2 Corinthians 11:33

“And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.”

I apologize for the confusion, but there is no verse 2 Corinthians 11:33 in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. However, there is a verse that closely resembles it in some other translations. In the New King James Version (NKJV), 2 Corinthians 11:33 reads:

This verse is part of a larger passage in which the apostle Paul is defending his apostleship and addressing the challenges and opposition he faced in his ministry. Throughout the passage, Paul describes the sufferings he endured for the sake of the Gospel.

In 2 Corinthians 11:23-29, Paul lists various hardships he experienced, including beatings, imprisonments, shipwrecks, and other dangers. In verse 33, he refers to a specific incident where he had to escape from a city by being let down in a basket through a window in the city wall. This event occurred in Damascus when the governor of the city sought to arrest him after his conversion to Christianity (Acts 9:23-25).

Paul’s mention of this escape highlights his determination and perseverance in spreading the Gospel despite facing significant opposition and danger. It serves as a testament to his commitment to fulfilling his mission as an apostle and his unwavering faith in God’s protection and guidance.
