But{G1161} Saul,{G4569} yet{G2089} breathing{G1709} threatening{G547} and{G1161} slaughter{G5408} against{G1519} the disciples{G3101} of the Lord,{G2962} went unto{G4334} the high priest,{G749}

and asked{G154} of{G3844} him{G846} letters{G1992} to{G1519} Damascus{G1154} unto{G4314} the synagogues,{G4864} that{G3704} if{G1437} he found{G2147} any{G5100} that were{G5607} of the Way,{G3598} whether{G5037} men{G435} or{G2532} women,{G1135} he might bring{G71} them bound{G1210} to{G1519} Jerusalem.{G2419}

And{G1161} as{G1722} he journeyed,{G4198} it came{G1096} to pass that he{G846} drew{G1096} nigh{G1448} unto Damascus:{G1154} and{G2532} suddenly{G1810} there shone round about{G4015} him{G846} a light{G5457} out of heaven:{G3772}

and{G2532} he fell{G4098} upon{G1909} the earth,{G1093} and heard{G191} a voice{G5456} saying{G3004} unto him,{G846} Saul,{G4549} Saul,{G4549} why{G5101} persecutest{G1377} thou me?{G3165}

And{G1161} he said,{G2036} Who{G5101} art thou,{G1488} Lord?{G2962} And{G1161} he [said],{G2036} I{G1473} am{G1510} Jesus{G2424} whom{G3739} thou{G4771} persecutest:{G1377}

but rise,{G450} and{G5037} enter into{G1519} the city,{G4172} and{G2532} it shall be told{G2036} thee{G4671} what{G5101} thou{G2309} must{G1163} do.{G4160}

And{G1161} the men{G435} that{G3588} journeyed{G4922} with him{G846} stood{G2476} speechless,{G1769} hearing{G191} {G3303} the voice,{G5456} but{G1161} beholding{G2334} no man.{G3367}

And{G1161} Saul{G4569} arose{G1453} from{G575} the earth;{G1093} and when{G1161} his{G846} eyes{G3788} were opened,{G455} he saw{G991} nothing;{G3762} and{G1161} they led{G5496} him{G846} by the hand,{G5496} and brought{G1521} him into{G1519} Damascus.{G1154}

And{G2532} he was{G2258} three{G5140} days{G2250} without{G3361} sight,{G991} and{G2532} did neither{G3756} eat{G5315} nor{G3761} drink.{G4095}

Now{G1161} there was{G2258} a certain{G5100} disciple{G3101} at{G1722} Damascus,{G1154} named{G3686} Ananias;{G367} and{G2532} the Lord{G2962} said{G2036} unto{G4314} him{G846} in{G1722} a vision,{G3705} Ananias.{G367} And{G1161} he said,{G2036} Behold,{G2400} I{G1473} [am here], Lord.{G2962}

And{G1161} the Lord{G2962} [said] unto{G4314} him,{G846} Arise,{G450} and go{G4198} to{G4314} the street{G4505} which{G3588} is called{G2564} Straight,{G2117} and{G2532} inquire{G2212} in{G1722} the house{G3614} of Judas{G2455} for{G2212} one named{G3686} Saul,{G4569} a man of Tarsus:{G5018} for{G1063} behold,{G2400} he prayeth;{G4336}

and{G2532} he hath seen{G1492} {G1722} {G3705} a man{G435} named{G3686} Ananias{G367} coming in,{G1722} and{G2532} laying{G2007} his hands{G5495} on him,{G846} that{G3704} he might receive his sight.{G308}

But{G1161} Ananias{G367} answered,{G611} Lord,{G2962} I have heard{G191} from{G575} many{G4183} of{G4012} this{G5127} man,{G435} how much{G3745} evil{G2556} he did{G4160} to thy{G4675} saints{G40} at{G1722} Jerusalem:{G2419}

and{G2532} here{G5602} he hath{G2192} authority{G1849} from{G3844} the chief priests{G749} to bind{G1210} all{G3956} that call upon{G1941} thy{G4675} name.{G3686}

But{G1161} the Lord{G2962} said{G2036} unto{G4314} him,{G846} Go thy way:{G4198} for{G3754} he{G3778} is{G2076} a chosen{G1589} vessel{G4632} unto me,{G3427} to bear{G941} my{G3450} name{G3686} before{G1799} the Gentiles{G1484} and{G2532} kings,{G935} and{G5037} the children{G5207} of Israel:{G2474}

for{G1063} I{G1473} will show{G5263} him{G846} how many things{G3745} he{G846} must{G1163} suffer{G3958} for{G5228} my{G3450} name's sake.{G3686}

And{G1161} Ananias{G367} departed,{G565} and{G2532} entered{G1525} into{G1519} the house;{G3614} and{G2532} laying his{G2007} hands{G5495} on{G1909} him{G846} said,{G2036} Brother{G80} Saul,{G4549} the Lord,{G2962} [even] Jesus,{G2424} who{G3588} appeared{G3700} unto thee{G4671} in{G1722} the way{G3598} which{G3739} thou camest,{G2064} hath sent{G649} me,{G3165} that{G3704} thou mayest receive thy sight,{G308} and{G2532} be filled{G4130} with the Holy{G40} Spirit.{G4151}

And{G2532} straightway{G2112} there fell{G634} from{G575} his{G846} eyes{G3788} as it were scales,{G3013} and{G5037} he received his sight;{G308} {G3916} and{G2532} he arose{G450} and{G2532} was baptized;{G907}

and{G2532} he took food{G5160} and{G2532} was{G1096} strengthened.{G1765} And he{G1161} was{G1096} certain{G5100} days{G2250} with{G3326} the disciples{G3101} that were{G3588} at{G1722} Damascus.{G1154}

And{G2532} straightway{G2112} in{G1722} the synagogues{G4864} he proclaimed{G2784} Jesus,{G5547} that{G3754} he{G3778} is{G2076} the Son{G5207} of God.{G2316}

And{G1161} all{G3956} that{G3588} heard{G191} him were amazed,{G1839} and{G2532} said,{G3004} Is{G2076} not{G3756} this{G3778} he that{G3588} in{G1722} Jerusalem{G2419} made havoc{G4199} of them that{G3588} called on{G1941} this{G5124} name?{G3686} and{G2532} he had come{G2064} hither{G5602} for{G1519} this intent,{G5124} that{G2443} he might bring{G71} them{G846} bound{G1210} before{G1909} the chief priests.{G749}

But{G1161} Saul{G4569} increased{G1743} the more{G3123} in strength,{G1743} and{G2532} confounded{G4797} the Jews{G2453} that{G3588} dwelt{G2730} at{G1722} Damascus,{G1154} proving{G4822} that{G3754} this{G3778} is{G2076} the{G3588} Christ.{G5547}

And{G1161} when{G5613} many{G2425} days{G2250} were fulfilled,{G4137} the Jews{G2453} took counsel{G4823} together to kill{G337} him:{G846}

but{G1161} their{G846} plot{G1917} became known{G1097} to Saul.{G4569} And{G5037} they watched{G3906} the gates{G4439} also{G5037} day{G2250} and{G2532} night{G3571} that they might{G3704} kill{G337} him:{G846}

but{G1161} his disciples{G3101} took{G2983} him{G846} by night,{G3571} and let{G2524} him down{G5465} through{G1223} the wall,{G5038} lowering him in{G1722} a basket.{G4711}

And{G1161} when he{G4569} was come{G3854} to{G1519} Jerusalem,{G2419} he assayed{G3987} to join himself{G2853} to the disciples:{G3101} and{G2532} they were{G5399} all{G3956} afraid{G5399} of him,{G846} not{G3361} believing{G4100} that{G3754} he was{G2076} a disciple.{G3101}

But{G1161} Barnabas{G921} took{G1949} him,{G846} and brought{G71} him to{G4314} the apostles,{G652} and{G2532} declared{G1334} unto them{G846} how{G4459} he had seen{G1492} the Lord{G2962} in{G1722} the way,{G3598} and{G2532} that{G3754} he had spoken to{G2980} him,{G846} and{G2532} how{G4459} at{G1722} Damascus{G1154} he had preached boldly{G3955} in{G1722} the name{G3686} of Jesus.{G2424}

And{G2532} he was{G2258} with{G3326} them{G846} going in{G1531} and{G2532} going out{G1607} at{G1722} Jerusalem,{G2419}

{G2532} preaching boldly{G3955} in{G1722} the name{G3686} of the Lord:{G2962} {G2424} and{G5037} he spake{G2980} and{G2532} disputed{G4802} against{G4314} the Grecian{G1675} Jews; but{G1161} they were seeking{G2021} to kill{G337} him.{G846}

And when{G1161} the brethren{G80} knew{G1921} it, they brought{G2609} him{G846} down{G2609} to{G1519} Caesarea,{G2542} and{G2532} sent{G1821} him{G846} forth{G1821} to{G1519} Tarsus.{G5019}

So{G3767} the church{G1577} throughout{G2596} all{G3650} Judaea{G2449} and{G2532} Galilee{G1056} and{G2532} Samaria{G4540} had{G2192} peace,{G1515} being edified;{G3618} and,{G2532} walking{G4198} in the fear{G5401} of the Lord{G2962} and{G2532} in the comfort{G3874} of the Holy{G40} Spirit,{G4151} was multiplied.{G3303}

And{G1161} it came to pass,{G1096} as Peter{G4074} went{G1330} throughout{G1223} all{G3956} parts, he came down{G2718} also{G2532} to{G4314} the saints{G40} that{G3588} dwelt{G2730} at Lydda.{G3069}

And{G1161} there{G1563} he found{G2147} a certain{G5100} man{G444} named{G3686} Aeneas,{G132} who{G3739} had kept{G2621} his{G1909} bed{G2895} {G1537} eight{G3638} years;{G2094} for he was{G2258} palsied.{G3886}

And{G2532} Peter{G4074} said{G2036} unto him,{G846} Aeneas,{G132} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} {G2390} healeth{G2390} thee:{G4571} arise{G450} and{G2532} make{G2390} thy{G4572} bed.{G4766} And{G2532} straightway{G2112} he arose.{G450}

And{G2532} all{G3956} that{G3748} dwelt{G2730} at Lydda{G3069} and{G2532} in Sharon saw{G1492} him,{G846} and{G2532} they turned{G1994} to{G1909} the Lord.{G2962}

Now{G1161} there was{G2258} at{G1722} Joppa{G2445} a certain{G5100} disciple{G3102} named{G3686} Tabitha,{G5000} which{G3739} by interpretation{G1329} is called{G3004} Dorcas:{G1393} this{G3778} woman{G846} was{G2258} full{G4134} of good{G18} works{G2041} and{G2532} almsdeeds{G1654} which{G3739} she did.{G4160}

And{G1161} it came to pass{G1096} in{G1722} those{G1565} days,{G2250} that she{G846} fell sick,{G770} and died:{G599} and when they had washed{G3068} her,{G846} they laid{G5087} her{G846} in{G1722} an upper chamber.{G5253}

And{G1161} as{G5607} Lydda{G3069} was nigh{G1451} unto Joppa,{G2445} the{G191} disciples,{G3101} hearing{G191} that{G3754} Peter{G4074} was{G2076} {G1722} there,{G846} sent{G649} two{G1417} men{G435} unto{G4314} him,{G846} entreating{G3870} him,{G3870} Delay{G3635} not{G3361} to{G3635} come{G1330} on unto{G2193} us.{G846}

And{G1161} Peter{G4074} arose{G450} and went{G4905} with them.{G846} And when{G3739} he was come,{G3854} they brought him{G321} into{G1519} the upper chamber:{G5253} and{G2532} all{G3956} the widows{G5503} stood by{G3936} him{G846} weeping,{G2799} and{G2532} showing{G1925} the coats{G5509} and{G2532} garments{G2440} which{G3745} Dorcas{G1393} made,{G4160} while she was{G5607} with{G3326} them.{G846}

But{G1161} Peter{G4074} put them{G1544} all{G3956} forth,{G5087} and kneeled down{G1119} and prayed;{G4336} and{G2532} turning{G1994} to{G4314} the body,{G4983} he said,{G2036} Tabitha,{G5000} arise.{G450} And{G1161} she opened{G455} her{G846} eyes;{G3788} and{G2532} when she saw{G1492} Peter,{G4074} she sat up.{G339}

And{G1161} he gave{G1325} her{G846} his hand,{G5495} and raised{G450} her{G846} up;{G450} and{G1161} calling{G5455} the saints{G40} and{G2532} widows,{G5503} he presented{G3936} her{G846} alive.{G2198}

And{G1161} it became{G1096} known{G1110} throughout{G2596} all{G3650} Joppa:{G2445} and{G2532} many{G4183} believed{G4100} on{G1909} the Lord.{G2962}

And{G1161} it came to pass,{G1096} that he{G846} abode{G3306} many{G2425} days{G2250} in{G1722} Joppa{G2445} with{G3844} one{G5100} Simon{G4613} a tanner.{G1038}
