This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
By the wall (διὰ τοῦ τείχους)
Rev., more accurately, through the wall, as is explained by 2Co 11:33. Either through the window of a house overhanging the wall, or through a window in the wall itself opening to houses on its inner side. Hackett says that he observed such windows in the wall at Damascus. On the mode of escape, compare Jos 2:15; 1Sa 19:12.
Basket (σπυρίδι)
See on Mat 14:20. In Paul's account of this adventure he uses σαργάνη, a plaited or braided basket of wicker-work; or, as some think, of ropes.
