9 · ho But de Saul Saulos, still eti breathing empneō threat apeilē and kai murder phonos against eis the ho disciples mathētēs of the ho Lord kyrios, went proserchomai to the ho high archiereus priest 2 and requested aiteō from para him autos letters epistolē to eis Damascus Damaskos addressed to pros the ho synagogues synagōgē, that hopōs if ean he found heuriskō any tis who were eimi of the ho Way hodos, men anēr or kai women gynē, he should bring agō them bound deō to eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm. 3 As en · de he autos traveled poreuō along , approaching engizō · ho Damascus Damaskos, suddenly exaiphnēs a light phōs from ek heaven ouranos shone all around periastraptō him autos; · ho 4 and kai falling piptō to epi the ho ground gē, he heard akouō a voice phōnē saying legō to him autos, “ Saul Saoul, Saul Saoul, why tis are you persecuting diōkō me egō?” 5 And de he said legō, “ Who tis are eimi you , Lord kyrios?” And de he ho said, “ I egō am eimi Jesus Iēsous, whom hos you sy are persecuting diōkō. 6 But alla rise anistēmi and kai go eiserchomai into eis the ho city polis, and kai it will be told laleō you sy what hos tis you sy must dei do poieō.” 7 The ho · de men anēr who ho were traveling synodeuō with him autos stood histēmi speechless eneos, hearing akouō the ho voice phōnē but de seeing theōreō no mēdeis one . 8 So de Saul Saulos got egeirō up from apo the ho ground gē, but de although his autos eyes ophthalmos were open anoigō, · ho he could see blepō nothing oudeis. So de they cheiragōgeō led him by the hand and brought eisagō him autos into eis Damascus Damaskos. 9 And kai he was eimi three treis days hēmera without mē sight blepō and kai neither ou ate esthiō nor oude drank pinō anything.

10 Now de there was eimi a tis disciple mathētēs at en Damascus Damaskos named onoma Ananias Hananias; and kai the ho Lord kyrios said legō to pros him autos in en a vision horama, “ Ananias Hananias.” And de he ho replied legō, “ Here idou I egō am, Lord kyrios.” 11 Then de the ho Lord kyrios told pros him autos, “ Get anistēmi up and go poreuō to epi the ho street rhymē · ho called kaleō ‘Straight,’ and kai inquire zēteō at en the house oikia of Judas Ioudas for a man from Tarsus Tarseus named onoma Saul Saulos, for gar even idou now he is praying proseuchomai, 12 and kai in en a vision horama he has seen a man anēr named onoma Ananias Hananias come eiserchomai in and kai lay epitithēmi his ho hands cheir on him autos so hopōs that he might regain his sight anablepō.” 13 But de Ananias Hananias answered apokrinomai, “ Lord kyrios, I have heard akouō from apo many polys about peri · ho this houtos man anēr, how hosos much harm kakos he did poieō to ho your sy saints hagios at en Jerusalem Ierousalēm. 14 And kai here hōde he has echō authority exousia from para the ho chief archiereus priests to imprison deō all pas who ho call epikaleō on · ho your sy name onoma.” 15 But de the ho Lord kyrios said legō to pros him autos, “ Go poreuō, for hoti this man houtos is eimi for me egō a chosen eklogē instrument skeuos to ho carry bastazō · ho my egō name onoma before enōpion both te Gentiles ethnos and kai kings basileus and te the sons hyios of Israel Israēl, 16 for gar I egō will show hypodeiknymi him autos how hosos much he autos must dei suffer paschō for hyper the sake of ho my egō name onoma.” 17 So de Ananias Hananias went aperchomai and kai entered eiserchomai eis the ho house oikia; · kai he placed epitithēmi his ho hands cheir on epi Saul autos and said legō, “ Brother adelphos Saul Saoul, the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous, who ho appeared horaō to you sy on en the ho road hodos by hos which you came erchomai, has sent apostellō me egō so hopōs that you may recover your sight anablepō and kai be filled pimplēmi with the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma.” 18 And kai immediately eutheōs something like hōs flakes lepis fell apopiptō from apo his autos · ho eyes ophthalmos, and te he regained anablepō his sight . Then kai he got anistēmi up and was baptized baptizō; 19 and kai taking lambanō food trophē, he was strengthened enischuō. And de he was ginomai with meta the ho disciples mathētēs in en Damascus Damaskos for several tis days hēmera. 20 And kai right eutheōs away he began proclaiming kēryssō Jesus Iēsous in en the ho synagogues synagōgē, · ho that hoti this houtos man is eimi the ho Son hyios of ho God theos. 21 And de all pas who ho heard akouō him were astonished existēmi and kai said legō, “ Is eimi not ou this houtos the ho man who in eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm was trying to destroy portheō those ho who called epikaleō on · ho this houtos name onoma? And kai has he erchomai not come erchomai here hōde for eis the very houtos purpose of hina bringing agō them autos bound deō before epi the ho chief archiereus priests ?” 22 But de Saul Saulos became more mallon and more capable endynamoō, and kai threw syncheō into confusion the ho Jews Ioudaios who ho lived katoikeō in en Damascus Damaskos by proving symbibazō that hoti this houtos man Jesus is eimi the ho Christ Christos.

23 Now de after hōs some hikanos days hēmera had passed plēroō, the ho Jews Ioudaios plotted symbouleuō together to kill anaireō him autos, 24 but de their autos plot epiboulē was made known ginōskō to ho Saul Saulos. · ho They kept close watch paratēreō on · de · kai the ho gates pylē day hēmera and kai night nyx so hopōs that they might kill anaireō him autos; 25 but de his autos disciples mathētēs took lambanō · ho him by night nyx and let kathiēmi him autos down kathiēmi through dia an opening in the ho wall teichos, lowering chalaō him in en a basket spyris.

26 When he came paraginomai · de to eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm, he attempted peirazō to join kollaō the ho disciples mathētēs; but kai they were all pas afraid phobeomai of him autos, not mē believing pisteuō that hoti he was eimi a disciple mathētēs. 27 But de Barnabas Barnabas took epilambanomai him autos and brought agō him to pros the ho apostles apostolos and kai he related diēgeomai to them autos how pōs on en the ho road hodos he had seen the ho Lord kyrios, and kai that hoti the Lord had spoken laleō to him autos, and kai how pōs in en Damascus Damaskos he had spoken parrēsiazomai out boldly in en the ho name onoma of ho Jesus Iēsous. 28 And kai he was eimi with meta them autos, going eisporeuomai in and kai out ekporeuomai at eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm, speaking parrēsiazomai out boldly in en the ho name onoma of the ho Lord kyrios. 29 He was talking laleō and kai disputing syzēteō with pros the ho Greek-speaking Hellēnistēs Jews , but de they ho were looking epicheireō for a way to kill anaireō him autos. 30 And de when the ho brothers adelphos learned epiginōskō about this, they took katagō him autos down to eis Caesarea Kaisareia and kai sent exapostellō him autos off to eis Tarsus Tarsos.

31 So oun the ho church ekklēsia throughout kata all holos · ho Judea Ioudaia and kai Galilee Galilaia and kai Samaria Samareia had echō peace eirēnē; being built oikodomeō up , and kai walking poreuō in the ho fear phobos of the ho Lord kyrios and kai in the ho comfort paraklēsis of the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma, it increased plēthunō in number .

The Conversion of Saul

9 (A)Now [a]Saul, still (B)breathing [b]threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest, 2 and asked for (C)letters from him to (D)the synagogues in (E)Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to [c](F)the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them in shackles to Jerusalem. 3 Now as he was traveling, it happened that he was approaching Damascus, and (G)suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him; 4 and (H)he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” 5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And He said, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting, 6 but get up and enter the city, and (I)it will be told to you what you must do.” 7 The men who traveled with him (J)stood speechless, (K)hearing the [d]voice but seeing no one. 8 Saul got up from the ground, and (L)though his eyes were open, he [e]could see nothing; and leading him by the hand, they brought him into (M)Damascus. 9 And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

10 Now there was a disciple in (N)Damascus named (O)Ananias; and the Lord said to him in (P)a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.” 11 And the Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for a man from (Q)Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying, 12 and he has seen [f]in a vision a man named Ananias come in and (R)lay his hands on him, so that he might regain his sight.” 13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many people about this man, (S)how much harm he did to (T)Your [g]saints in Jerusalem; 14 and here he (U)has authority from the chief priests to [h]arrest all who (V)call on Your name.” 15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for (W)he is a chosen [i]instrument of Mine, to bear My name before (X)the Gentiles and (Y)kings and the sons of Israel; 16 for (Z)I will show him how much he must suffer in behalf of My name.” 17 So Ananias departed and entered the house, and after (AA)laying his hands on him said, “(AB)Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be (AC)filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 And immediately something like fish scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized; 19 and he took food and was strengthened.

Saul Begins to Preach Christ

Now (AD)for several days he was with (AE)the disciples who were in Damascus, 20 and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus (AF)in the synagogues, [j]saying, “He is (AG)the Son of God.” 21 All those hearing him continued to be amazed, and were saying, “Is this not the one who in Jerusalem (AH)destroyed those who (AI)called on this name, and had come here for the purpose of bringing them bound before the chief priests?” 22 But Saul kept increasing in strength and confounding Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that this Jesus is the [k]Christ.

23 When (AJ)many days had elapsed, (AK)the Jews plotted together to do away with him, 24 but (AL)their plot became known to Saul. (AM)They were also closely watching the gates day and night so that they might put him to death; 25 but his disciples took him at night and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a large basket.

26 (AN)When he came to Jerusalem, he tried repeatedly to associate with the disciples; and yet they were all afraid of him, as they did not believe that he was a disciple. 27 But (AO)Barnabas took hold of him and brought him to the apostles and described to them how he had (AP)seen the Lord on the road, and that He had talked to him, and how (AQ)he had (AR)spoken out boldly in the name of Jesus at Damascus. 28 And he was with them, [l]moving about freely in Jerusalem, (AS)speaking out boldly in the name of the Lord. 29 And he was talking and arguing with the [m](AT)Hellenistic Jews; but they were attempting to put him to death. 30 Now when (AU)the [n]brothers learned of it, they brought him down to (AV)Caesarea and (AW)sent him away to (AX)Tarsus.

31 So (AY)the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria [o]enjoyed peace, as it was being built up; and as it [p]continued in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it kept increasing.

Peter’s Ministry

32 Now as Peter was traveling through all those regions, he also came down to (AZ)the [q]saints who lived at [r](BA)Lydda. 33 There he found a man named Aeneas who had been bedridden for eight years, [s]because he was paralyzed. 34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your own bed.” Immediately he got up. 35 And all who lived at [t](BB)Lydda and (BC)Sharon saw him, and they (BD)turned to the Lord.

36 Now in (BE)Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which when translated means [u]Dorcas); this woman was [v]excelling in acts of kindness and charity which she did habitually. 37 But it happened [w]at that time that she became sick and died; and when they had washed her body, they laid it in an (BF)upstairs room. 38 Since Lydda was near (BG)Joppa, (BH)the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, urging him, “Do not delay in coming to us.” 39 So Peter got ready and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him into the (BI)room upstairs; and all the (BJ)widows stood beside him, weeping and showing all the [x]tunics and garments that Dorcas used to make while she was with them. 40 But Peter (BK)sent them all out and (BL)knelt down and prayed, and turning to the body, he said, “(BM)Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 41 And he gave her his hand and raised her up; and calling (BN)the [y]saints and (BO)widows, he presented her alive. 42 It became known all over (BP)Joppa, and (BQ)many believed in the Lord. 43 And Peter stayed in (BR)Joppa many days with (BS)a tanner named Simon.
