Acts 9:22-43
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.
