2 Corinthians 11:31

Jesus
Praise and worship

29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not burn with grief?

30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is forever worthy of praise, knows that I am not lying.

32 In Damascus, the governor under King Aretas secured the city of the Damascenes in order to arrest me.

33 But I was lowered in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his grasp.
