Acts 22

1 Paul declareth at large, how he was converted to the faith, 17 and called to his apostleship. 22 At the very mentioning of the Gentiles, the people exclaim on him. 24 He should have been scourged, 25 but claiming the privilege of a Roman, he escapeth.

 22:1 ¶ Men, 435 brethren, 80 and 2532 fathers, 3962 hear x191 ye y191 z5657 my 3450 defense 627 [which I make] now 3568 unto 4314 you. 5209

 22:2 (And 1161 when they heard 191 z5660 that 3754 he spake 4377 z5707 in the x3588 Hebrew 1446 tongue 1258 to them, 846 they kept 3930 z5627 the more 3123 silence: 2271 and 2532 he saith,) 5346 z5748

 22:3 I 1473 am 1510 z5748 verily 3303 a man 435 [which am] a Jew, 2453 born 1080 z5772 in 1722 Tarsus, 5019 [a city] in Cilicia, 2791 yet 1161 brought up 397 z5772 in 1722 this 5026 city 4172 at 3844 the x3588 feet 4228 of Gamaliel, 1059 [and] taught 3811 z5772 according 2596 to the perfect manner 195 of the law 3551 of the x3588 fathers, 3971 and was 5225 z5723 zealous 2207 toward God, 2316 as 2531 ye 5210 all 3956 are 2075 z5748 this day. 4594

 22:4 And I 3739 persecuted 1377 z5656 this 5026 way 3598 unto 891 the death, 2288 binding 1195 z5723 and 2532 delivering 3860 z5723 into 1519 prisons 5438 both 5037 men 435 and 2532 women. 1135

 22:5 As 5613 also 2532 the x3588 high priest 749 doth bear y3140 z0 me y3427 witness, 3140 z5719 x3427 and 2532 all 3956 the x3588 estate of the elders: 4244 from 3844 whom 3739 also 2532 I received 1209 z5666 letters 1992 unto 4314 the x3588 brethren, 80 and y2532 went 4198 z5711 to 1519 Damascus, 1154 to bring 71 z5694 x2532 them which were 5607 z5752 there 1566 bound 1210 z5772 unto 1519 Jerusalem, 2419 for to 2443 be punished. 5097 z5686

 22:6 And 1161 it came to pass, 1096 z5633 that, as I x3427 made y4198 z0 my y3427 journey, 4198 z5740 and 2532 was come nigh 1448 z5723 unto Damascus 1154 about 4012 noon, 3314 suddenly 1810 there shone 4015 z0 from 1537 heaven 3772 a great 2425 light 5457 round y4015 z5658 about 4012 me. 1691

 22:7 And 5037 I fell 4098 z5627 unto 1519 the x3588 ground, 1475 and 2532 heard 191 z5656 a voice 5456 saying 3004 z5723 unto me, 3427 Saul, 4549 Saul, 4549 why 5101 persecutest x1377 thou y1377 z5719 me? 3165

 22:8 And 1161 I 1473 answered, 611 z5662 Who 5101 art x1488 thou, y1488 z5748 Lord? 2962 And 5037 he said 2036 z5627 unto 4314 me, 3165 I 1473 am 1510 z5748 Jesus 2424 of Nazareth, 3480 whom 3739 thou 4771 persecutest. 1377 z5719

 22:9 And 1161 they that were 5607 z5752 with 4862 me 1698 saw 2300 z5662 indeed 3303 the x3588 light, 5457 and 2532 were 1096 z5633 afraid; 1719 but 1161 they heard 191 z5656 not 3756 the x3588 voice 5456 of him that spake 2980 z5723 to me. 3427

 22:10 And 1161 I said, 2036 z5627 What 5101 shall I do, 4160 z5661 Lord? 2962 And 1161 the x3588 Lord 2962 said 2036 z5627 unto 4314 me, 3165 Arise, 450 z5631 and go 4198 z5737 into 1519 Damascus; 1154 and there 2546 it shall be told 2980 z5701 thee 4671 of 4012 all things 3956 which 3739 are appointed 5021 z5769 for thee 4671 to do. 4160 z5658

 22:11 And 1161 when 5613 I could y1689 z0 not 3756 see 1689 z5707 for 575 the x3588 glory 1391 of that 1565 light, 5457 being led by the hand 5496 z5746 of 5259 them that were y4895 z5752 with x4895 me, 3427 I came 2064 z5627 into 1519 Damascus. 1154

 22:12 And 1161 one 5100 Ananias, 367 a devout 2152 man 435 according 2596 to the x3588 law, 3551 having a good report 3140 z5746 of 5259 all 3956 the x3588 Jews 2453 which dwelt 2730 z5723 [there],

 22:13 Came 2064 z5631 unto 4314 me, 3165 and 2532 stood, 2186 z5631 and said 2036 z5627 unto me, 3427 Brother 80 Saul, 4549 receive thy sight. 308 z5657 And y2504 z0 the x3588 same 846 hour 5610 I 2504 looked up 308 z5656 upon 1519 him. 846

 22:14 And 1161 he x3588 said, 2036 z5627 The x3588 God 2316 of our 2257 fathers 3962 hath chosen 4400 z5662 thee, 4571 that thou shouldest know 1097 z5629 his y846 x848 will, 2307 and 2532 see 1492 z5629 that Just One, 1342 and 2532 shouldest hear 191 z5658 the voice 5456 of 1537 his y846 x848 mouth. 4750

 22:15 For 3754 thou shalt be 2071 z5704 his 846 witness 3144 unto 4314 all 3956 men 444 of what 3739 thou hast seen 3708 z5758 and 2532 heard. 191 z5656

 22:16 And 2532 now 3568 why 5101 tarriest x3195 thou? y3195 z5719 arise, 450 z5631 and be baptized, 907 z5669 and 2532 wash away 628 z5669 thy 4675 sins, 266 calling on 1941 z5671 the x3588 name 3686 of the x3588 Lord. 2962

 22:17 And 1161 it came to pass, 1096 z5633 that, when I 3427 was come again 5290 z5660 to 1519 Jerusalem, 2419 even 2532 while I 3450 prayed 4336 z5740 in 1722 the x3588 temple, 2411 I 3165 was 1096 z5635 in 1722 a trance; 1611

 22:18 And 2532 saw 1492 z5629 him 846 saying 3004 z5723 unto me, 3427 Make haste, 4692 z5657 and 2532 get x1831 thee y1831 z5628 quickly 5034 1722 out of 1537 Jerusalem: 2419 for 1360 they will y3858 z0 not 3756 receive 3858 z5699 thy 4675 testimony 3141 concerning 4012 me. 1700

 22:19 And I 2504 said, 2036 z5627 Lord, 2962 they 846 know 1987 z5736 that 3754 I 1473 imprisoned 2252 5439 z5713 z5723 and 2532 beat 1194 z5723 in every y2596 synagogue 4864 x2596 them that believed 4100 z5723 on 1909 thee: 4571

 22:20 And 2532 when 3753 the x3588 blood 129 of thy 4675 martyr 3144 Stephen 4736 was shed, 1632 z5712 I y846 x848 also 2532 was 2252 z5713 standing by, 2186 z5761 and 2532 consenting 4909 z5723 unto his y846 x848 death, 336 and 2532 kept 5442 z5723 the x3588 raiment 2440 of them that slew 337 z5723 him. 846

 22:21 And 2532 he said 2036 z5627 unto 4314 me, 3165 Depart: 4198 z5737 for 3754 I 1473 will send 1821 z5692 thee 4571 far hence 3112 unto 1519 the Gentiles. 1484

 22:22 And 1161 they gave y191 z0 him y846 audience 191 z5707 x846 unto 891 this 5127 word, 3056 and 2532 [then] lifted up 1869 z5656 their y846 x848 voices, 5456 and said, 3004 z5723 Away x142 with y142 z5720 such 5108 a [fellow] from 575 the x3588 earth: 1093 for 1063 it is y2520 z0 not y3756 fit 2520 z5723 x3756 that he 846 should live. 2198 z5721

 22:23 And 1161 as they 846 cried out, 2905 z5723 and 2532 cast off 4495 z5723 [their] clothes, 2440 and 2532 threw 906 z5723 dust 2868 into 1519 the x3588 air, 109

 22:24 The x3588 chief captain 5506 commanded 2753 z5656 him 846 to be brought 71 z5745 into 1519 the x3588 castle, 3925 and bade 2036 z5631 that he 846 should be examined 426 z5745 by scourging; 3148 that 2443 he might know 1921 z5632 wherefore 1223 3739 156 they cried y2019 z0 so y3779 against 2019 z5707 x3779 him. 846

 22:25 And 1161 as 5613 they bound 4385 z5656 z5625 him 846 with thongs, 2438 Paul 3972 said 2036 z5627 unto 4314 the centurion 1543 that stood by, 2476 z5761 x1487 Is it lawful 1832 y1487 z5748 for you 5213 to scourge 3147 z5721 a man 444 that is a Roman, 4514 and 2532 uncondemned? 178

 22:26 When 1161 the x3588 centurion 1543 heard 191 z5660 [that], he went 4334 z5631 and told 518 z5656 the x3588 chief captain, 5506 saying, 3004 z5723 Take heed 3708 z5720 what 5101 thou x3195 doest: 4160 y3195 z5719 z5721 for 1063 this 3778 man 444 is 2076 z5748 a Roman. 4514

 22:27 Then 1161 the x3588 chief captain 5506 came, 4334 z5631 and said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Tell 3004 z5720 me, 3427 1487 art 1488 z5748 thou 4771 a Roman? 4514 1161 He x3588 said, 5346 z5713 Yea. 3483

 22:28 And 5037 the x3588 chief captain 5506 answered, 611 z5662 With a great 4183 sum 2774 obtained 2932 z5662 I 1473 this 5026 freedom. 4174 And 1161 Paul 3972 said, 5346 z5713 But 1161 I 1473 y2532 was x2532 [free] born. 1080 z5769

 22:29 Then 3767 straightway 2112 they departed 868 z5627 from 575 him 846 which y3588 should 3195 z5723 have examined 426 z5721 him: 846 and y1161 x2532 the x3588 chief captain 5506 also y2532 x1161 was afraid, 5399 z5675 after he knew 1921 z5631 that 3754 he was 2076 z5748 a Roman, 4514 and 2532 because 3754 he had 2258 z5713 bound 1210 z5761 him. 846

 22:30 y1161 On x1161 the x3588 morrow, 1887 because he would 1014 z5740 have known 1097 z5629 the x3588 certainty 804 wherefore 5101 he was accused 2723 z5743 of 3844 the x3588 Jews, 2453 he loosed 3089 z5656 him 846 from 575 [his] bands, 1199 and 2532 commanded 2753 z5656 the x3588 chief priests 749 and 2532 all 3650 their y846 x848 council 4892 to appear, 2064 z5629 and 2532 brought y2609 z0 Paul y3972 down, 2609 z5631 x3972 and set x2476 him y2476 z5656 before 1519 them. 846
