1 And * g1161 Saul * g4569, yet * g2089 breathing out * g1709 g5723 threatenings * g547 and * g2532 slaughter * g5408 against * g1519 the disciples * g3101 of the Lord * g2962, went * g4334 g5631 unto the high priest * g749,
2 And desired * g154 g5668 of * g3844 him * g846 letters * g1992 to * g1519 Damascus * g1154 to * g4314 the synagogues * g4864, that * g3704 if * g1437 he found * g2147 g5632 any * g5100 of this way * g3598, whether * g5037 they were g5607 g5752 men * g435 or * g2532 women * g1135, he might bring them * g71 g5632 bound * g1210 g5772 unto * g1519 Jerusalem * g2419. of this way: Gr. of the way
3 And * g1161 as he * g846 journeyed * g4198 g5738 * g1722, he came * g1096 g5633 near * g1448 g5721 Damascus * g1154: and * g2532 suddenly * g1810 there shined round about * g4015 g5656 him * g846 a light * g5457 from * g575 heaven * g3772:
4 And * g2532 he fell * g4098 g5631 to * g1909 the earth * g1093, and heard * g191 g5656 a voice * g5456 saying * g3004 g5723 unto him * g846, Saul * g4549, Saul * g4549, why * g5101 persecutest thou * g1377 g5719 me * g3165?
5 And * g1161 he said * g2036 g5627, Who * g5101 art thou * g1488 g5748, Lord * g2962? And * g1161 the Lord * g2962 said * g2036 g5627, I * g1473 am * g1510 g5748 Jesus * g2424 whom * g3739 thou * g4771 persecutest * g1377 g5719: it is hard * g4642 for thee * g4671 to kick * g2979 g5721 against * g4314 the pricks * g2759.
6 And * g5037 he trembling * g5141 g5723 and * g2532 astonished * g2284 g5723 said * g2036 g5627, Lord * g2962, what * g5101 wilt thou have * g2309 g5719 me * g3165 to do * g4160 g5658? And * g2532 the Lord * g2962 said unto * g4314 him * g846, Arise * g450 g5628, and * g2532 go * g1525 g5628 into * g1519 the city * g4172, and * g2532 it shall be told * g2980 g5701 thee * g4671 what * g5101 thou * g4571 must * g1163 g5748 do * g4160 g5721.
7 And * g1161 the men * g435 which * g3588 journeyed * g4922 g5723 with him * g846 stood * g2476 g5715 speechless * g1769, hearing * g191 g5723 * g3303 a voice * g5456, but * g1161 seeing * g2334 g5723 no man * g3367.
8 And * g1161 Saul * g4569 arose * g1453 g5681 from * g575 the earth * g1093; and * g1161 when his * g846 eyes * g3788 were opened * g455 g5772, he saw * g991 g5707 no man * g3762: but * g1161 they led * g5496 him * g846 by the hand * g5496 g5723, and brought * g1521 g5627 him into * g1519 Damascus * g1154.
9 And * g2532 he was * g2258 g5713 three * g5140 days * g2250 without * g3361 sight * g991 g5723, and * g2532 neither * g3756 did eat * g5315 g5627 nor * g3761 drink * g4095 g5627.
10 And * g1161 there was * g2258 g5713 a certain * g5100 disciple * g3101 at * g1722 Damascus * g1154, named * g3686 Ananias * g367; and * g2532 to * g4314 him * g846 said * g2036 g5627 the Lord * g2962 in * g1722 a vision * g3705, Ananias * g367. And * g1161 he said * g2036 g5627, Behold * g2400 g5628, I * g1473 am here , Lord * g2962.
11 And * g1161 the Lord * g2962 said unto * g4314 him * g846, Arise * g450 g5631, and go * g4198 g5676 into * g1909 the street * g4505 which * g3588 is called * g2564 g5746 Straight * g2117, and * g2532 enquire * g2212 g5657 in * g1722 the house * g3614 of Judas * g2455 for one called * g3686 Saul * g4569, of Tarsus * g5018: for * g1063, behold * g2400 g5628, he prayeth * g4336 g5736,
12 And * g2532 hath seen * g1492 g5627 in * g1722 a vision * g3705 a man * g435 named * g3686 Ananias * g367 coming in * g1525 g5631, and * g2532 putting * g2007 his hand * g5495 on * g2007 g5631 him * g846, that * g3704 he might receive his sight * g308 g5661.
13 Then * g1161 Ananias * g367 answered * g611 g5662, Lord * g2962, I have heard * g191 g5754 by * g575 many * g4183 of * g4012 this * g5127 man * g435, how much * g3745 evil * g2556 he hath done * g4160 g5656 to thy * g4675 saints * g40 at * g1722 Jerusalem * g2419:
14 And * g2532 here * g5602 he hath * g2192 g5719 authority * g1849 from * g3844 the chief priests * g749 to bind * g1210 g5658 all * g3956 that call * g1941 g5734 on thy * g4675 name * g3686.
15 But * g1161 the Lord * g2962 said * g2036 g5627 unto * g4314 him * g846, Go thy way * g4198 g5737: for * g3754 he * g3778 is * g2076 g5748 a chosen * g1589 vessel * g4632 unto me * g3427, to bear * g941 g5658 my * g3450 name * g3686 before * g1799 the Gentiles * g1484, and * g2532 kings * g935, and * g5037 the children * g5207 of Israel * g2474:
16 For * g1063 I * g1473 will shew * g5263 g5692 him * g846 how great things * g3745 he * g846 must * g1163 g5748 suffer * g3958 g5629 for * g5228 my * g3450 name's sake * g3686 * g5228.
17 And * g1161 Ananias * g367 went his way * g565 g5627, and * g2532 entered * g1525 g5627 into * g1519 the house * g3614; and * g2532 putting * g2007 g5631 his hands * g5495 on * g1909 him * g846 said * g2036 g5627, Brother * g80 Saul * g4549, the Lord * g2962, even Jesus * g2424, that appeared * g3700 g5685 unto thee * g4671 in * g1722 the way * g3598 as * g3739 thou camest * g2064 g5711, hath sent * g649 g5758 me * g3165, that * g3704 thou mightest receive thy sight * g308 g5661, and * g2532 be filled with * g4130 g5686 the Holy * g40 Ghost * g4151.
18 And * g2532 immediately * g2112 there fell * g634 g5627 from * g575 his * g846 eyes * g3788 as * g5616 it had been scales * g3013: and he received sight * g308 g5656 forthwith * g3916, and * g5037 arose * g450 g5631, and * g2532 was baptized * g907 g5681.
19 And * g2532 when he had received * g2983 g5631 meat * g5160, he was strengthened * g1765 g5656. Then * g1161 was * g1096 g5633 Saul * g4569 certain * g5100 days * g2250 with * g3326 the disciples * g3101 which were at * g1722 Damascus * g1154.
20 And * g2532 straightway * g2112 he preached * g2784 g5707 Christ * g5547 in * g1722 the synagogues * g4864, that * g3754 he * g3778 is * g2076 g5748 the Son * g5207 of God * g2316.
21 But * g1161 all * g3956 that heard * g191 g5723 him were amazed * g1839 g5710, and * g2532 said * g3004 g5707; Is * g2076 g5748 not * g3756 this * g3778 he that destroyed * g4199 g5660 them which * g3588 called on * g1941 g5734 this * g5124 name * g3686 in * g1722 Jerusalem * g2419, and * g2532 came * g2064 g5715 hither * g5602 for * g1519 that * g5124 intent * g1519, that * g2443 he might bring * g71 g5632 them * g846 bound * g1210 g5772 unto * g1909 the chief priests * g749?
22 But * g1161 Saul * g4569 increased * g1743 the more * g3123 in strength * g1743 g5712, and * g2532 confounded * g4797 g5707 the Jews * g2453 which * g3588 dwelt * g2730 g5723 at * g1722 Damascus * g1154, proving * g4822 g5723 that * g3754 this * g3778 is * g2076 g5748 very Christ * g5547.
23 And * g1161 after * g5613 that many * g2425 days * g2250 were fulfilled * g4137 g5712, the Jews * g2453 took counsel * g4823 g5668 to kill * g337 g5629 him * g846:
24 But * g1161 their * g846 laying await * g1917 was known * g1097 g5681 of Saul * g4569. And * g5037 they watched * g3906 g5707 the gates * g4439 day * g2250 and * g2532 night * g3571 to * g3704 kill * g337 g5661 him * g846.
25 Then * g1161 the disciples * g3101 took * g2983 g5631 him * g846 by night * g3571, and let him down * g2524 g5656 * g5465 g5660 by * g1223 the wall * g5038 in * g1722 a basket * g4711.
26 And * g1161 when Saul * g4569 was come * g3854 g5637 to * g1519 Jerusalem * g2419, he assayed * g3987 g5711 to join himself * g2853 g5745 to the disciples * g3101: but * g2532 they were * g5399 all * g3956 afraid * g5399 g5711 of him * g846, and believed * g4100 g5723 not * g3361 that * g3754 he was * g2076 g5748 a disciple * g3101.
27 But * g1161 Barnabas * g921 took * g1949 g5637 him * g846, and brought * g71 g5627 him to * g4314 the apostles * g652, and * g2532 declared * g1334 g5662 unto them * g846 how * g4459 he had seen * g1492 g5627 the Lord * g2962 in * g1722 the way * g3598, and * g2532 that * g3754 he had spoken * g2980 g5656 to him * g846, and * g2532 how * g4459 he had preached boldly * g3955 g5662 at * g1722 Damascus * g1154 in * g1722 the name * g3686 of Jesus * g2424.
28 And * g2532 he was * g2258 g5713 with * g3326 them * g846 coming in * g1531 g5740 and * g2532 going out * g1607 g5740 at * g1722 Jerusalem * g2419.
29 And * g2532 he spake * g2980 g5707 boldly * g3955 g5740 in * g1722 the name * g3686 of the Lord * g2962 Jesus * g2424, and * g5037 * g2532 disputed * g4802 g5707 against * g4314 the Grecians * g1675: but * g1161 they went about * g2021 g5707 to slay * g337 g5629 him * g846.
30 Which when * g1161 the brethren * g80 knew * g1921 g5631, they brought * g2609 him * g846 down * g2609 g5627 to * g1519 Caesarea * g2542, and * g2532 sent * g1821 him * g846 forth * g1821 g5656 to * g1519 Tarsus * g5019.
31 Then * g3303 * g3767 had * g2192 g5707 the churches * g1577 rest * g1515 throughout * g2596 all * g3650 Judaea * g2449 and * g2532 Galilee * g1056 and * g2532 Samaria * g4540, and were edified * g3618 g5746; and * g2532 walking in * g4198 g5740 the fear * g5401 of the Lord * g2962, and * g2532 in the comfort * g3874 of the Holy * g40 Ghost * g4151, were multiplied * g4129 g5712.
32 And * g1161 it came * g1096 g5633 to pass, as * g1330 Peter * g4074 passed throughout * g1330 g5740 * g1223 all * g3956 quarters , he came down * g2718 g5629 also * g2532 to * g4314 the saints * g40 which * g3588 dwelt * g2730 g5723 at Lydda * g3069.
33 And * g1161 there * g1563 he found * g2147 g5627 a certain * g5100 man * g444 named * g3686 Aeneas * g132, which had kept * g2621 g5740 * g1909 his bed * g2895 * g1537 eight * g3638 years * g2094, and * g3739 was * g2258 g5713 sick of the palsy * g3886 g5772.
34 And * g2532 Peter * g4074 said * g2036 g5627 unto him * g846, Aeneas * g132, Jesus * g2424 Christ * g5547 maketh * g2390 thee * g4571 whole * g2390 g5736: arise * g450 g5628, and * g2532 make * g4766 thy * g4572 bed * g4766 g5657. And * g2532 he arose * g450 g5627 immediately * g2112.
35 And * g2532 all * g3956 that dwelt * g2730 g5723 at Lydda * g3069 and * g2532 Saron * g4565 saw * g1492 g5627 him * g846, and * g3748 turned * g1994 g5656 to * g1909 the Lord * g2962.
