Acts 22:3-16

3I amG1510 a JewG2453, bornG1080 in TarsusG5019 of CiliciaG2791, but brought up in this cityG4172, at the feetG4228 of GamalielG1059, instructed accordingG2596 to the strict manner of the lawG3551 of our fathersG3971, beingG1510 zealousG2207 for GodG2316, even as ye all areG1510 this dayG4594: 4and I persecutedG1377 this WayG3598 unto the deathG2288, binding and deliveringG3860 into prisonsG5438 both menG435 and womenG1135. 5As alsoG2532 the highG749 priestG749 doth bearG3140 me witnessG3140, and all the estate of the elders: from whom alsoG2532 I receivedG1209 lettersG1992 unto the brethren, and journeyed to DamascusG1154 to bringG71 them alsoG2532 that wereG1510 there unto JerusalemG2419 in bonds to beG1510 punished. 6And it cameG1096 to passG1096, that, as I made my journeyG4198, and drew nigh unto DamascusG1154, about noon, suddenlyG1810 there shone from heavenG3772 a great lightG5457 round about me. 7And I fellG4098 unto the ground, and heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 unto me, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thou me? 8And I answeredG611, Who art thou, LordG2962? And he saidG3004 unto me, I amG1510 JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480, whom thou persecutest. 9And they that wereG1510 with me beheld indeedG3303 the lightG5457, but they heardG191 not the voiceG5456 of him that spake to me. 10And I saidG3004, What shall I do, LordG2962? And the LordG2962 saidG3004 unto me, AriseG450, and goG4198 into DamascusG1154; and there it shall be toldG3004 thee of all thingsG3956 which are appointed for thee to do. 11And whenG5613 I could not seeG1689 for the gloryG1391 of that lightG5457, being led by the hand of them that were with me I cameG2064 into DamascusG1154. 12And oneG5100 AnaniasG367, a devoutG2126 manG435 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551, wellG3140 reported of by all the JewsG2453 that dwelt there, 13cameG2064 unto me, and standing by me saidG3004 unto me, BrotherG80 SaulG4549, receiveG308 thy sightG308. And in that very hourG5610 I lookedG308 up on him. 14And he saidG3004, The GodG2316 of our fathersG3962 hath appointedG4400 thee to knowG1097 his will, and to seeG3708 the RighteousG1342 OneG3588, and to hearG191 a voiceG5456 from his mouthG4750. 15For thou shalt beG1510 a witnessG3144 for him unto all menG444 of what thou hast seenG3708 and heardG191. 16And nowG3568 whyG5101 tarriest thou? ariseG450, and be baptizedG907, and wash awayG630 thy sinsG266, callingG1941 on his nameG3686.
