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.
