AC-9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter



against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,



AC-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.



AC-9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly

there shined round about him a light from heaven:



AC-9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto
him,

Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?



AC-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.



AC-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.



AC-9:7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless,

hearing a voice, but seeing no man.



AC-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.



AC-9:9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat
nor

drink.



AC-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.





AC-9:11 And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go into the
street

which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for

[one] called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,



AC-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.



AC-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:



AC-9:14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to
bind

all that call on thy name.



AC-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:





AC-9:16 For I will show him how great things he must suffer for
my

name's sake.



AC-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.



AC-9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been

scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was

baptized.



AC-9:19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then

was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.



AC-9:20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues,
that

he is the Son of God.



AC-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?



AC-9:22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded
the

Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.



AC-9:23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took

counsel to kill him:



AC-9:24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they
watched

the gates day and night to kill him.



AC-9:25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let [him]
down by

the wall in a basket.



AC-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.



AC-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.



AC-9:28 And he was with them coming in and going out at
Jerusalem.



AC-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.



AC-9:30 [Which] when the brethren knew, they brought him down to

Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.



AC-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.



AC-9:32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all

[quarters], he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.



AC-9:33 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, which had

kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.



AC-9:34 And Peter said unto him, AEneas, Jesus Christ maketh
thee

whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.



AC-9:35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and
turned

to the Lord.





AC-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.



AC-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.



AC-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.



AC-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 showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made,
while

she was with them.



AC-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.



AC-9:41 And he gave her [his] hand, and lifted her up, and when
he

had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.



AC-9:42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many
believed in

the Lord.



AC-9:43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa

with one Simon a tanner.
