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.

⁴⁴ · kai It was eimi already ēdē only about hōsei the sixth hektos hour hōra but kai darkness skotos covered ginomai epi the whole holos · ho land gē until heōs the ninth enatos hour hōra, ⁴⁵ because the light of the ho sun hēlios had been eclipsed ekleipō.

⁵⁵ The ho women gynē who hostis had eimi come with synerchomai him autos from ek Galilee Galilaia followed along behind katakoloutheō · de · ho and saw theaomai the ho tomb mnēmeion, and kai how hōs his autos body sōma was laid tithēmi in it · ho ⁵⁶ Then de they returned hypostrephō and prepared hetoimazō anointing spices arōma and kai perfumes myron. · kai On the ho Sabbath sabbaton they rested hēsychazō according kata to the ho commandment entolē.
