Now
Saul,
still
breathing
threats
and murder
against
the disciples
of the Lord,
went
to the high priest,
2
and asked
for letters
from him to the synagogues
at Damascus,
so
that if
he found
any
belonging
to the Way,
both
men
and wo
men
,
he might bring
them bound
to Jerusalem.
3
As he was traveling,
it happened
that he was approaching
Damascus,
and suddenly
a light
from heaven
flashed around
him;
4
and 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 it will be told
you what
you must
do."
7
The men
who traveled
with him stood
speechless,
hearing
the voice
but seeing
no one.
8
Saul
got
up from the ground,
and though his eyes
were open,
he could see
nothing;
and leading him by the hand,
they brought
him into Damascus.
9
And he was three
days
without
sight,
and neither
ate
nor
drank.
10
Now
there was a disciple
at Damascus
named
Ananias;
and the Lord
said
to him in 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 Tarsus
named
Saul,
for he is praying,
12
and he has seen
in a vision
a man
named
Ananias
come
in and lay
his hands
on him, so
that he might regain his sight."
13
But Ananias
answered,
"Lord,
I have heard
from many
about
this
man,
how much
harm
he did
to Your saints
at Jerusalem;
14
and here
he has
authority
from the chief priests
to bind
all
who c
all
on Your name."
15
But the Lord
said
to him, "Go,
for he is a chosen
instrument
of Mine,
to bear
My name
before
the Gentiles
and kings
and the sons
of Israel;
16
for I will show
him how much
he must
suffer
for My name's
sake."
17
So
Ananias
departed
and entered
the house,
and after laying
his hands
on him said,
"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 filled
with the Holy
Spirit."
18
And immediately
there fell
from his eyes
something like
scales,
and he regained his sight,
and he got
up and was baptized;
19
and he took
food
and was strengthened.
Now
for several
days
he was with the disciples
who were at Damascus,
20
and immediately
he began to proclaim
Jesus
in the synagogues,
saying,
"He is the Son
of God."
21
All
those
hearing
him continued to be amazed,
and were saying,
"Is this
not he who in Jerusalem
destroyed
those
who called
on this
name,
and who had come
here
for the purpose of bringing
them bound
before
the chief priests?"
22
But Saul
kept increasing in strength
and confounding
the Jews
who lived
at Damascus
by proving
that this
Jesus is the Christ.
23
When
many
days
had elapsed,
the Jews
plotted together
to do away
with him,
24
but their plot
became known
to Saul.
They were also
watching
the gates
day
and night
so
that they might put him to death;
25
but his disciples
took
him by night
and let him down
through
an opening in the wall,
lowering
him in a large basket.
26
When he came
to Jerusalem,
he was trying
to associate
with the disciples;
but they were all
afraid
of him, not believing
that he was a disciple.
27
But Barnabas
took hold
of him and brought
him to the apostles
and described
to them how
he had seen
the Lord
on the road,
and that He had talked
to him, and how
at Damascus
he had spoken out boldly
in the name
of Jesus.
28
And he was with them, moving
about
freely
in Jerusalem,
speaking out boldly
in the name
of the Lord.
29
And he was talking
and arguing
with the Hellenistic
Jews; but they were attempting
to put him to death.
30
But when the brethren
learned
of it, they brought him down
to Caesarea
and sent him away
to Tarsus.
31
So
the church
throughout
all
Judea
and Galilee
and Samaria
enjoyed
peace,
being built
up; and going
on in the fear
of the Lord
and in the comfort
of the Holy
Spirit,
it continued to increase.
32
Now
as Peter
was traveling through
all
those regions, he came down
also
to the saints
who lived
at Lydda.
33
There
he found
a man
named
Aeneas,
who had been bedridden
eight
years,
for he was paralyzed.
34
Peter
said
to him, "Aeneas,
Jesus
Christ
heals
you; get
up and make your bed."
Immediately
he got
up.
35
And all
who lived
at Lydda
and Sharon
saw
him, and they turned
to the Lord.
36
Now
in Joppa
there was a disciple
named
Tabitha
(
which
translated
in Greek is called
Dorcas);
this woman
was abounding
with deeds
of kindness
and charity
which
she continually did.
37
And it happened
at that time
that she fell sick
and died;
and when they had washed
her body, they laid
it in an upper room.
38
Since Lydda
was near
Joppa,
the disciples,
having heard
that Peter
was there,
sent
two
men
to him, imploring
him, "Do not delay
in coming
to us."
39
So
Peter
arose
and went
with them. When he arrived,
they brought
him into the upper room;
and
all
the widows
stood beside
him, weeping
and showing
all
the tunics
and garments
that Dorcas
used to make
while
she was with them.
40
But Peter
sent
them all
out and knelt
down
and prayed,
and turning
to the body,
he said,
"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
the saints
and widows,
he presented
her alive.
42
It became
known
all
over
Joppa,
and many
believed
in the Lord.
43
And Peter stayed
many
days
in Joppa
with a tanner
named Simon.
