Acts 9:23 CPDV

²¹  And all who heard him were astonished, and they said, 'Is this not the one who, in Jerusalem, was fighting against those invoking this name, and who came here for this: so that he might lead them away to the leaders of the priests?'

²²  But Saul was increasing to a greater extent in ability, and so he was confounding the Jews who lived at Damascus, by affirming that he is the Christ.

²³  And when many days were completed, the Jews took counsel as one, so that they might put him to death.

²⁴  But their treachery became known to Saul. Now they were also watching the gates, day and night, so that they might put him to death.

²⁵  But the disciples, taking him away by night, sent him over the wall by letting him down in a basket.
