1MenG435, brethrenG80, andG2532 fathersG3962, hear yeG191 myG3450 defenceG627which I makenowG3568 toG4314 youG5209. 2AndG1161 when they heardG191 thatG3754 he spokeG4377 to themG846 in the HebrewG1446 languageG1258, they keptG3930 the moreG3123 silenceG2271: andG2532 he saithG5346,)

3IG1473 amG1510 verilyG3303 a manG435 who is a JewG2453, bornG1080 inG1722 TarsusG5019, a city in CiliciaG2791, yetG1161 brought upG397 inG1722 thisG5026 cityG4172 atG3844 the feetG4228 of GamalielG1059, and taughtG3811 accordingG2596 to the perfect mannerG195 of the lawG3551 of the fathersG3971, beingG5225 zealousG2207 toward GodG2316, asG2531 yeG5210 allG3956 areG2075 this dayG4594. 4And IG3739 persecutedG1377 thisG5026 wayG3598 toG891 the deathG2288, bindingG1195 andG2532 deliveringG3860 intoG1519 prisonsG5438 bothG5037 menG435 andG2532 womenG1135. 5AsG5613 alsoG2532 the high priestG749 doth bearG3140 meG3427 witnessG3140, andG2532 allG3956 the council of the eldersG4244: fromG3844 whomG3739 alsoG2532 I receivedG1209 lettersG1992 toG4314 the brethrenG80, andG2532 wentG4198 toG1519 DamascusG1154, to bringG71 them who wereG5607 thereG1566 boundG1210 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, toG2443 be punishedG5097. 6AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that, as I was onG4198 myG3427 journeyG4198, andG2532 had come nearG1448 to DamascusG1154 aboutG4012 noonG3314, suddenlyG1810 there shoneG4015 fromG1537 heavenG3772 a greatG2425 lightG5457 aroundG4015G4012 meG1691. 7AndG5037 I fellG4098 toG1519 the groundG1475, andG2532 heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 to meG3427, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thouG1377 meG3165? 8AndG1161 IG1473 answeredG611, WhoG5101 art thouG1488, LordG2962? AndG5037 he saidG2036 toG4314 meG3165, IG1473 amG1510 JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480, whomG3739 thouG4771 persecutestG1377. 9AndG1161 they that wereG5607 withG4862 meG1698 sawG2300 indeedG3303 the lightG5457, andG2532 wereG1096 afraidG1719; butG1161 they heardG191 notG3756 the voiceG5456 of him that spokeG2980 to meG3427. 10AndG1161 I saidG2036, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, LordG2962? AndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036 toG4314 meG3165, AriseG450, and goG4198 intoG1519 DamascusG1154; and thereG2546 it shall be toldG2980 theeG4671 concerningG4012 all thingsG3956 whichG3739 are appointedG5021 for theeG4671 to doG4160. 11AndG1161 whenG5613 I couldG1689 notG3756 seeG1689 forG575 the gloryG1391 of thatG1565 lightG5457, being led by the handG5496 ofG5259 them that wereG4895 with meG3427, I cameG2064 intoG1519 DamascusG1154. 12AndG1161 oneG5100 AnaniasG367, a devoutG2152 manG435 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551, having a good reportG3140 ofG5259 allG3956 the JewsG2453 who dweltG2730 there, 13CameG2064 toG4314 meG3165, andG2532 stoodG2186, and saidG2036 to meG3427, BrotherG80 SaulG4549, receive thy sightG308. AndG2504 the sameG846 hourG5610 IG2504 looked upG308 uponG1519 himG846. 14AndG1161 he saidG2036, The GodG2316 of ourG2257 fathersG3962 hath chosenG4400 theeG4571, that thou shouldest knowG1097 hisG846 willG2307, andG2532 seeG1492 that Just OneG1342, andG2532 shouldest hearG191 the voiceG5456 ofG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750. 15ForG3754 thou shalt beG2071 hisG846 witnessG3144 toG4314 allG3956 menG444 of whatG3739 thou hast seenG3708 andG2532 heardG191. 16AndG2532 nowG3568 whyG5101 tarriest thouG3195? ariseG450, and be baptizedG907, andG2532 wash awayG628 thyG4675 sinsG266, calling onG1941 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962. 17AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that, when IG3427 had come againG5290 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, evenG2532 while IG3450 prayedG4336 inG1722 the templeG2411, IG3165 wasG1096 inG1722 a tranceG1611; 18AndG2532 sawG1492 himG846 sayingG3004 to meG3427, Make hasteG4692, andG2532 departG1831 quicklyG5034G1722 fromG1537 JerusalemG2419: forG1360 they willG3858 notG3756 receiveG3858 thyG4675 testimonyG3141 concerningG4012 meG1700. 19And IG2504 saidG2036, LordG2962, theyG846 knowG1987 thatG3754 IG1473 imprisonedG2252G5439 andG2532 beatG1194 in everyG2596 synagogueG4864 them that believedG4100 onG1909 theeG4571: 20AndG2532 whenG3753 the bloodG129 of thyG4675 martyrG3144 StephenG4736 was shedG1632, IG846 alsoG2532 wasG2252 standing byG2186, andG2532 consentingG4909 to hisG846 deathG336, andG2532 keptG5442 the raimentG2440 of them that slewG337 himG846. 21AndG2532 he saidG2036 toG4314 meG3165, DepartG4198: forG3754 IG1473 will sendG1821 theeG4571 far awayG3112 toG1519 the GentilesG1484.

22AndG1161 they hearkenedG191 to himG846 untilG891 thisG5127 wordG3056, andG2532 then lifted upG1869 theirG846 voicesG5456, and saidG3004, Away withG142 suchG5108 a fellow fromG575 the earthG1093: forG1063 it isG2520 notG3756 fitG2520 that heG846 should liveG2198. 23AndG1161 as theyG846 cried outG2905, andG2532 cast offG4495 their clothesG2440, andG2532 threwG906 dustG2868 intoG1519 the airG109, 24The chief captainG5506 commandedG2753 himG846 to be broughtG71 intoG1519 the barracksG3925, and badeG2036 that heG846 should be examinedG426 by scourgingG3148; thatG2443 he might knowG1921 forG1223 whatG3739 causeG156 they criedG2019 soG3779 againstG2019 himG846. 25AndG1161 asG5613 they boundG4385 himG846 with thongsG2438, PaulG3972 saidG2036 toG4314 the centurionG1543 that stood byG2476, Is it lawfulG1487G1832 for youG5213 to scourgeG3147 a manG444 that is a RomanG4514, andG2532 uncondemnedG178? 26WhenG1161 the centurionG1543 heardG191 that, he wentG4334 and toldG518 the chief captainG5506, sayingG3004, Take heedG3708 whatG5101 thou doestG3195G4160: forG1063 thisG3778 manG444 isG2076 a RomanG4514. 27ThenG1161 the chief captainG5506 cameG4334, and saidG2036 to himG846, TellG3004 meG3427, artG1488 thouG4771 a RomanG4514? He saidG5346, YeaG3483. 28AndG5037 the chief captainG5506 answeredG611, With a greatG4183 sumG2774 IG1473 obtainedG2932 thisG5026 freedomG4174. AndG1161 PaulG3972 saidG5346, ButG1161 IG1473G2532 was free bornG1080. 29ThenG3767 immediatelyG2112 they departedG868 fromG575 himG846 whoG3588 were about toG3195 examineG426 himG846: andG1161 the chief captainG5506 alsoG2532 was afraidG5399, after he knewG1921 thatG3754 he wasG2076 a RomanG4514, andG2532 becauseG3754 he hadG2258 boundG1210 himG846.1 30On the next dayG1887, because he wouldG1014 have knownG1097 the certaintyG804 whyG5101 he was accusedG2723 byG3844 the JewsG2453, he loosedG3089 himG846 fromG575 his bandsG1199, andG2532 commandedG2753 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 allG3650 theirG846 councilG4892 to appearG2064, andG2532 broughtG2609 PaulG3972 downG2609, and set himG2476 beforeG1519 themG846.
