2 Corinthians 11:33

Protection and safety

31 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.

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