Acts 9:22-43

22But SaulG4569 increased the moreG3123 in strength, and confounded the JewsG2453 that dwelt at DamascusG1154, proving that this isG1510 the ChristG5547.

23And whenG5613 manyG2425 daysG2250 were fulfilled, the JewsG2453 took counsel togetherG4823 to kill him: 24but their plotG1917 became knownG1097 to SaulG4569. And they watchedG3906 the gatesG4439 alsoG2532 dayG2250 and nightG3571 that they might kill him: 25but his disciplesG3101 tookG2983 him by nightG3571, and let him downG5465 through the wallG5038, lowering him in a basketG4711.

26And when he wasG1510 come to JerusalemG2419, he assayed to joinG2853 himself to the disciplesG3101: and they wereG1510 all afraidG5399 of him, not believingG4100 that he wasG1510 a discipleG3101. 27But BarnabasG921 took him, and broughtG71 him to the apostlesG652, and declared unto them howG4459 he had seenG3708 the LordG2962 in the wayG3598, and that he had spokenG2980 to him, and howG4459 at DamascusG1154 he had preached boldlyG3955 in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424. 28And he wasG1510 with them goingG1607 in and goingG1607 out at JerusalemG2419, 29preaching boldly in the name of the Lord: and he spake and disputed against the Grecian Jews; but they were seeking to kill him. 30And when the brethren knewG1921 it, they broughtG2609 him downG2609 to Cæsarea, and sent him forthG1821 to TarsusG5019.

31So the churchG1577 throughout all Judæa and GalileeG1056 and SamariaG4540 had peaceG1515, being edifiedG3618; and, walkingG4198 in the fearG5401 of the LordG2962 and in the comfortG3874 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, was multipliedG4129.

32And it cameG1096 to passG1330, as PeterG4074 wentG1330 throughout all parts, he cameG1096 downG2718 alsoG2532 to the saintsG40 that dwelt at LyddaG3069. 33And there he foundG2147 a certainG5100 manG444 namedG3686 AeneasG132, who had kept his bed eightG3638 yearsG2094; for he wasG1510 palsied. 34And PeterG4074 saidG3004 unto him, AeneasG132, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 healeth thee: ariseG450, and make thy bed. And straightway he aroseG450. 35And all that dwelt at LyddaG3069 and in Sharon sawG3708 him, and they turnedG1994 to the LordG2962.

36NowG1161 there wasG1510 at JoppaG2445 a certainG5100 disciple namedG3686 TabithaG5000, which by interpretation isG1510 called DorcasG1393: this woman wasG1510 fullG4134 of goodG18 worksG2041 and almsdeeds which she did. 37And it cameG1096 to passG1096 in those daysG2250, that she fell sickG770, and diedG599: and when they had washedG3068 her, they laidG5087 her in an upperG5253 chamber. 38And as LyddaG3069 wasG1510 nigh unto JoppaG2445, the disciplesG3101, hearingG191 that PeterG4074 wasG1510 there, sentG649 twoG1417 menG435 unto him, entreating him, Delay not to come on unto us. 39And PeterG4074 aroseG450 and went with them. And when he wasG1510 come, they broughtG321 him into the upperG5253 chamber: and all the widowsG5503 stoodG450 by him weepingG2799, and showingG1925 the coats and garmentsG2440 which DorcasG1393 madeG4160, while she wasG1510 with them. 40But PeterG4074 putG5087 them all forth, and kneeled downG5087, and prayedG4336; and turningG1994 to the bodyG4983, he saidG3004, TabithaG5000, ariseG450. And she openedG455 her eyesG3788; and when she sawG3708 PeterG4074, she sat up. 41And he gaveG1325 her his handG5495, and raisedG450 her up; and callingG5455 the saintsG40 and widowsG5503, he presentedG3936 her aliveG2198. 42And it becameG1096 known throughout all JoppaG2445: and manyG4183 believedG4100 on the LordG2962. 43And it cameG1096 to passG1096, that he abode manyG2425 daysG2250 in JoppaG2445 with oneG5100 SimonG4613 a tannerG1038.
