Acts 26:9-23

9IG1473 verily thoughtG1380 withG4314 myselfG1683, thatG1380 IG1473 oughtG1163 toG4314 doG4238 manyG4183 thingsG4183 contraryG1727 toG4314 theG3588 nameG3686 ofG3686 JesusG2424 ofG3686 NazarethG3480.

10AndG2532 thisG3588 IG1473 alsoG2532 didG4160 inG1722 JerusalemG2414: andG2532 IG1473 bothG5037 shut upG2623 manyG4183 ofG1722 theG3588 saintsG40 inG1722 prisonsG5438, havingG4160 receivedG2983 authorityG1849 fromG3844 theG3588 chiefG749 priestsG749, andG2532 whenG2532 theyG846 were putG337 toG2532 deathG337, IG1473 gaveG4160 myG1722 voteG5586 againstG1722 themG846.

11AndG2532 punishing themG846 oftentimes inG1519 allG3956 theG3956 synagoguesG4864, IG2532 strove toG1519 make themG846 blasphemeG987; andG2532 being exceedingly mad againstG2596 themG846, IG2532 persecutedG1377 themG846 evenG2532 unto foreignG1854 citiesG4172.

12Whereupon asG1519 IG3739 journeyed toG1519 DamascusG1154 withG3326 theG3588 authorityG1849 andG2532 commissionG2011 ofG1722 theG3588 chiefG749 priestsG749,

13at midday, O kingG935, IG1473 sawG3708 onG5228 theG3588 wayG3598 a lightG5457 fromG2596 heavenG3771, aboveG5228 theG3588 brightness ofG2250 theG3588 sunG2246, shiningG4034 round aboutG5228 meG1473 andG2532 themG3708 thatG3708 journeyed withG4862 meG1473.

14AndG5037 whenG191 weG2249 were allG3956 fallenG2667 toG1519 theG3956 earthG1093, IG1473 heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 unto meG3004 inG1519 theG3956 HebrewG1446 languageG1258, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thou meG3004? itG191 is hardG4642 forG1519 thee toG1519 kick againstG4314 theG3956 goad.

15AndG1161 IG1473 saidG3004, WhoG3739 art thou, LordG2962? AndG1161 theG3588 LordG2962 saidG3004, IG1473 amG1510 JesusG2424 whomG3739 thou persecutest.

16ButG235 ariseG450, andG2532 standG2476 uponG1909 thy feetG4228: forG1063 toG1519 thisG3778 endG1519 have IG1473 appearedG3708 unto thee, toG1519 appointG4400 thee a ministerG5257 andG2532 a witnessG3144 bothG5037 ofG1909 theG3588 thingsG3778 wherein thou hast seenG3708 meG1473, andG2532 ofG1909 theG3588 thingsG3778 wherein IG1473 willG3739 appearG3708 unto thee;

17delivering thee fromG1537 theG3588 peopleG2992, andG2532 fromG1537 theG3588 GentilesG1484, unto whomG3739 IG1473 sendG649 thee,

18toG1519 openG455 theirG846 eyesG3788, thatG846 theyG846 mayG2532 turnG1994 fromG575 darknessG4655 toG1519 lightG5457, andG2532 fromG575 theG3588 powerG1849 ofG575 SatanG4567 unto GodG2316, thatG846 theyG846 mayG2532 receiveG2983 remission ofG575 sinsG266 andG2532 anG2532 inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 themG846 thatG846 are sanctifiedG37 byG1722 faithG4102 inG1722 meG1473.

19Wherefore, O kingG935 AgrippaG67, IG3606 was notG3756 disobedientG545 unto theG3588 heavenlyG3770 visionG3701:

20butG235 declaredG518 bothG5037 toG1909 themG1722 ofG2316 DamascusG1154 firstG4413, andG2532 at JerusalemG2414, andG2532 throughoutG1722 allG3956 theG3956 countryG5561 ofG2316 Judaea, andG2532 alsoG2532 toG1909 theG3956 GentilesG1484, thatG3956 theyG2532 shouldG2316 repentG3340 andG2532 turnG1994 toG1909 GodG2316, doingG4238 worksG2041 worthyG514 ofG2316 repentanceG3341.

21ForG1722 thisG3778 cause theG3588 JewsG2453 seizedG4815 meG1473 inG1722 theG3588 templeG2413, andG2453 assayed toG1722 kill meG1473.

22HavingG3767 thereforeG3767 obtainedG5177 theG3588 helpG1947 thatG3739 is fromG575 GodG2316, IG3739 standG2476 unto thisG3778 dayG2250 testifyingG3143 bothG5037 toG3004 smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173, sayingG3004 nothingG3762 butG2532 whatG3739 theG3588 prophetsG4396 andG2532 MosesG3475 didG1096 sayG3004 shouldG2316 comeG1096;

23how thatG3498 theG3588 ChristG5547 must sufferG3805, andG2532 how thatG3498 heG2532 firstG4413 byG1537 theG3588 resurrectionG386 ofG1537 theG3588 deadG3498 shouldG2532 proclaimG2605 lightG5457 bothG5037 toG3195 theG3588 peopleG2992 andG2532 toG3195 theG3588 GentilesG1484.
