Psalm 46; Matthew 9.35-end; Acts 9. 19b- 35

Poor Saul; all his old allies seem to want to kill him. 

I note the way he escapes here, in a similar way that the spies escaped Jericho. Whereas they were saved by Rahab, he was saved by the disciples, escaping with their lives by being lowered over the wall in a basket. Is there something to reflect on here about the spies having seen the Promised Land, and Saul's developing vision of the Kingdom?
