NASB
"In Damascus the ethnarch under Aretas the king was guarding the city of the Damascenes in order to seize me,"
— 2 Corinthians 11:32, NASB
“In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:”
“In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes in order to take me: ”
“In Damascus the governor under King Aretas guarded the city of the Damascenes desiring to arrest me.”
“In Damascus, the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of Damascus in order to arrest me,”
“At Damascus, the governor of the nation under Aretas the king, guarded the city of the Damascenes, to apprehend me.”
“In Damascus, the ruler under Aretas the king kept watch over the town of the people of Damascus, in order to take me:”
“In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:”
Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern?
If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my weakness.
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, He who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.
In Damascus the ethnarch under Aretas the king was guarding the city of the Damascenes in order to seize me,
and I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and so escaped his hands.
