Acts 9
|
- 9:1
And
Saul,
yet breathing
out
threatenings
and
slaughter
against the
disciples of the
Lord,
went unto the high
priest,
|
- 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.
|
- 9:3
And as
he
journeyed
*, he
came
near
Damascus:
and
suddenly there shined round
about
him a
light
from
heaven:
|
- 9:4
And he
fell
to the
earth, and
heard a
voice
saying unto
him,
Saul,
Saul,
why persecutest
thou
me?
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 9:7
And the
men
which
journeyed with
him
stood
speechless,
hearing
* a
voice,
but
seeing no
man.
|
- 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.
|
- 9:9
And he
was
three
days
without
sight,
and
neither did
eat
nor
drink.
|
- 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.
|
- 9:11
And the
Lord said
unto
him,
Arise, and
go
into the
street
which is
called
Straight,
and
enquire
in the
house of
Judas for one
called
Saul, of
Tarsus:
for,
behold, he
prayeth,
|
- 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.
|
- 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:
|
- 9:14
And
here he
hath
authority
from the chief
priests to
bind
all that
call on
thy
name.
|
- 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:
|
- 9:16
For
I will
shew
him how great
things
he
must
suffer
for
my name's
sake
*.
|
- 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.
|
- 9:18
And
immediately there
fell
from
his
eyes
as it had been
scales: and he received
sight
forthwith,
and
arose,
and was
baptized.
|
- 9:19
And when he had
received
meat, he was
strengthened.
Then
was
Saul
certain
days
with the
disciples which were
at
Damascus.
|
- 9:20
And
straightway he
preached
Christ
in the
synagogues,
that
he
is the
Son of
God.
|
- 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?
|
- 9:22
But
Saul
increased the
more in
strength,
and
confounded the
Jews
which
dwelt
at
Damascus,
proving
that
this
is very
Christ.
|
- 9:23
And
after that
many
days were
fulfilled, the
Jews took
counsel to
kill
him:
|
- 9:24
But
their laying
await was
known of
Saul.
And they
watched the
gates
day
and
night
to
kill
him.
|
- 9:25
Then the
disciples
took
him by
night, and let him
down
*
by the
wall
in a
basket.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 9:28
And he
was
with
them coming
in
and going
out
at
Jerusalem.
|
- 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.
|
- 9:30 Which
when the
brethren
knew, they
brought
him
down
to
Caesarea,
and
sent
him
forth
to
Tarsus.
|
- 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.
|
- 9:32
And it
came to pass,
as
Peter passed
throughout
*
all quarters, he came
down
also
to the
saints
which
dwelt at
Lydda.
|
- 9:33
And
there he
found a
certain
man
named
Aeneas, which had
kept
* his
bed
*
eight
years,
and
was sick of the
palsy.
|
- 9:34
And
Peter
said unto
him,
Aeneas,
Jesus
Christ
maketh
thee
whole:
arise,
and
make
thy
bed.
And he
arose
immediately.
|
- 9:35
And
all that
dwelt at
Lydda
and
Saron
saw
him,
and
turned
to the
Lord.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 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,
desiring him that he
would
not
delay to
come
to
them.
|
- 9:39
Then
Peter
arose and went
with
them. When
he was
come, they brought
him
into the upper
chamber:
and
all the
widows stood
by
him
weeping,
and
shewing the
coats
and
garments
which
Dorcas
made, while she
was
with
them.
|
- 9:40
But
Peter
put them
all
forth, and kneeled
down
*, and
prayed;
and
turning him
to the
body
said,
Tabitha,
arise.
And she
opened
her
eyes:
and when she
saw
Peter, she sat
up.
|
- 9:41
And he
gave
her his
hand, and
lifted
her
up,
and when he had
called the
saints
and
widows,
presented
her
alive.
|
- 9:42
And it
was
known
throughout
all
Joppa;
and
many
believed
in the
Lord.
|
- 9:43
And it came to
pass, that
he
tarried
many
days
in
Joppa
with
one
Simon a
tanner.
