故事
说：
"耶稣活着，祂是神的儿子，" 保罗高声对人们说。 "耶稣，你们处死的那一位，已经复活，我亲眼见过祂。"
保罗在去大马士革的路上遇见耶稣后，眼睛瞎了三天。后来他遇见了一个叫亚拿尼亚的人，帮助他恢复了视力。就在那之后，保罗相信并受洗。在此之前，他曾是那些追随耶稣的人的敌人，但现在他知道了真相。他也成为了一名追随者，他必须告诉其他人这个美好的消息。
"耶稣活着！祂是永生神的儿子！" 保罗继续告诉人们。
听了保罗的话后，城市里的许多犹太人也信了；然而，仍然有一些人不信。事实上，他们变得愤怒和怨恨。
他们互相说："这不是扫罗吗？他应该帮我们追捕这些所谓的信徒，并让他们因追随耶稣而受苦。但他现在不是在逮捕他们，反而通过让更多的人追随耶稣来帮助他们。我们必须阻止他，这事现在就得办！"
但保罗继续分享他的故事，告诉人们耶稣活着，祂是神的儿子。他尽力躲避那些不信的犹太人，不让他们找到他。但经过多天，他们决定抓住保罗并处死他。他们四处搜索，甚至紧盯着城门，如果保罗试图离开，他们可以抓住他。
保罗和他的朋友知道发生了什么。他们需要以某种方式帮助保罗安全离开大马士革。留在城市里将会很危险。但城门受到守卫，周围都有高墙。他们如何将保罗安全带出呢？
突然，神给了他们一个主意。"我们可以把你放在篮子里，通过城墙上的一个开口降下去，" 他们告诉保罗。
"放在篮子里？会不会有点危险？" 保罗问。
"是的，这非常危险，但神会帮助我们。这是唯一的办法，" 他们哀求道。 "如果你留在这里，肯定会被杀害！"
于是，保罗同意了。深夜，保罗和他的朋友找到一个足够大的篮子，让他爬进去。他们将长绳系在每个提手上，小心翼翼地将他降到地面上。这花了一段时间，也很吓人，但保罗安全降下来。那个晚上，他离开了，径直去了耶路撒冷，与那里的信徒在一起。
保罗心里想："希望我在耶路撒冷会安全。"

PAUL'S BRAVE ESCAPE
The story of when Paul's friends helped him escape from Damascus by lowering him in a basket through an opening in the city wall. (Acts 9:19-27) TOPICS: Friendship, Paul, Protection, Witnessing
DURATION: Approximately 10 minutes "Jesus is alive, and He is the Son of God," Paul said in a loud voice to the people. "Jesus, the one you put to death, has risen, and I have seen Him." After Paul met Jesus on the road to Damascus, he was blind for three days. But then he met a man named Ananias, who helped him regain his sight. Immediately after that Paul believed and was baptized. Before he was an enemy of those who followed Jesus, but now he knew the truth. He was a follower too, and he had to tell others about this wonderful news."Jesus is alive! He is the Son of the living God!" Paul continued to tell the people.
After hearing Paul, many of the Jewish people in the city also believed; however, some still did not. In fact, they became angry and bitter.
They said to each other, "Isn't this man Saul, the one who is supposed to be helping us hunt down these so called believers, and make them suffer for following Jesus? Instead of arresting them, he is helping them by making even more people follow Jesus. We must stop him, now!"
But Paul continued to share his story, and tell people that Jesus is alive, and He is the Son of God. He did his best to outsmart the unbelieving Jews, and stay out of their way. But after many days, they decided to capture Paul and put him to death. They searched high and low. They even kept a close watch of the city gates, so if Paul tried to leave the city, they could capture him.
Paul and his friends knew what was going on. Somehow, they needed to help Paul get out of Damascus. Staying in the city just would not be safe. But the gate was guarded, and there was a high wall all around the city. How could they get Paul out to safety?
Suddenly, God gave them an idea. "We can lower you down through an opening in the wall in a basket," they told Paul.
"In a basket? Won't that be a little dangerous?" asked Paul.
"Yes, it is very dangerous, but God will help us. It's the only way," they pleaded. "If you stay here, surely you will be killed!"
So Paul agreed. Late that night, Paul and his friends found a basket large enough for him to get inside. They tied long ropes to each handle, and carefully lowered him down to the ground. It took a while, and it was pretty scary, but Paul made it down safely. He left the city that night, and went straight to Jerusalem to be with the believers who lived there.
Paul thought to himself, "Hopefully, I will be safe in Jerusalem."
