Apostlenes gjerninger 9,24

22 Men Saulus ble stadig mektigere og forvirret jødene som bodde i Damaskus ved å bevise at Jesus er Messias.

23 Etter mange dager hadde gått, la jødene en plan om å drepe ham,

men deres plan ble kjent for Saulus. De voktet byportene dag og natt for å drepe ham.

25 Men hans tilhengere tok ham om natten og lot ham ned gjennom en åpning i muren, senket ham i en kurv.

26 Da han kom til Jerusalem, prøvde han å slutte seg til disiplene, men de var alle redde for ham, og trodde ikke at han var en disippel.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
