Acts 9:23-30

23Now after some days had passed, the Jews plotted together to kill him,

24but Saul learned of their plot against him. They were also watching the city gates day and night so that they could kill him.

25But his disciples took him at night and let him down through an opening in the wall by lowering him in a basket.

26When he arrived in Jerusalem, he attempted to associate with the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, because they did not believe that he was a disciple.

27But Barnabas took Saul, brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken out boldly in the name of Jesus.

28So he was staying with them, associating openly with them in Jerusalem, speaking out boldly in the name of the Lord.

29He was speaking and debating with the Greek-speaking Jews, but they were trying to kill him.

30When the brothers found out about this, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.
