Senken des Korbs

Paul is lowered in a large basket from a high city wall under the cover of night, while a believer above steadies the ropes from an opening in the masonry. The steep downward view emphasizes the danger of the escape and the faith of the disciples who helped preserve Paul’s life when enemies watched the gates of Damascus.

The scene draws from Paul’s escape after his conversion, when opposition rose against his preaching that Jesus is the Son of God. Rather than a triumphant public exit, the apostle’s ministry continues through humility, dependence, and deliverance. The basket becomes a symbol of God’s providence working through ordinary hands, hidden places, and courageous fellowship.
