"Paul Menaced by the Jews" is an engraving by the French artist Gustave Doré, created as part of his illustrations for the Bible. Gustave Doré (1832–1883) was a prolific engraver, artist, illustrator, and sculptor, known especially for his detailed and imaginative illustrations for books. Among his most famous works are the illustrations for Dante's "Divine Comedy," Cervantes's "Don Quixote," and the Bible.

The engraving depicts a scene from the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 9:23-25) in the New Testament, where Paul the Apostle, formerly known as Saul of Tarsus, is threatened by the Jews after his conversion to Christianity. According to the biblical account, the Jews plotted to kill Paul, but he learned of their plan. His followers helped him escape by lowering him in a basket through an opening in the city wall.

Doré's illustration captures the tension and drama of the moment. His use of light and shadow, as well as the expressive faces and postures of the figures, convey the urgency and danger of Paul's situation. The work is part of Doré's larger endeavor to illustrate the Bible, a project that was first published in France in 1866 and subsequently in many editions around the world. These illustrations have had a significant impact on the visual culture of the Bible and have influenced the way biblical scenes are depicted in various media.

"Paul Menaced by the Jews" is an example of Doré's masterful storytelling through art and his ability to bring biblical narratives to life. His illustrations remain widely recognized and have been reprinted in numerous editions of the Bible, as well as in art books and as standalone prints. The work is part of the public domain and can be found in various art collections, libraries, and digital archives.
