| 1 | And Saulos, still breathing threats even of murder to the students of the Prince, going forth to the high priest |
| 2 | requested letters from him to Damaskos to the assembly halls, that if anyone should be found being of the Way, both men and women, being bound he would bring them to Jerusalem. |
| 3 | And it came to pass in his traveling, approaching Damaskos, then suddenly there shone around him a light from the heaven, |
| 4 | and falling upon the ground he heard a voice saying to him "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?" |
| 5 | And he said "Who are you, master?" And He "I am Yahshua, whom you persecute! |
| 6 | But you must arise and go into the city and it shall be spoken to you what it is which is necessary for you to do." |
| 7 | And the men traveling with him stood dumb, indeed hearing the voice but seeing nobody. |
| 8 | Then Saulos rose up from the ground, and opening his eyes he saw nothing. And being led by the hand he entered into Damaskos. |
| 9 | And he was three days not seeing and he did not eat nor drink. |
| 10 | And there was a certain student in Damaskos named Hananias, and the Prince said to him in a vision "Hananias!" And he said "Behold, it is I, Prince!" |
| 11 | And the Prince said to him "Arising you must go to the street called 'Straight' and inquire at the house of Iouda for a Saulos named 'of Tarsus.' For behold, he prays |
| 12 | and has seen a man in a vision named Hananias entering and laying the hands upon him that his sight may be restored." |
| 13 | And Hananias replied "Prince, I have heard from many concerning this man, how much evil he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem, |
| 14 | and thus he has authority from the high priests to bind all of those being called by Your Name." |
| 15 | But the Prince said to him "Go! For he is a vessel chosen by Me who is to bear My Name before both the Nations and kings of the sons of Israel. |
| 16 | For I shall indicate to him how much it is necessary for him to suffer on behalf of My Name." |
| 17 | Then Hananias departed and entered into that house and laying the hands upon him said "Saul, brother, the Prince has sent me, Yahshua who appeared to you on the road by which you came, that you should see again and be filled of the Holy Spirit." |
| 18 | And at once there fell from his eyes like scales, then his sight was restored and arising he was immersed |
| 19 | and taking food he was strengthened. Then he was for some days with the students in Damaskos, |
| 20 | and immediately he proclaimed Yahshua in the assembly halls, that He is the Son of Yahweh. |
| 21 | And all those hearing were astonished and they said "Is this not he endeavoring to destroy those in Jerusalem calling themselves by this name? And has come here for that reason, that binding them he may lead them to the high priests?" |
| 22 | But still more was Saulos strengthened, and confounded the Judaeans who were dwelling in Damaskos, instructing that this Man is the Christ. |
| 23 | And as considerable days were fulfilled, the Judaeans had taken counsel to kill him. |
| 24 | But their counsel was made known to Saulos, and they even watched closely the gates both day and night, that they may kill him. |
| 25 | But his students taking him by night sat him in a basket lowering him down by the wall. |
| 26 | Then arriving in Jerusalem he tried to join the students, and they all feared him, not believing that he is a student. |
| 27 | But taking him Barnabas brought him to the ambassadors, and he described to them how on the road he saw the Prince and that He spoke to him and how in Damaskos he spoke freely in the Name of Yahshua. |
| 28 | And he was with them, going in and going out in Jerusalem, speaking freely in the Name of the Prince, |
| 29 | he had both spoken to and disputed with the Hellenists, and they endeavored to kill him. |
| 30 | But discovering it the brethren brought him down into Caesareia and sent him off to Tarsos. |
| 31 | So then the assembly throughout the whole of Judaea and Galilaia and Samareia had peace, being built and going in fear of the Prince, and in comfort of the Holy Spirit it multiplied. |
| 32 | And it came to pass that Petros was passing through everywhere, coming down also to the saints who were dwelling in Ludda, |
| 33 | and found there a certain man named Aineas who was paralyzed, for eight years lying upon a couch. |
| 34 | And Petros said to him "Aineas, Yahshua Christ has healed you! You must arise and straighten yourself out!" And immediately he arose. |
| 35 | And all those dwelling in Ludda and Saron who had seen him, as many turned to the Prince. |
| 36 | And in Ioppa there was a certain student named Tabitha, which being interpreted is said "Gazelle". She was full of good deeds and acts of charity which she did. |
| 37 | And it happened in those days that she being sick died. And washing her they laid her in an upper room. |
| 38 | And as Ludda was near to Ioppa, the students hearing that Petros is in it sent two men to him exhorting him: "You should not hesitate to come through unto us!" |
| 39 | And Petros arising went with them, whom arriving they led into the upper room, and present in it were all the widows weeping and exhibiting the shirts and garments Gazelle made as long as she was with them. |
| 40 | And casting them all outside Petros then kneeling down prayed and turning to the body said "Tabitha, you must arise!" And she opened her eyes, and seeing Petros she sat up. |
| 41 | Then offering her a hand he raised her, and calling the saints and the widows he presented her alive. |
| 42 | And it became known throughout the whole of Ioppa, and many believed in the Prince. |
| 43 | And he was for considerable days abiding in Ioppa with a certain Simon, a tanner. |
