What did God give Paul while Paul was unconscious after being stoned at Lystra?

While Paul was unconscious after being stoned and dragged out of Lystra for dead, God gave him an even greater experience. The teaching connects this moment with 2 Corinthians 12, but the provided context does not specify or describe the content of that experience.

Les explains that at Lystra, certain Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, persuaded the people, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing he was dead. Les then has us turn to 2 Corinthians chapter 12 because the timing is identical. He says he likes to think, and makes no apology for teaching, that while Paul was unconscious after being stoned and dragged out for dead, God gave him an even greater experience. The supplied unit does not state what that greater experience was.

Acts 14:19

And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.

2 Corinthians 12
