18. And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight and got up and was baptized,
19. and after taking food, he regained his strength. And he was with the disciples in Damascus several days.
20. And immediately he began proclaiming Jesus in the synagogues: “This one is the Son of God!”
21. And all who heard him were amazed, and were saying, “Is this not the one who was wreaking havoc in Jerusalem on those who call upon this name, and had come here for this reason, that he could bring them tied up to the chief priests?”
22. But Saul was increasing in strength even more, and was confounding the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that this one is the Christ.
23. And when many days had elapsed, the Jews plotted to do away with him.
24. But their plot became known to Saul, and they were also watching the gates both day and night so that they could do away with him.
25. But his disciples took him at night and let him down through the wall by lowering him in a basket.
