Acts 9:23

21 All who heard him were astounded and asked, “Isn’t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”

22 But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.

After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him,

24 but Saul learned of their plot. Day and night they watched the city gates in order to kill him.

25 One night, however, his disciples took him and lowered him in a basket through a window in the wall.
