Context
NETBible

But his disciples took him at night and let him down through an opening 1  in the wall by lowering him in a basket. 2 

XREF

Jos 2:15; 1Sa 19:11,12; 2Co 11:33

NET © Notes

tn The opening in the wall is not specifically mentioned here, but the parallel account in 2 Cor 11:33 mentions a “window” or “opening” (θυρίς, quris) in the city wall through which Paul was lowered. One alternative to introducing mention of the opening is to translate Acts 9:25 “they let him down over the wall,” as suggested in L&N 7.61. This option is not employed by many translations, however, because for the English reader it creates an (apparent) contradiction between Acts 9:25 and 2 Cor 11:33. In reality the account here is simply more general, omitting the detail about the window.

tn On the term for “basket” used here, see BDAG 940 s.v. σπυρίς.
