Acts - Chapter: 9


9:1	And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the disciples of the Lord, having gone to the chief priest,
9:2	did ask from him letters to Damascus, unto the synagogues, that if he may find any being of the way, both men and women, he may bring them bound to Jerusalem.
9:3	And in the going, he came nigh to Damascus, and suddenly there shone round about him a light from the heaven,
9:4	and having fallen upon the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, `Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute?'
9:5	And he said, `Who art thou, Lord?' and the Lord said, `I am Jesus whom thou dost persecute; hard for thee at the pricks to kick;'
9:6	trembling also, and astonished, he said, `Lord, what dost thou wish me to do?' and the Lord `said' unto him, `Arise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what it behoveth thee to do.'
9:7	And the men who are journeying with him stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice but seeing no one,
9:8	and Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes having been opened, he beheld no one, and leading him by the hand they brought him to Damascus,
9:9	and he was three days without seeing, and he did neither eat nor drink.
9:10	And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias, and the Lord said unto him in a vision, `Ananias;' and he said, `Behold me, Lord;'
9:11	and the Lord `saith' unto him, `Having risen, go on unto the street that is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, `one' by name Saul of Tarsus, for, lo, he doth pray,
9:12	and he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and putting a hand on him, that he may see again.'
9:13	And Ananias answered, `Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Thy saints in Jerusalem,
9:14	and here he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Thy name.'
9:15	And the Lord said unto him, `Be going on, because a choice vessel to Me is this one, to bear My name before nations and kings -- the sons also of Israel;
9:16	for I will shew him how many things it behoveth him for My name to suffer.'
9:17	And Ananias went away, and did enter into the house, and having put upon him `his' hands, said, `Saul, brother, the Lord hath sent me -- Jesus who did appear to thee in the way in which thou wast coming -- that thou mayest see again, and mayest be filled with the Holy Spirit.'
9:18	And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, he saw again also presently, and having risen, was baptized,
9:19	and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days,
9:20	and immediately in the synagogues he was preaching the Christ, that he is the Son of God.
9:21	And all those hearing were amazed, and said, `Is not this he who laid waist in Jerusalem those calling on this name, and hither to this intent had come, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?'
9:22	And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
9:23	And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him,
9:24	and their counsel against `him' was known to Saul; they were also watching the gates both day and night, that they may kill him,
9:25	and the disciples having taken him, by night did let him down by the wall, letting down in a basket.
9:26	And Saul, having come to Jerusalem, did try to join himself to the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple,
9:27	and Barnabas having taken him, brought `him' unto the apostles, and did declare to them how in the way he saw the Lord, and that he spake to him, and how in Damascus he was speaking boldly in the name of Jesus.
9:28	And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem,
9:29	and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, he was both speaking and disputing with the Hellenists, and they were taking in hand to kill him,
9:30	and the brethren having known, brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
9:31	Then, indeed, the assemblies throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, being built up, and, going on in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
9:32	And it came to pass that Peter passing throughout all `quarters', came down also unto the saints who were dwelling at Lydda,
9:33	and he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name -- for eight years laid upon a couch -- who was paralytic,
9:34	and Peter said to him, `Aeneas, heal thee doth Jesus the Christ; arise and spread for thyself;' and immediately he rose,
9:35	and all those dwelling at Lydda, and Saron saw him, and did turn to the Lord.
9:36	And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, (which interpreted, is called Dorcas,) this woman was full of good works and kind acts that she was doing;
9:37	and it came to pass in those days she, having ailed, died, and having bathed her, they laid her in an upper chamber,
9:38	and Lydda being nigh to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in that `place', sent two men unto him, calling on him not to delay to come through unto them.
9:39	And Peter having risen, went with them, whom having come, they brought into the upper chamber, and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing coats and garments, as many as Dorcas was making while she was with them.
9:40	And Peter having put them all forth without, having bowed the knees, did pray, and having turned unto the body said, `Tabitha, arise;' and she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up,
9:41	and having given her `his' hand, he lifted her up, and having called the saints and the widows, he presented her alive,
9:42	and it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord;
9:43	and it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa, with a certain one, Simon a tanner.


9:1	And Saul yet brethynge oute threatnynges and slaughter agaynst ye disciples of the lorde went vnto ye hye preste
9:2	and desyred of him letters to Damasco to ye synagoges: that yf he founde eny of this waye whether they were men or wemen he myght bringe them bounde vnto Ierusalem.

9:14	and here he hath auctorite of the hye prestes to bynde all that call on thy name.
9:15	The lorde sayde vnto him: Goo thy wayes: for he is a chosen vessell vnto me to beare my name before the gentyls and kynges and the chyldren of Israel.
9:16	For I will shewe him how great thinges he must suffre for my names sake.
9:17	Ananias went his waye and entryd into ye housse and put his hondes on him and sayde: brother Saul the lorde that apperyd vnto the in the waye as thou camst hath sent me that thou myghtest receave thy syght and be filled with the holy goost.
9:18	And immediatly ther fell from his eyes as it had bene scales and he receaved syght and arose and was baptised
9:19	and receaved meate and was comforted. Then was Saul a certayne daye wt the disciples which were at Damasco.
9:20	And streyght waye he preached Christ in the synagoges how that he was the sonne of God.
9:21	All that hearde him were amased and sayde: is not this he that spoyled the which called on this name in Ierusalem and came hyther for ye entent that he shuld bringe the bounde vnto the hye prestes?
9:22	But Saul encreased in stregth and confounded the Iewes which dwelte at Damasco affirminge that this was very Christ.
9:23	And after a good whyle ye Iewes toke counsell to gether to kyll him.
9:24	But their layinge awayte was knowen of Saul. And they watched at the gates daye and nyght to kyll him.

9:26	And when Saul was come to Ierusalem he assayde to cople him silfe with ye discyples and they were all afrayde of hym and beleued not that he was a disciple.

9:28	And he had his conuersacion with them at Ierusalem
9:29	and quit hym silfe boldly in the name of the lorde Iesu. And he spake and disputed wyth the grekes: and they went aboute to slee hym.
9:30	But when the brethren knew of that they brought hym to cesarea and sent hym forth to Tharsus.
9:31	Then had ye congregacios rest thorowoute all Iewry and galile and Samary and were edified and walked in the feare of the lorde and multiplied by the comforte of the holy gost.
