Acts 22:1-9 : 1 Men, brethren, & fathers, heare ye mine aunswer whiche I make vnto you. 2 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrue tongue to the, they kept ye more scilence.

And he sayde vnto me: I am Iesus of Nazareth whom thou persecutest. 9 And they that were with me, sawe veryly a lyght, and were afrayde: but they hearde not the voyce of hym that spake with me. 10 And I saide: What shall I do Lord? And the Lorde sayde vnto me: Aryse, and go into Damascus, & there it shalbe tolde thee of all thynges whiche are appoynted for thee to do. 11 And when I sawe nothyng for the bryghtnesse of the lyght, I was ledde by the hande of the that were with me, and came into Damascus. 12 And one Ananias, a deuout man as perteynyng to the lawe, hauyng a good report of all the Iewes whiche there dwelt, 13 Came vnto me, and stoode, and sayde vnto me: Brother Saul, receaue thy syght. And the same houre I receaued my syght, and sawe hym. 14 And he said: The God of our fathers hath ordeyned thee before, that thou shouldest knowe his wyll, and see that iuste one, and shouldest heare the voyce of his mouth. 15 For thou shalt be his witnesse vnto all men, of those thynges which thou hast seene and hearde: 16 And nowe why taryest thou? aryse, & be baptized, & wasshe away thy sinnes, in callyng on the name of the Lorde. 17 And it came to passe, that whe I was come agayne to Hierusalem, and prayed in the temple, I was in a traunce, 18 And sawe him, saying vnto me: Make haste and get thee quickly out of Hierusalem: for they wyl not receaue thy witnesse concernyng me. 19 And I sayde: Lord, they knowe that I prisoned and beat in euery synagogue them that beleued on thee. 20 And when the blood of thy wytnesse Steuen was shedde, I also stoode by, and consented vnto his death, and kept the rayment of them that slue hym. 21 And he sayde vnto me: depart, for I wyll sende thee farre hence vnto the gentiles. 22 And they gaue him audience vnto this worde, and then lift vp their voyces and sayde: away with suche a felowe from the earth, for it is no reason yt he shoulde lyue. 23 And as they cryed, and caste of their clothes, and threwe dust into the ayre, 24 The chiefe captaine comaunded hym to be brought into the castle, & bade that he shoulde be scourged, and examined, that he myght knowe wherefore they cryed so on hym. 25 And as they boude him with thonges, Paul saide vnto ye Centurion that stoode by: Is it lawfull for you to scourge a man that is a Romane, and vncondempned? 26 When the Centurion hearde that, he went and tolde the vpper captaine, saying: Take heede what thou doest, for this man is a Romane. 27 Then the vpper captaine came, & saide vnto him: Tel me, art thou a Romane? He sayde, yea. 28 And the chiefe captaine aunswered: With a great summe obteyned I this freedome. And Paul saide: I was free borne. 29 Then strayghtway departed fro him they which should haue examined him. And the hie captaine also was afrayde, after he knew that he was a Romane, and because he had bounde hym. 30 On the morowe, because he woulde haue knowen the certaintie wherefore he was accused of the Iewes, he loosed hym from his bandes, and commaunded the hye priestes & all the counsell to come together, & brought Paul foorth, and set hym before them.
