Revised Literal Translation
1AndG1161 SaulG4569, yetG2089 breathing outG1709 threateningsG547 andG2532 slaughterG5408 againstG1519 the disciplesG3588G3101 of the LordG3588G2962, went untoG4334 the high priestG3588G749, 2And desiredG154 ofG3844 himG846 lettersG1992 toG1519 DamascusG1154 toG4314 the synagoguesG3588G4864, thatG3704 ifG1437 he foundG2147 anyG5100 of this wayG3588G3598, whetherG5037 they wereG1510 menG435 orG2532 womenG1135, he might bringG71 them boundG1210 untoG1519 JerusalemG2419. 3AndG1161 asG1722 he journeyedG4198, heG846 cameG1096 nearG1448 DamascusG3588G1154: andG2532 suddenlyG1810 there shined round aboutG4015 himG846 a lightG5457 fromG575 heavenG3588G3772: 4AndG2532 he fellG4098 toG1909 the earthG3588G1093, and heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 unto himG846, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thouG1377 meG1473? 5AndG1161 he saidG3004, WhoG5101 art thouG1510, LordG2962? AndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG3004, IG1473 amG1510 JesusG2424 whomG3739 thouG4771 persecutestG1377: it is hardG4642 for theeG4771 to kickG2979 againstG4314 the pricksG2759. 6AndG5037 he tremblingG5141 andG2532 astonishedG2284 saidG3004, LordG2962, whatG5101 wilt thouG2309 haveG4160 meG1473 to doG4160? AndG2532 the LordG3588G2962 said untoG4314 himG846, AriseG450, andG2532 goG1525 intoG1519 the cityG3588G4172, andG2532 it shall be toldG2980 theeG4771 whatG5101 thouG4771 mustG1163 doG4160. 7AndG1161 the menG435 whichG3588 journeyedG4922 with himG846 stoodG2476 speechlessG1769, hearingG191 a voiceG3588G5456, butG1161 seeingG2334 no manG3367. 8AndG1161 SaulG3588G4569 aroseG1453 fromG575 the earthG3588G1093; and whenG1161 hisG846 eyesG3588G3788 were openedG455, he sawG991 no manG3762: butG1161 they ledG5496 himG846 by the handG5496, and broughtG1521 him intoG1519 DamascusG1154. 9AndG2532 he wasG1510 threeG5140 daysG2250 withoutG3361 sightG991, andG2532 neitherG3756 did eatG5315 norG3761 drinkG4095. 10
AndG1161 there wasG1510 a certainG5100 discipleG3101 atG1722 DamascusG1154, namedG3686 AnaniasG367; andG2532 toG4314 himG846 saidG3004 the LordG3588G2962 inG1722 a visionG3705, AnaniasG367. AndG1161 he saidG3004, BeholdG3708, IG1473 am here, LordG2962. 11AndG1161 the LordG2962 said untoG4314 himG846, AriseG450, and goG4198 intoG1909 the streetG3588G4505 whichG3588 is calledG2564 StraightG2117, andG2532 enquireG2212 inG1722 the houseG3614 of JudasG2455 forG2212 one calledG3686 SaulG4569, of TarsusG5018: forG1063, beholdG3708, he prayethG4336, 12AndG2532 hath seenG3708 inG1722 a visionG3705 a manG435 namedG3686 AnaniasG367 coming inG1525, andG2532 puttingG2007 his handG5495 on himG846, thatG3704 he might receive his sightG308. 13ThenG1161 AnaniasG3588G367 answeredG611, LordG2962, I have heardG191 byG575 manyG4183 ofG4012 thisG3778 manG3588G435, how muchG3745 evilG2556 he hath doneG4160 to thyG4771 saintsG40 atG1722 JerusalemG2419: 14AndG2532 hereG5602 he hathG2192 authorityG1849 fromG3844 the chief priestsG3588G749 to bindG1210 allG3956 that call onG1941 thyG4771 nameG3588G3686. 15ButG1161 the LordG3588G2962 saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, Go thy wayG4198: forG3754 heG3778 isG1510 a chosenG1589 vesselG4632 unto meG1473, to bearG941 myG1473 nameG3588G3686 beforeG1799 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 kingsG935, andG5037 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474: 16ForG1063 IG1473 will shewG5263 himG846 how great thingsG3745 heG846 mustG1163 sufferG3958 forG5228 myG1473 name’s sakeG3588G3686. 17AndG1161 AnaniasG367 went his wayG565, andG2532 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the houseG3588G3614; andG2532 putting hisG2007 handsG3588G5495 onG1909 himG846 saidG3004, BrotherG80 SaulG4549, the LordG3588G2962, even JesusG2424, thatG3588 appearedG3708 unto theeG4771 inG1722 the wayG3588G3598 asG3739 thou camestG2064, hath sentG649 meG1473, thatG3704 thou mightest receive thy sightG308, andG2532 be filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151. 18AndG2532 immediatelyG2112 there fellG634 fromG575 hisG846 eyesG3588G3788 as it had beenG5616 scalesG3013: andG5037 he received sightG308 forthwithG3916, andG2532 aroseG450, and was baptizedG907. 19AndG2532 when he had receivedG2983 meatG5160, he was strengthenedG1765. ThenG1161 wasG1096 SaulG3588G4569 certainG5100 daysG2250 withG3326 the disciplesG3101 which wereG3588 atG1722 DamascusG1154. 20AndG2532 straightwayG2112 he preachedG2784 ChristG3588G5547 inG1722 the synagoguesG3588G4864, thatG3754 heG3778 isG1510 the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316. 21ButG1161 allG3956 thatG3588 heardG191 him were amazedG1839, andG2532 saidG3004; IsG1510 notG3756 thisG3778 he thatG3588 destroyedG4199 them whichG3588 called onG1941 thisG3778 nameG3588G3686 inG1722 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 cameG2064 hitherG5602 forG1519 that intentG3778, thatG2443 he might bringG71 themG846 boundG1210 untoG1909 the chief priestsG3588G749? 22ButG1161 SaulG4569 increasedG1743 the moreG3123 in strengthG1743, andG2532 confoundedG4797 the JewsG2453 whichG3588 dweltG2730 atG1722 DamascusG1154, provingG4822 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG1510 veryG3588 ChristG5547. 23
AndG1161 after thatG5613 manyG2425 daysG2250 were fulfilledG4137, the JewsG2453 took counselG4823 to killG337 himG846: 24ButG1161 theirG846 laying awaitG3588G1917 was knownG1097 of SaulG3588G4569. AndG5037 they watchedG3906 the gatesG3588G4439 dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571 toG3704 killG337 himG846. 25ThenG1161 the disciplesG3588G3101 tookG2983 himG846 by nightG3571, and letG2524 him downG5465 byG1223 the wallG3588G5038 inG1722 a basketG4711. 26AndG1161 when SaulG3588G4569 was comeG3854 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, he assayedG3987 to join himselfG2853 to the disciplesG3588G3101: butG2532 they wereG5399 allG3956 afraidG5399 of himG846, and believedG4100 notG3361 thatG3754 he wasG1510 a discipleG3101. 27ButG1161 BarnabasG921 tookG1949 himG846, and broughtG71 him toG4314 the apostlesG3588G652, andG2532 declaredG1334 unto themG846 howG4459 he had seenG3708 the LordG3588G2962 inG1722 the wayG3588G3598, andG2532 thatG3754 he had spoken toG2980 himG846, andG2532 howG4459 he had preached boldlyG3955 atG1722 DamascusG1154 inG1722 the nameG3588G3686 of JesusG3588G2424. 28AndG2532 he wasG1510 withG3326 themG846 coming inG1531 andG2532 going outG1607 atG1722 JerusalemG2419. 29AndG2532 he spake boldlyG3955 inG1722 the nameG3588G3686 of the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424, andG5037 disputedG4802 againstG4314 the GreciansG3588G1675: butG1161 they went aboutG2021 to slayG337 himG846. 30Which whenG1161 the brethrenG3588G80 knewG1921, they broughtG2609 himG846 downG2609 toG1519 CæsareaG2542, andG2532 sentG1821 himG846 forthG1821 toG1519 TarsusG5019. 31ThenG3767 hadG2192 the AssembliesG1577 restG1515 throughoutG2596 allG3650 JudæaG3588G2449 andG2532 GalileeG1056 andG2532 SamariaG4540, and were edifiedG3618; andG2532 walkingG4198 in the fearG3588G5401 of the LordG3588G2962, andG2532 in the comfortG3588G3874 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, were multipliedG4129. 32
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, as PeterG4074 passedG1330 throughoutG1223 allG3956 quarters, he came downG2718 alsoG2532 toG4314 the saintsG40 whichG3588 dweltG2730 at LyddaG3069. 33AndG1161 thereG1563 he foundG2147 a certainG5100 manG444 namedG3686 ÆneasG132, whichG3739 had kept hisG2621 bedG2895 eightG3638 yearsG2094, and wasG1510 sick of the palsyG3886. 34AndG2532 PeterG3588G4074 saidG3004 unto himG846, ÆneasG132, JesusG2424 ChristG3588G5547 makethG2390 theeG4771 wholeG2390: ariseG450, andG2532 makeG4766 thyG4572 bedG4766. AndG2532 he aroseG450 immediatelyG2112. 35AndG2532 allG3956 thatG3748 dweltG3588G2730 at LyddaG3069 andG2532 SaronG3588G4565 sawG3708 himG846, and turnedG1994 toG1909 the LordG3588G2962.
36NowG1161 there wasG1510 atG1722 JoppaG2445 a certainG5100 discipleG3102 namedG3686 TabithaG5000, whichG3739 by interpretationG1329 is calledG3004 DorcasG1393: this womanG3778 wasG1510 fullG4134 of goodG18 worksG2041 andG2532 almsdeedsG1654 whichG3739 she didG4160. 37AndG1161 it came to passG1096 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG3588G2250, that sheG846 was sickG770, and diedG599: whomG1161 when they had washedG3068, theyG846 laidG5087 her inG1722 an upper chamberG5253. 38AndG1161 forasmuch asG1510 LyddaG3069 was nighG1451 to JoppaG3588G2445, andG191 the disciplesG3588G3101 had heardG191 thatG3754 PeterG4074 wasG1510 thereG846, they sentG649 untoG4314 himG846 twoG1417 menG435, desiringG3870 him thatG3870 he wouldG3635 notG3361 delayG3635 to comeG1330 toG2193 themG846. 39ThenG1161 PeterG4074 aroseG450 and wentG4905 with themG846. WhenG3739 he was comeG3854, they brought himG321 intoG1519 the upper chamberG3588G5253: andG2532 allG3956 the widowsG3588G5503 stood byG3936 himG846 weepingG2799, andG2532 shewingG1925 the coatsG5509 andG2532 garmentsG2440 whichG3745 DorcasG3588G1393 madeG4160, while she wasG1510 withG3326 themG846. 40ButG1161 PeterG3588G4074 put themG1544 allG3956 forthG1854, and kneeled downG3588G1119, and prayedG4336; andG2532 turningG1994 him toG4314 the bodyG3588G4983 saidG3004, TabithaG5000, ariseG450. AndG1161 she openedG455 herG846 eyesG3588G3788: andG2532 when she sawG3708 PeterG3588G4074, she sat upG339. 41AndG1161 he gaveG1325 herG846 his handG5495, and liftedG450 herG846 upG450, andG1161 when he had calledG5455 the saintsG40 andG2532 widowsG3588G5503, presentedG3936 herG846 aliveG2198. 42AndG1161 it wasG1096 knownG1110 throughoutG2596 allG3650 JoppaG3588G2445; andG2532 manyG4183 believedG4100 inG1909 the LordG3588G2962. 43AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that heG846 tarriedG3306 manyG2425 daysG2250 inG1722 JoppaG2445 withG3844 oneG5100 SimonG4613 a tannerG1038.
