Acts 9:20-5 claims that after his sight was restored, Paul straightaway began to preach Christianity in the synagogues, until the Jews took counsel to kill him. Disciples helped him escape the wrath of the Jews by lowering him down by the wall in a basket. However, who these disciples were is not stated.

In Paul's own version of events, the pagan governor of Damascus sought to arrest Paul, but he escaped the soldiers by being lowered in a basket from a window by the wall. The governor would not have been at all interested in an internal squabble amongst the Jews, so Paul must have been preaching to the Gentiles and converting many. Once again, Paul did not state who helped him.
