2 Corinthians 11:32-33; Escaped His Hand
2 Corinthians 11:32-33 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me: And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
This incident of his near capture in Damascus was cited by the Apostle Paul. What was the reason? For preaching the gospel. In the initial days of his preaching there was a curious interest but later, he was hounded by the unbelieving Jews. The authorities were contacted, the governor and his guards came after him. It was a precarious moment when the disciples had let him down by the wall of the city. He escaped.
