[1]AndG1161 SaulG4569, yetG2089 breathing outG1709[G5723] threateningsG547 andG2532 slaughterG5408 againstG1519 the disciplesG3101 of the LordG2962, wentG4334[G5631] unto the high priestG749,
[2]And desiredG154[G5668] ofG3844 himG846 lettersG1992 toG1519 DamascusG1154 toG4314 the synagoguesG4864, thatG3704 ifG1437 he foundG2147[G5632] anyG5100 of this wayG3598, whetherG5037 they wereG5607[G5752] menG435 orG2532 womenG1135, he might bring themG71[G5632] boundG1210[G5772] untoG1519 JerusalemG2419.
[3]AndG1161 as heG846 journeyedG4198[G5738][G1722], he cameG1096[G5633] nearG1448[G5721] DamascusG1154: andG2532 suddenlyG1810 there shined round aboutG4015[G5656] himG846 a lightG5457 fromG575 heavenG3772:
[4]AndG2532 he fellG4098[G5631] toG1909 the earthG1093, and heardG191[G5656] a voiceG5456 sayingG3004[G5723] unto himG846, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thouG1377[G5719] meG3165?
[5]AndG1161 he saidG2036[G5627], WhoG5101 art thouG1488[G5748], LordG2962? AndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036[G5627], IG1473 amG1510[G5748] JesusG2424 whomG3739 thouG4771 persecutestG1377[G5719]: it is hardG4642 for theeG4671 to kickG2979[G5721] againstG4314 the pricksG2759.
[6]AndG5037 he tremblingG5141[G5723] andG2532 astonishedG2284[G5723] saidG2036[G5627], LordG2962, whatG5101 wilt thou haveG2309[G5719] meG3165 to doG4160[G5658]? AndG2532 the LordG2962 said untoG4314 himG846, AriseG450[G5628], andG2532 goG1525[G5628] intoG1519 the cityG4172, andG2532 it shall be toldG2980[G5701] theeG4671 whatG5101 thouG4571 mustG1163[G5748] doG4160.[G5721]
[7]AndG1161 the menG435 whichG3588 journeyedG4922[G5723] with himG846 stoodG2476[G5715] speechlessG1769, hearingG191[G5723][G3303] a voiceG5456, butG1161 seeingG2334[G5723] no manG3367.
[8]AndG1161 SaulG4569 aroseG1453[G5681] fromG575 the earthG1093; andG1161 when hisG846 eyesG3788 were openedG455[G5772], he sawG991[G5707] no manG3762: butG1161 they ledG5496 himG846 by the handG5496[G5723], and broughtG1521[G5627] him intoG1519 DamascusG1154.
[9]AndG2532 he wasG2258[G5713] threeG5140 daysG2250 withoutG3361 sightG991[G5723], andG2532 neitherG3756 did eatG5315[G5627] norG3761 drinkG4095.[G5627]
[10]AndG1161 there wasG2258[G5713] a certainG5100 discipleG3101 atG1722 DamascusG1154, namedG3686 AnaniasG367; andG2532 toG4314 himG846 saidG2036[G5627] the LordG2962 inG1722 a visionG3705, AnaniasG367. AndG1161 he saidG2036[G5627], BeholdG2400[G5628], IG1473 am here, LordG2962.
[11]AndG1161 the LordG2962 said untoG4314 himG846, AriseG450[G5631], and goG4198[G5676] intoG1909 the streetG4505 whichG3588 is calledG2564[G5746] StraightG2117, andG2532 enquireG2212[G5657] inG1722 the houseG3614 of JudasG2455 for one calledG3686 SaulG4569, of TarsusG5018: forG1063, beholdG2400[G5628], G4336he prayethG5736
[12]AndG2532 hath seenG1492[G5627] inG1722 a visionG3705 a manG435 namedG3686 AnaniasG367 coming inG1525[G5631], andG2532 puttingG2007 his handG5495 onG2007[G5631] himG846, thatG3704 he might receive his sightG308.[G5661]
[13]ThenG1161 AnaniasG367 answeredG611[G5662], LordG2962, I have heardG191[G5754] byG575 manyG4183 ofG4012 thisG5127 manG435, how muchG3745 evilG2556 he hath doneG4160[G5656] to thyG4675 saintsG40 atG1722 JerusalemG2419:
[14]AndG2532 hereG5602 he hathG2192[G5719] authorityG1849 fromG3844 the chief priestsG749 to bindG1210[G5658] allG3956 that callG1941[G5734] on thyG4675 nameG3686.
[15]ButG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036[G5627] untoG4314 himG846, Go thy wayG4198[G5737]: forG3754 heG3778 isG2076[G5748] a chosenG1589 vesselG4632 unto meG3427, to bearG941[G5658] myG3450 nameG3686 beforeG1799 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 kingsG935, andG5037 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474:
[16]ForG1063 IG1473 will shewG5263[G5692] himG846 how great thingsG3745 heG846 mustG1163[G5748] sufferG3958[G5629] forG5228 myG3450 name's sakeG3686.[G5228]
[17]AndG1161 AnaniasG367 went his wayG565[G5627], andG2532 enteredG1525[G5627] intoG1519 the houseG3614; andG2532 puttingG2007[G5631] his handsG5495 onG1909 himG846 saidG2036[G5627], BrotherG80 SaulG4549, the LordG2962, even JesusG2424, that appearedG3700[G5685] unto theeG4671 inG1722 the wayG3598 asG3739 thou camestG2064[G5711], hath sentG649[G5758] meG3165, thatG3704 thou mightest receive thy sightG308[G5661], andG2532 be filled withG4130[G5686] the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
[18]AndG2532 immediatelyG2112 there fellG634[G5627] fromG575 hisG846 eyesG3788 asG5616 it had been scalesG3013: and he received sightG308[G5656] forthwithG3916, andG5037 aroseG450[G5631], andG2532 was baptizedG907.[G5681]
[19]AndG2532 when he had receivedG2983[G5631] meatG5160, he was strengthenedG1765[G5656]. ThenG1161 wasG1096[G5633] SaulG4569 certainG5100 daysG2250 withG3326 the disciplesG3101 which were atG1722 DamascusG1154.
[20]AndG2532 straightwayG2112 he preachedG2784[G5707] ChristG5547 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864, thatG3754 heG3778 isG2076[G5748] the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
[21]ButG1161 allG3956 that heardG191[G5723] him were amazedG1839[G5710], andG2532 saidG3004[G5707]; IsG2076[G5748] notG3756 thisG3778 he that destroyedG4199[G5660] them whichG3588 called onG1941[G5734] thisG5124 nameG3686 inG1722 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 cameG2064[G5715] hitherG5602 forG1519 thatG5124 intentG1519, thatG2443 he might bringG71[G5632] themG846 boundG1210[G5772] untoG1909 the chief priestsG749?
[22]ButG1161 SaulG4569 increasedG1743 the moreG3123 in strengthG1743[G5712], andG2532 confoundedG4797[G5707] the JewsG2453 whichG3588 dweltG2730[G5723] atG1722 DamascusG1154, provingG4822[G5723] thatG3754 thisG3778 isG2076[G5748] very ChristG5547.
[23]AndG1161 afterG5613 that manyG2425 daysG2250 were fulfilledG4137[G5712], the JewsG2453 took counselG4823[G5668] to killG337[G5629] himG846:
[24]ButG1161 theirG846 laying awaitG1917 was knownG1097[G5681] of SaulG4569. AndG5037 they watchedG3906[G5707] the gatesG4439 dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571 toG3704 killG337[G5661] himG846.
[25]ThenG1161 the disciplesG3101 tookG2983[G5631] himG846 by nightG3571, and let him downG2524[G5656][G5465][G5660] byG1223 the wallG5038 inG1722 a basketG4711.
[26]AndG1161 when SaulG4569 was comeG3854[G5637] toG1519 JerusalemG2419, he assayedG3987[G5711] to join himselfG2853[G5745] to the disciplesG3101: butG2532 they wereG5399 allG3956 afraidG5399[G5711] of himG846, and believedG4100[G5723] notG3361 thatG3754 he wasG2076[G5748] a discipleG3101.
[27]ButG1161 BarnabasG921 tookG1949[G5637] himG846, and broughtG71[G5627] him toG4314 the apostlesG652, andG2532 declaredG1334[G5662] unto themG846 howG4459 he had seenG1492[G5627] the LordG2962 inG1722 the wayG3598, andG2532 thatG3754 he had spokenG2980[G5656] to himG846, andG2532 howG4459 he had preached boldlyG3955[G5662] atG1722 DamascusG1154 inG1722 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424.
[28]AndG2532 he wasG2258[G5713] withG3326 themG846 coming inG1531[G5740] andG2532 going outG1607[G5740] atG1722 JerusalemG2419.
[29]AndG2532 he spakeG2980[G5707] boldlyG3955[G5740] inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG5037[G2532] disputedG4802[G5707] againstG4314 the GreciansG1675: butG1161 they went aboutG2021[G5707] to slayG337[G5629] himG846.
[30]Which whenG1161 the brethrenG80 knewG1921[G5631], they broughtG2609 himG846 downG2609[G5627] toG1519 CaesareaG2542, andG2532 sentG1821 himG846 forthG1821[G5656] toG1519 TarsusG5019.
[31]ThenG3303[G3767] hadG2192[G5707] the churchesG1577 restG1515 throughoutG2596 allG3650 JudaeaG2449 andG2532 GalileeG1056 andG2532 SamariaG4540, and were edifiedG3618[G5746]; andG2532 walking inG4198[G5740] the fearG5401 of the LordG2962, andG2532 in the comfortG3874 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, were multipliedG4129.[G5712]
[32]AndG1161 it cameG1096[G5633] to pass, asG1330 PeterG4074 passed throughoutG1330[G5740][G1223] allG3956 quarters, he came downG2718[G5629] alsoG2532 toG4314 the saintsG40 whichG3588 dweltG2730[G5723] at LyddaG3069.
[33]AndG1161 thereG1563 he foundG2147[G5627] a certainG5100 manG444 namedG3686 AeneasG132, which had keptG2621[G5740][G1909] his bedG2895[G1537] eightG3638 yearsG2094, andG3739 wasG2258[G5713] sick of the palsyG3886.[G5772]
[34]AndG2532 PeterG4074 saidG2036[G5627] unto himG846, AeneasG132, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 makethG2390 theeG4571 wholeG2390[G5736]: ariseG450[G5628], andG2532 makeG4766 thyG4572 bedG4766[G5657]. AndG2532 he aroseG450[G5627] immediatelyG2112.
[35]AndG2532 allG3956 that dweltG2730[G5723] at LyddaG3069 andG2532 SaronG4565 sawG1492[G5627] himG846, andG3748 turnedG1994[G5656] toG1909 the LordG2962.
[36]NowG1161 there wasG2258[G5713] atG1722 JoppaG2445 a certainG5100 discipleG3102 namedG3686 TabithaG5000, whichG3739 by interpretationG1329[G5746] is calledG3004[G5743] DorcasG1393: this womanG3778[G5625][G846] wasG2258[G5713] fullG4134 of goodG18 worksG2041 andG2532 almsdeedsG1654 whichG3739 she didG4160.[G5707]
[37]AndG1161 it came to passG1096[G5633] inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250, that she was sickG770[G5660], and diedG599[G5629]: whom whenG1161 theyG846 had washedG3068[G5660][G846], they laidG5087[G5656] her inG1722 an upper chamberG5253.
[38]AndG1161 forasmuch asG5607[G5752] LyddaG3069 was nighG1451 to JoppaG2445, and the disciplesG3101 had heardG191[G5660] thatG3754 PeterG4074 wasG2076[G5748] thereG1722[G846], they sentG649[G5656] untoG4314 himG846 twoG1417 menG435, desiringG3870[G5723] him that he wouldG3635 notG3361 delayG3635[G5658] to comeG1330[G5629] toG2193 themG846.
[39]ThenG1161 PeterG4074 aroseG450[G5631] and went withG4905[G5627] themG846. When heG3739 was comeG3854[G5637], they brought himG321[G5627] intoG1519 the upper chamberG5253: andG2532 allG3956 the widowsG5503 stood byG3936[G5656] himG846 weepingG2799[G5723], andG2532 shewingG1925[G5734] the coatsG5509 andG2532 garmentsG2440 whichG3745 DorcasG1393 madeG4160[G5707], while she wasG5607[G5752] withG3326 themG846.
[40]ButG1161 PeterG4074 putG1544[G5631] them allG3956 forthG1854, and kneeled downG5087[G5631][G1119], and prayedG4336[G5662]; andG2532 turningG1994[G5660] him toG4314 the bodyG4983 saidG2036[G5627], TabithaG5000, ariseG450[G5628]. AndG1161 she openedG455[G5656] herG846 eyesG3788: andG2532 when she sawG1492[G5631] PeterG4074, she sat upG339.[G5656]
[41]AndG1161 he gaveG1325[G5631] herG846 his handG5495, and liftedG450 herG846 upG450[G5656], andG1161 when he had calledG5455[G5660] the saintsG40 andG2532 widowsG5503, presentedG3936[G5656] herG846 aliveG2198.[G5723]
[42]AndG1161 it wasG1096[G5633] knownG1110 throughoutG2596 allG3650 JoppaG2445; andG2532 manyG4183 believedG4100[G5656] inG1909 the LordG2962.
[43]AndG1161 it came to passG1096[G5633], that heG846 tarriedG3306[G5658] manyG2425 daysG2250 inG1722 JoppaG2445 withG3844 oneG5100 SimonG4613 a tannerG1038.
