Acts 9:23-26
23 Now after many days were past, the Jews plotted to kill him. 24 But their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night, to kill him. 25 Then the disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall in a large basket. 26 And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, and did not believe that he was a disciple.
The religious leaders of the Jews were threatened by this new sect (which was really just the core of the old, fulfilled), and so made plans to kill Saul. Some followers of Christ helped him escape, but then those in Jerusalem did not even believe he followed Jesus, let alone trust him after killing so many disciples not long ago. So we may be targeted by those without and within as we follow Him in Spirit and in truth. We press toward the goal, running the race to see His face.
