AC-9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter
against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
AC-9:2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues,
that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women,
he
might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
AC-9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly
there shined round about him a light from heaven:
AC-9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto
him,
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
AC-9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am
Jesus whom thou persecutest: [it is] hard for thee to kick
against
the pricks.
AC-9:6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt
thou
have me to do? And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go into
the
city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
AC-9:7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless,
hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
AC-9:8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were
opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought
[him] into Damascus.
AC-9:9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat
nor
drink.
AC-9:10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named
Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he
said,
Behold, I [am here], Lord.
AC-9:11 And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go into the
street
which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for
[one] called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
AC-9:12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in,
and putting [his] hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
AC-9:13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of
this
man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
AC-9:14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to
bind
all that call on thy name.
AC-9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a
chosen
vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings,
and
the children of Israel:
AC-9:16 For I will show him how great things he must suffer for
my
name's sake.
AC-9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house;
and
putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even]
Jesus,
that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me,
that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy
Ghost.
AC-9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been
scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was
baptized.
AC-9:19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then
was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
AC-9:20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues,
that
he is the Son of God.
AC-9:21 But all that heard [him] were amazed, and said; Is not
this
he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem,
and
came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto
the
chief priests?
AC-9:22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded
the
Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
AC-9:23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took
counsel to kill him:
AC-9:24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they
watched
the gates day and night to kill him.
AC-9:25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let [him]
down by
the wall in a basket.
AC-9:26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join
himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and
believed not that he was a disciple.
AC-9:27 But Barnabas took him, and brought [him] to the
apostles,
and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and
that
he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus
in
the name of Jesus.
AC-9:28 And he was with them coming in and going out at
Jerusalem.
AC-9:29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and
disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
AC-9:30 [Which] when the brethren knew, they brought him down to
Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
AC-9:31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and
Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of
the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
AC-9:32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all
[quarters], he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
AC-9:33 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, which had
kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
AC-9:34 And Peter said unto him, AEneas, Jesus Christ maketh
thee
whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
AC-9:35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and
turned
to the Lord.
AC-9:36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha,
which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of
good works and almsdeeds which she did.
AC-9:37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick,
and
died: whom when they had washed, they laid [her] in an upper
chamber.
AC-9:38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the
disciples
had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men,
