22 But Saul was increasing in strength even more, and was confounding the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that this one is the Christ.
23 And when many days had elapsed, the Jews plotted to do away with him.
24 But their plot became known to Saul, and they were also watching the gates both day and night so that they could do away with him.
25 But his disciples took him at night and let him down through the wall by lowering him in a basket.
26 And when he arrived in Jerusalem, he was attempting to associate with the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, because they did not believe that he was a disciple.
27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.
28 And he was going in and going out among them in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
