Acts 9

1But^G1161 Saul^G4569, yet^G2089 breathing^G1709 threatening^G547 and^G1161 slaughter^G5408 against^G1519 the disciples^G3101 of the Lord^G2962, went unto^G4334 the high priest^G749, 2and asked^G154 of^G3844 him^G846 letters^G1992 to^G1519 Damascus^G1154 unto^G4314 the synagogues^G4864, that^G3704 if^G1437 he found^G2147 any^G5100 that were^G5607 of the Way^G3598, whether^G5037 men^G435 or^G2532 women^G1135, he might bring^G71 them bound^G1210 to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419. 3And^G1161 as^G1722 he journeyed^G4198, it came^G1096 to pass that he^G846 drew^G1096 nigh^G1448 unto Damascus^G1154: and^G2532 suddenly^G1810 there shone round about^G4015 him^G846 a light^G5457 out of heaven^G3772: 4and^G2532 he fell^G4098 upon^G1909 the earth^G1093, and heard^G191 a voice^G5456 saying^G3004 unto him^G846, Saul^G4549, Saul^G4549, why^G5101 persecutest^G1377 thou me^G3165? 5And^G1161 he said^G2036, Who^G5101 art thou^G1488, Lord^G2962? And^G1161 he said^G2036, I^G1473 am^G1510 Jesus^G2424 whom^G3739 thou^G4771 persecutest^G1377: 6but rise^G450, and^G5037 enter into^G1519 the city^G4172, and^G2532 it shall be told^G2036 thee^G4671 what^G5101 thou^G2309 must^G1163 do^G4160. 7And^G1161 the men^G435 that^G3588 journeyed^G4922 with him^G846 stood^G2476 speechless^G1769, hearing^G191 the voice^G5456, but^G1161 beholding^G2334 no man^G3367. 8And^G1161 Saul^G4569 arose^G1453 from^G575 the earth^G1093; and when^G1161 his^G846 eyes^G3788 were opened^G455, he saw^G991 nothing^G3762; and^G1161 they led^G5496 him^G846 by the hand^G5496, and brought^G1521 him into^G1519 Damascus^G1154. 9And^G2532 he was^G2258 three^G5140 days^G2250 without^G3361 sight^G991, and^G2532 did neither^G3756 eat^G5315 nor^G3761 drink^G4095. 10Now^G1161 there was^G2258 a certain^G5100 disciple^G3101 at^G1722 Damascus^G1154, named^G3686 Ananias^G367; and^G2532 the Lord^G2962 said^G2036 unto^G4314 him^G846 in^G1722 a vision^G3705, Ananias^G367. And^G1161 he said^G2036, Behold^G2400, I^G1473 am here, Lord^G2962. 11And^G1161 the Lord^G2962 said unto^G4314 him^G846, Arise^G450, and go^G4198 to^G4314 the street^G4505 which^G3588 is called^G2564 Straight^G2117, and^G2532 inquire^G2212 in^G1722 the house^G3614 of Judas^G2455 for^G2212 one named^G3686 Saul^G4569, a man of Tarsus^G5018: for^G1063 behold^G2400, he prayeth^G4336; 12and^G2532 he hath seen^G1492 a man^G435 named^G3686 Ananias^G367 coming in^G1722, and^G2532 laying^G2007 his hands^G5495 on him^G846, that^G3704 he might receive his sight^G308. 13But^G1161 Ananias^G367 answered^G611, Lord^G2962, I have heard^G191 from^G575 many^G4183 of^G4012 this^G5127 man^G435, how much^G3745 evil^G2556 he did^G4160 to thy^G4675 saints^G40 at^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419: 14and^G2532 here^G5602 he hath^G2192 authority^G1849 from^G3844 the chief priests^G749 to bind^G1210 all^G3956 that call upon^G1941 thy^G4675 name^G3686. 15But^G1161 the Lord^G2962 said^G2036 unto^G4314 him^G846, Go thy way^G4198: for^G3754 he^G3778 is^G2076 a chosen^G1589 vessel^G4632 unto me^G3427, to bear^G941 my^G3450 name^G3686 before^G1799 the Gentiles^G1484 and^G2532 kings^G935, and^G5037 the children^G5207 of Israel^G2474: 16for^G1063 I^G1473 will show^G5263 him^G846 how many things^G3745 he^G846 must^G1163 suffer^G3958 for^G5228 my^G3450 name's sake^G3686. 17And^G1161 Ananias^G367 departed^G565, and^G2532 entered^G1525 into^G1519 the house^G3614; and^G2532 laying his^G2007 hands^G5495 on^G1909 him^G846 said^G2036, Brother^G80 Saul^G4549, the Lord^G2962, even Jesus^G2424, who^G3588 appeared^G3700 unto thee^G4671 in^G1722 the way^G3598 which^G3739 thou camest^G2064, hath sent^G649 me^G3165, that^G3704 thou mayest receive thy sight^G308, and^G2532 be filled^G4130 with the Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151. 18And^G2532 straightway^G2112 there fell^G634 from^G575 his^G846 eyes^G3788 as it were scales^G3013, and^G5037 he received his sight^G308; and^G2532 he arose^G450 and^G2532 was baptized^G907; 19and^G2532 he took food^G5160 and^G2532 was^G1096 strengthened^G1765. And he^G1161 was^G1096 certain^G5100 days^G2250 with^G3326 the disciples^G3101 that were^G3588 at^G1722 Damascus^G1154. 20And^G2532 straightway^G2112 in^G1722 the synagogues^G4864 he proclaimed^G2784 Jesus^G5547, that^G3754 he^G3778 is^G2076 the Son^G5207 of God^G2316. 21And^G1161 all^G3956 that^G3588 heard^G191 him were amazed^G1839, and^G2532 said^G3004, Is^G2076 not^G3756 this^G3778 he that^G3588 in^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419 made havoc^G4199 of them that^G3588 called on^G1941 this^G5124 name^G3686? and^G2532 he had come^G2064 hither^G5602 for^G1519 this intent^G5124, that^G2443 he might bring^G71 them^G846 bound^G1210 before^G1909 the chief priests^G749. 22But^G1161 Saul^G4569 increased^G1743 the more^G3123 in strength^G1743, and^G2532 confounded^G4797 the Jews^G2453 that^G3588 dwelt^G2730 at^G1722 Damascus^G1154, proving^G4822 that^G3754 this^G3778 is^G2076 the^G3588 Christ^G5547. 23And^G1161 when^G5613 many^G2425 days^G2250 were fulfilled^G4137, the Jews^G2453 took counsel^G4823 together to kill^G337 him^G846: 24but^G1161 their^G846 plot^G1917 became known^G1097 to Saul^G4569. And^G5037 they watched^G3906 the gates^G4439 also^G5037 day^G2250 and^G2532 night^G3571 that they might^G3704 kill^G337 him^G846: 25but^G1161 his disciples^G3101 took^G2983 him^G846 by night^G3571, and let^G2524 him down^G5465 through^G1223 the wall^G5038, lowering him in^G1722 a basket^G4711. 26And^G1161 when he^G4569 was come^G3854 to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419, he assayed^G3987 to join himself^G2853 to the disciples^G3101: and^G2532 they were^G5399 all^G3956 afraid^G5399 of him^G846, not^G3361 believing^G4100 that^G3754 he was^G2076 a disciple^G3101. 27But^G1161 Barnabas^G921 took^G1949 him^G846, and brought^G71 him to^G4314 the apostles^G652, and^G2532 declared^G1334 unto them^G846 how^G4459 he had seen^G1492 the Lord^G2962 in^G1722 the way^G3598, and^G2532 that^G3754 he had spoken to^G2980 him^G846, and^G2532 how^G4459 at^G1722 Damascus^G1154 he had preached boldly^G3955 in^G1722 the name^G3686 of Jesus^G2424. 28And^G2532 he was^G2258 with^G3326 them^G846 going in^G1531 and^G2532 going out^G1607 at^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419, 29preaching boldly^G3955 in^G1722 the name^G3686 of the Lord^G2962: and^G5037 he spake^G2980 and^G2532 disputed^G4802 against^G4314 the Grecian^G1675 Jews; but^G1161 they were seeking^G2021 to kill^G337 him^G846. 30And when^G1161 the brethren^G80 knew^G1921 it, they brought^G2609 him^G846 down^G2609 to^G1519 Caesarea^G2542, and^G2532 sent^G1821 him^G846 forth^G1821 to^G1519 Tarsus^G5019. 31So^G3767 the church^G1577 throughout^G2596 all^G3650 Judaea^G2449 and^G2532 Galilee^G1056 and^G2532 Samaria^G4540 had^G2192 peace^G1515, being edified^G3618; and^G2532, walking^G4198 in the fear^G5401 of the Lord^G2962 and^G2532 in the comfort^G3874 of the Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151, was multiplied^G3303. 32And^G1161 it came to pass^G1096, as Peter^G4074 went^G1330 throughout^G1223 all^G3956 parts, he came down^G2718 also^G2532 to^G4314 the saints^G40 that^G3588 dwelt^G2730 at Lydda^G3069. 33And^G1161 there^G1563 he found^G2147 a certain^G5100 man^G444 named^G3686 Aeneas^G132, who^G3739 had kept^G2621 his^G1909 bed^G2895 eight^G3638 years^G2094; for he was^G2258 palsied^G3886. 34And^G2532 Peter^G4074 said^G2036 unto him^G846, Aeneas^G132, Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 healeth^G2390 thee^G4571: arise^G450 and^G2532 make^G2390 thy^G4572 bed^G4766. And^G2532 straightway^G2112 he arose^G450. 35And^G2532 all^G3956 that^G3748 dwelt^G2730 at Lydda^G3069 and^G2532 in Sharon saw^G1492 him^G846, and^G2532 they turned^G1994 to^G1909 the Lord^G2962. 36Now^G1161 there was^G2258 at^G1722 Joppa^G2445 a certain^G5100 disciple^G3102 named^G3686 Tabitha^G5000, which^G3739 by interpretation^G1329 is called^G3004 Dorcas^G1393: this^G3778 woman^G846 was^G2258 full^G4134 of good^G18 works^G2041 and^G2532 almsdeeds^G1654 which^G3739 she did^G4160. 37And^G1161 it came to pass^G1096 in^G1722 those^G1565 days^G2250, that she^G846 fell sick^G770, and died^G599: and when they had washed^G3068 her^G846, they laid^G5087 her^G846 in^G1722 an upper chamber^G5253. 38And^G1161 as^G5607 Lydda^G3069 was nigh^G1451 unto Joppa^G2445, the^G191 disciples^G3101, hearing^G191 that^G3754 Peter^G4074 was^G2076 there^G846, sent^G649 two^G1417 men^G435 unto^G4314 him^G846, entreating^G3870 him^G3870, Delay^G3635 not^G3361 to^G3635 come^G1330 on unto^G2193 us^G846. 39And^G1161 Peter^G4074 arose^G450 and went^G4905 with them^G846. And when^G3739 he was come^G3854, they brought him^G321 into^G1519 the upper chamber^G5253: and^G2532 all^G3956 the widows^G5503 stood by^G3936 him^G846 weeping^G2799, and^G2532 showing^G1925 the coats^G5509 and^G2532 garments^G2440 which^G3745 Dorcas^G1393 made^G4160, while she was^G5607 with^G3326 them^G846. 40But^G1161 Peter^G4074 put them^G1544 all^G3956 forth^G5087, and kneeled down^G1119 and prayed^G4336; and^G2532 turning^G1994 to^G4314 the body^G4983, he said^G2036, Tabitha^G5000, arise^G450. And^G1161 she opened^G455 her^G846 eyes^G3788; and^G2532 when she saw^G1492 Peter^G4074, she sat up^G339. 41And^G1161 he gave^G1325 her^G846 his hand^G5495, and raised^G450 her^G846 up^G450; and^G1161 calling^G5455 the saints^G40 and^G2532 widows^G5503, he presented^G3936 her^G846 alive^G2198. 42And^G1161 it became^G1096 known^G1110 throughout^G2596 all^G3650 Joppa^G2445: and^G2532 many^G4183 believed^G4100 on^G1909 the Lord^G2962. 43And^G1161 it came to pass^G1096, that he^G846 abode^G3306 many^G2425 days^G2250 in^G1722 Joppa^G2445 with^G3844 one^G5100 Simon^G4613 a tanner^G1038.
