9:2	And desired of him letters to Damascus to the Synagogues, that if he found any that were of that way (either men or women) hee might bring them bound vnto Hierusalem.
9:3	Now as he iourneyed, it came to passe that as he was come neere to Damascus, suddenly there shined rounde about him a light from heauen.
9:4	And hee fell to the earth, and heard a voyce, saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

9:16	For I will shewe him, howe many things he must suffer for my Names sake.
9:17	Then Ananias went his way, and entred into that house, and put his hands on him, and sayd, Brother Saul, the Lord hath sent me (euen Iesus that appeared vnto thee in the way as thou camest) that thou mightest receiue thy sight, and be filled with the holy Ghost.
9:18	And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had bene scales, and suddenly he receiued sight, and arose, and was baptized,
9:19	And receiued meate, and was strengthened. So was Saul certaine dayes with the disciples which were at Damascus.
9:20	And straightway hee preached Christ in the Synagogues, that he was that Sonne of God,
9:21	So that all that heard him, were amased, and sayde, Is not this hee, that made hauocke of them which called on this Name in Hierusalem, and came hither for that intent, that hee should bring them bound vnto the hie Priests?
9:22	But Saul encreased the more in strength, and confounded the Iewes which dwelt at Damascus, confirming, that this was that Christ.
9:23	And after that many dayes were fulfilled, the Iewes tooke counsell together, to kill him,
9:24	But their laying awayte was knowen of Saul: nowe they watched the gates day and night, that they might kill him.

9:28	And hee was conuersant with them at Hierusalem,
9:29	And spake boldly in the Name of the Lord Iesus, and spake and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
9:30	But when the brethren knewe it, they brought him to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
9:31	Then had the Churches rest through all Iudea, and Galile, and Samaria, and were edified and walked in the feare of the Lord, and were multiplied by the comfort of the holy Ghost.
9:32	And it came to passe, as Peter walked throughout all quarters, hee came also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
9:33	And there he found a certaine man named Aeneas, which had kept his couch eight yeeres, and was sicke of the palsie.
9:34	Then said Peter vnto him, Aeneas, Iesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise and trusse thy couch together. And he arose immediately.
9:35	And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, sawe him, and turned to the Lord.
9:36	There was also at Ioppa a certaine woman, a disciple named Tabitha (which by interpretation is called Dorcas) she was full of good workes and almes which she did.
9:37	And it came to passe in those dayes, that she was sicke and dyed: and when they had washed her, they layd her in an vpper chamber.
9:38	Now forasmuch as Lydda was neere to Ioppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent vnto him two men, desiring that he would not delay to come vnto them.
9:39	Then Peter arose and came with them: and when hee was come, they brought him into the vpper chamber, where all the widowes stoode by him weeping, and shewing the coates and garments, which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
9:40	But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled downe, and prayed, and turned him to the body, and sayd, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and when she sawe Peter, sate vp.
9:41	Then he gaue her the hand and lift her vp, and called the Saints and widowes, and restored her aliue.
9:42	And it was knowen throughout all Ioppa, and many beleeued in the Lord.
9:43	And it came to passe that he taried many dayes in Ioppa with one Simon a Tanner.


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.
