People's Bible Notes for Acts 9:25


Ac 9:25 Let [him] down by the wall. As the gates were guarded, there was no escape that way. Houses built against or on the wall, would afford an opportunity of letting him down on the outside. "And through a window, in a basket, was I let down by the wall and escaped his hands" (2Co 11:33).
