In 2 Corinthians 11:26, Paul lists dangers from his own countrymen — the Damascus escape is a concrete instance of that general peril.

Acts 9:24 recounts the same plot: Jews watched the gates day and night to kill Saul, providing the background to Paul's escape.

Acts 9:25 describes the identical escape: disciples lowered Saul in a basket through a wall, matching Paul's account.

Galatians 1:17 notes Paul returned to Damascus after his conversion—this is the same city where he later escapes from the governor.
