9:1
But Saul still breathing threatening and murder against the disciples of the
Lord approaching to the high priest asked from him letters to Damascus for
the synagogue, so a if any he found of the way being, both men and women,
having been bound he might bring them to Jerusalem. 3 In now as he went to
go it came to pass him to draw near to Damascus, and suddenly him shone round a light out of heaven, 4 and falling on
the earth he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why me persecutes
thou? 5 And he said: Who art thou, Lord? And he said I am Jesus whom thou
persecutes; 6 but rise thou up, and enter into the city, and it shall be
told thee what thee it behoves to do. Now the men
journeying with him stood speechless, hearing indeed the sound, but no man
beholding. 8 And was raised Saul from the ground and having been opened the
eyes of him nothing he saw; and leading by the hand him they brought into Damascus. 9 and he
was days three not seeing, and ate not nor drank. 10 Now there was a
certain disciple in Damascus by name Ananias,
and said to him in a vision the Lord: Ananias,
And he said: Behold I Lord, 11 and the Lord said to him: Rising up go thou
to the street being called Straight and seek in the hose of Judas Saul
by name a Tarsian; for behold he is praying. 12
and saw a man in a vision Ananias by name coming
in and putting on him hands, so as he may see again. 13 And answered Ananias, Lord, I heard from many about this man, how
many evil things to the saints of thee he did in Jerusalem? 14 and here he has
authority from the chief priests to bind all the ones invoking the
name of thee. 15 said But to him the Lord: Go thou because a vessel of
choice is to me this man to bear the name of me before the nations both and
kings sons and of Israel; 16 for I will show him how many things it behoves him on behalf of the name of me to suffer. 17

Ananias
and entered into the hose and putting on him the hands said: Saul brother,
the Lord has sent me, Jesus the ones appearing to in the way which thou camest, so as thou mayest see
again and be filled of Spirit Holy. 18 And immediately fell away of him
from the eyes as scales, and he saw again, and rising up was baptised. 19 and taking food was strengthened. Now he
was with thacre in Damascus disciples
days some. 20 and immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus that
this one is the Son of God. 21 And were amazed all the ones hearing and
said: Not this man is the one having destroyed in Jerusalem the ones
invoking the name, and here for this he had come, that having been bound
them he might bring before the chief priests? 22 But Saul more was filled
with power and confounded Jews the ones dwelling in Damascus, proving that this one is the
Christ. 23 And when were fulfilled days considerable. 24 consulted together
the Jews to kill him; but was known to Saul the plot of them, and they
carefully watched also the gates both by day and by night so as him the
might destroy; 25 but taking the disciples of him by night through the wall
let down him lowering in a basket. 26 And arriving at Jerusalem he tried to be joined to the
disciples; and all feared him, not believing that he is was a disciple. 27
But Barnabas taking hold of him led to the apostles, and narrated to them
how in the way he saw the Lord and that he spoke to him, and how in Damascus he spoke
boldly in the name of Jesus. 28 And he was with them going in and going out
in Jerusalem
speaking boldly in the name of the Lord, 29 Spoke both and discussed with
the Hellenists; and they attempted to kill him. 3 But knowing the brothers
brought down him to Caesarea and sent forth him to Tarsus. 31 The therefore church
throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria
had peace being built and going in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort
of the Holy Spirit was multiplied.
