Early in his ministry, Saul/Paul had a rough ride. First, he had to escape from Damascus over the city walls in a basket. Then, he had to escape from Jerusalem to the coast and on to his home city of Tarsus.
None of this was possible without his friends in Christ. Without his friends, he would have had to chance going through the gate of Damascus and risk being caught. Without Barnabas, he would not have received an acceptable introduction to the Apostles. And without friends, he could not have escaped the Hellenists.
Paul's ministry depended on God. And God always sent friends to rescue Saul from the danger and minister to him in his suffering.
