2 Corinthians 11:33
Through a window ( δια θυριδος ). For this late word see on Ac 20:9, the only N.T. example.Was I let down ( εχαλασθην ). First aorist passive of χαλαω, the very word used by Luke in Ac 9:25.
In a basket ( εν σαργανη ). Old word for rope basket whereas Luke (Ac 9:25) has εν σφυριδ (the word for the feeding of the 4,000 while κοφινος is the one for the 5,000). This was a humiliating experience for Paul in this oldest city of the world whither he had started as a conqueror over the despised Christians.
