Acts 26:9-18

9IG1473 verilyG3767 thoughtG1380 with myselfG1683, that I oughtG1163 to doG4238 many thingsG4183 contraryG1727 toG4314 the nameG3588G3686 of JesusG2424 of NazarethG3588G3480.

10Which thingG3739 IG4160 alsoG2532 didG4160 inG1722 JerusalemG2414: andG2532 manyG4183 of the saintsG40 didG2623 IG1473 shut upG2623 in prisonG5438, having receivedG2983 authorityG1849 fromG3844 the chief priestsG3588G749; andG5037 when theyG846 were put to deathG337, I gaveG2702 my voiceG5586 againstG2702 them.

11AndG2532 I punishedG5097 themG846 oftG4178 inG2596 everyG3956 synagogueG3588G4864, and compelledG315 them to blasphemeG987; andG5037 beingG1693 exceedinglyG4057 madG1693 against themG846, I persecutedG1377 them evenG2193 untoG1519 strangeG1854 citiesG3588G4172.

12WhereuponG3739 asG2532 I wentG4198 toG1519 DamascusG3588G1154 withG3326 authorityG1849 andG2532 commissionG2011 fromG3844 the chief priestsG3588G749,

13At middayG2250G3319, O kingG935, I sawG3708 inG2596 the wayG3588G3598 a lightG5457 from heavenG3771, aboveG5228 the brightnessG3588G2987 of the sunG3588G2246, shining round aboutG4034 meG1473 andG2532 themG3588 which journeyedG4198 withG4862 meG1473.

14AndG1161 when weG1473 were allG3956 fallenG2667 toG1519 the earthG3588G1093, I heardG191 a voiceG5456 speakingG2980 untoG4314 meG1473, andG2532 sayingG3004 in the HebrewG3588G1446 tongueG1258, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutestG1377 thou meG1473? it is hardG4642 for theeG4771 to kickG2979 againstG4314 the pricksG2759.

15AndG1161 IG1473 saidG3004, WhoG5101 art thouG1510, LordG2962? AndG1161 he saidG3004, IG1473 amG1510 JesusG2424 whomG3739 thouG4771 persecutestG1377.

16ButG235 riseG450, andG2532 standG2476 uponG1909 thyG4771 feetG3588G4228: forG1063 I have appearedG3708 unto theeG4771 forG1519 this purposeG3778, to makeG4400 theeG4771 a ministerG5257 andG2532 a witnessG3144 bothG5037 of these things whichG3739 thou hast seenG3708, andG5037 of those things in the whichG3739 I will appearG3708 unto theeG4771;

17DeliveringG1807 theeG4771 fromG1537 the peopleG3588G2992, andG2532 from the GentilesG3588G1484, untoG1519 whomG3739 nowG3568 I sendG649 theeG4771,

18To openG455 theirG846 eyesG3788, and to turnG1994 them fromG575 darknessG4655 toG1519 lightG5457, andG2532 from the powerG3588G1849 of SatanG3588G4567 untoG1909 GodG3588G2316, thatG3588 theyG846 may receiveG2983 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 them whichG3588 are sanctifiedG37 by faithG4102 that is inG1519 meG1473.
