Acts 9

1 Saul, going towards Damascus, 4 is stricken down to the earth, 10 is called to the apostleship, 18 and is baptized by Ananias. 20 He preacheth Christ boldly. 23 The Jews lay wait to kill him: 29 so do the Grecians, but he escapeth both. 31 The Church having rest, Peter healeth Eneas of the palsy, 36 and restoreth Tabitha to life.

 9:1 ¶ And 1161 Saul, 4569 yet 2089 breathing out 1709 z5723 threatenings 547 and 2532 slaughter 5408 against 1519 the x3588 disciples 3101 of the x3588 Lord, 2962 went 4334 z5631 unto the x3588 high priest, 749

 9:2 And desired 154 z5668 of 3844 him 846 letters 1992 to 1519 Damascus 1154 to 4314 the x3588 synagogues, 4864 that 3704 if 1437 he found 2147 z5632 any 5100 of this x5607 way, 3598 whether 5037 they were y5607 z5752 men 435 or 2532 women, 1135 he might bring x71 them y71 z5632 bound 1210 z5772 unto 1519 Jerusalem. 2419

 9:3 And 1161 as he y846 journeyed, 4198 z5738 y1722 he x846 came y1096 z5633 near 1448 z5721 Damascus: 1154 and 2532 suddenly 1810 there shined round about 4015 z5656 him 846 a light 5457 from 575 heaven: 3772

 9:4 And 2532 he fell 4098 z5631 to 1909 the x3588 earth, 1093 and heard 191 z5656 a voice 5456 saying 3004 z5723 unto him, y846 x848 Saul, 4549 Saul, 4549 why 5101 persecutest x1377 thou y1377 z5719 me? 3165

 9:5 And 1161 he said, 2036 z5627 Who 5101 art x1488 thou, y1488 z5748 Lord? 2962 And 1161 the x3588 Lord 2962 said, 2036 z5627 I 1473 am 1510 z5748 Jesus 2424 whom 3739 thou 4771 persecutest: 1377 z5719 [it is] hard 4642 for thee 4671 to kick 2979 z5721 against 4314 the pricks. 2759

 9:6 And 5037 he trembling 5141 z5723 and 2532 astonished 2284 z5723 said, 2036 z5627 Lord, 2962 what 5101 wilt x2309 thou have y2309 z5719 me 3165 to do? 4160 z5658 And 2532 the x3588 Lord 2962 [said] unto 4314 him, 846 Arise, 450 z5628 and 2532 go 1525 z5628 into 1519 the x3588 city, 4172 and 2532 it shall be told 2980 z5701 thee 4671 what 5101 thou y4571 must 1163 z5748 do. 4160 z5721

 9:7 And 1161 the x3588 men 435 which y3588 journeyed y4922 z5723 with x4922 him 846 stood 2476 z5715 speechless, 1769 hearing 191 z5723 y3303 a x3303 voice, 5456 but 1161 seeing 2334 z5723 no man. 3367

 9:8 And 1161 Saul 4569 arose 1453 z5681 from 575 the x3588 earth; 1093 and 1161 when his y846 x848 eyes 3788 were opened, 455 z5772 he saw 991 z5707 no man: 3762 but 1161 they led y5496 z0 him y846 by the hand, 5496 z5723 x846 and brought 1521 z5627 [him] into 1519 Damascus. 1154

 9:9 And 2532 he was 2258 z5713 three 5140 days 2250 without 3361 sight, 991 z5723 and 2532 neither 3756 did eat 5315 z5627 nor 3761 drink. 4095 z5627

 9:10 ¶ And 1161 there was 2258 z5713 a certain 5100 disciple 3101 at 1722 Damascus 1154 named 3686 Ananias; 367 and 2532 to 4314 him 846 said 2036 z5627 the x3588 Lord 2962 in 1722 a vision, 3705 Ananias. 367 And 1161 he x3588 said, 2036 z5627 Behold, 2400 z5628 I 1473 [am here], Lord. 2962

 9:11 And 1161 the x3588 Lord 2962 [said] unto 4314 him, 846 Arise, 450 z5631 and go 4198 z5676 into 1909 the x3588 street 4505 which y3588 is called 2564 z5746 Straight, 2117 and 2532 inquire 2212 z5657 in 1722 the house 3614 of Judas 2455 for [one] called 3686 Saul 4569 of Tarsus: 5018 for, 1063 behold, 2400 z5628 he prayeth, 4336 z5736

 9:12 And 2532 hath seen 1492 z5627 in 1722 a vision 3705 a man 435 named 3686 Ananias 367 coming in, 1525 z5631 and 2532 putting 2007 z0 [his] hand 5495 on y2007 z5631 him, 846 that 3704 he might receive his sight. 308 z5661

 9:13 Then 1161 Ananias 367 answered, 611 z5662 Lord, 2962 I have heard 191 z5754 by 575 many 4183 of 4012 this 5127 man, 435 how much 3745 evil 2556 he hath done 4160 z5656 to thy 4675 saints 40 at 1722 Jerusalem: 2419

 9:14 And 2532 here 5602 he hath 2192 z5719 authority 1849 from 3844 the x3588 chief priests 749 to bind 1210 z5658 all 3956 that call y1941 z5734 on x1941 thy 4675 name. 3686

 9:15 But 1161 the x3588 Lord 2962 said 2036 z5627 unto 4314 him, 846 Go thy way: 4198 z5737 for 3754 he 3778 is 2076 z5748 a chosen 1589 vessel 4632 unto me, 3427 to bear 941 z5658 my 3450 name 3686 before 1799 the Gentiles, 1484 and 2532 kings, 935 and 5037 the children 5207 of Israel: 2474

 9:16 For 1063 I 1473 will show 5263 z5692 him 846 how great things 3745 he 846 must 1163 z5748 suffer 3958 z5629 for 5228 z0 my y3450 name's sake. 3686 y5228 x3450

 9:17 And 1161 Ananias 367 went his way, 565 z5627 and 2532 entered 1525 z5627 into 1519 the x3588 house; 3614 and 2532 putting 2007 z5631 his hands 5495 on 1909 him 846 said, 2036 z5627 Brother 80 Saul, 4549 the x3588 Lord, 2962 [even] Jesus, 2424 that appeared 3700 z5685 unto thee 4671 in 1722 the x3588 way 3598 as 3739 thou camest, 2064 z5711 hath sent 649 z5758 me, 3165 that 3704 thou mightest receive thy sight, 308 z5661 and 2532 be filled x4130 with y4130 z5686 the Holy 40 Ghost. 4151

 9:18 And 2532 immediately 2112 there fell 634 z5627 from 575 his 846 eyes y3788 x3778 as y5616 it had been x5616 scales: 3013 and x5037 he received sight 308 z5656 forthwith, 3916 and y5037 x2532 arose, 450 z5631 and y2532 was baptized. 907 z5681

 9:19 And 2532 when he had received 2983 z5631 meat, 5160 he was strengthened. 1765 z5656 Then 1161 was 1096 z5633 Saul 4569 certain 5100 days 2250 with 3326 the x3588 disciples 3101 which were at 1722 Damascus. 1154

 9:20 And 2532 straightway 2112 he preached 2784 z5707 Christ 5547 in 1722 the x3588 synagogues, 4864 that 3754 he 3778 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 Son 5207 of God. 2316

 9:21 But 1161 all 3956 that heard 191 z5723 [him] were amazed, 1839 z5710 and 2532 said; 3004 z5707 Is 2076 z5748 not 3756 this 3778 he that destroyed 4199 z5660 them which y3588 called on 1941 z5734 this 5124 name 3686 in 1722 Jerusalem, 2419 and 2532 came 2064 z5715 hither 5602 for 1519 z0 that y5124 intent, y1519 x5124 that 2443 he might bring 71 z5632 them 846 bound 1210 z5772 unto 1909 the x3588 chief priests? 749

 9:22 But 1161 Saul 4569 increased y1743 z0 the more y3123 in strength, 1743 z5712 x3123 and 2532 confounded 4797 z5707 the x3588 Jews 2453 which y3588 dwelt 2730 z5723 at 1722 Damascus, 1154 proving 4822 z5723 that 3754 this 3778 is 2076 z5748 very Christ. 5547

 9:23 ¶ And 1161 after y5613 that x5613 many 2425 days 2250 were fulfilled, 4137 z5712 the x3588 Jews 2453 took counsel 4823 z5668 to kill 337 z5629 him: 846

 9:24 But 1161 their 846 laying await 1917 was known 1097 z5681 of Saul. 4569 And 5037 they watched 3906 z5707 the x3588 gates 4439 x5037 day 2250 and 2532 night 3571 to 3704 kill 337 z5661 him. 846

 9:25 Then 1161 the x3588 disciples 3101 took 2983 z5631 him 846 by night, 3571 and let [him] down 2524 z5656 y5465 z5660 by 1223 the x3588 wall 5038 in 1722 a basket. 4711

 9:26 And 1161 when Saul 4569 was come 3854 z5637 to 1519 Jerusalem, 2419 he attempted 3987 z5711 to join himself 2853 z5745 to the x3588 disciples: 3101 but 2532 they were y5399 z0 all y3956 afraid 5399 z5711 x3956 of him, 846 and believed 4100 z5723 not 3361 that 3754 he was 2076 z5748 a disciple. 3101

 9:27 But 1161 Barnabas 921 took 1949 z5637 him, 846 and brought 71 z5627 [him] to 4314 the x3588 apostles, 652 and 2532 declared 1334 z5662 unto them 846 how 4459 he had seen y1492 z5627 x492 the x3588 Lord 2962 in 1722 the x3588 way, 3598 and 2532 that 3754 he had spoken 2980 z5656 to him, 846 and 2532 how 4459 he had preached boldly 3955 z5662 at 1722 Damascus 1154 in 1722 the x3588 name 3686 of Jesus. 2424

 9:28 And 2532 he was 2258 z5713 with 3326 them 846 coming in 1531 z5740 z5734 and 2532 going out 1607 z5740 at 1722 Jerusalem. 2419

 9:29 And 2532 he spake y2980 z5707 boldly 3955 z5740 in 1722 the x3588 name 3686 of the x3588 Lord 2962 Jesus, 2424 and 5037 y2532 disputed 4802 z5707 x2980 against 4314 the x3588 Grecians: 1675 but 1161 they x3588 went about 2021 z5707 to slay 337 z5629 him. 846

 9:30 [Which] when 1161 the x3588 brethren 80 knew, 1921 z5631 they brought y2609 z0 him y846 down 2609 z5627 x846 to 1519 Caesarea, 2542 and 2532 sent y1821 z0 him y846 forth 1821 z5656 x846 to 1519 Tarsus. 5019

 9:31 Then 3303 3767 had 2192 z5707 the x3588 churches 1577 rest 1515 throughout 2596 all 3650 Judea 2449 and 2532 Galilee 1056 and 2532 Samaria, 4540 and were edified; 3618 z5746 and 2532 walking x4198 in y4198 z5740 the x3588 fear 5401 of the x3588 Lord, 2962 and 2532 in the x3588 comfort 3874 of the x3588 Holy 40 Ghost, 4151 were multiplied. 4129 z5712

 9:32 ¶ And 1161 it came y1096 z5633 to pass, x1096 as y1330 z0 Peter 4074 passed x1330 throughout 1223 y1330 z5740 all 3956 [quarters], he came down 2718 z5629 also 2532 to 4314 the x3588 saints 40 which y3588 dwelt 2730 z5723 at Lydda. 3069

 9:33 And 1161 there 1563 he found 2147 z5627 a certain 5100 man 444 named 3686 Aeneas, 132 which had kept y2621 z5740 y1909 his bed 2895 1537 x2621 x1909 eight 3638 years, 2094 and 3739 was 2258 z5713 sick of the palsy. 3886 z5772

 9:34 And 2532 Peter 4074 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Aeneas 132 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 maketh y2390 z0 thee y4571 whole: 2390 z5736 x4571 arise, 450 z5628 and 2532 make y4766 z0 thy y4572 bed. 4766 z5657 x4572 And 2532 he arose 450 z5627 immediately. 2112

 9:35 And 2532 all 3956 that dwelt 2730 z5723 at Lydda 3069 and 2532 Sharon 4565 saw 1492 z5627 him, 846 and 3748 turned 1994 z5656 to y1909 x2909 the x3588 Lord. 2962

 9:36 ¶ Now 1161 there was 2258 z5713 at 1722 Joppa 2445 a certain 5100 disciple 3102 named 3686 Tabitha, 5000 which 3739 by interpretation 1329 z5746 is called 3004 z5743 Dorcas: 1393 this woman 3778 z5625 y846 was 2258 z5713 full 4134 of good 18 works 2041 and 2532 almsdeeds 1654 which 3739 she did. 4160 z5707

 9:37 And 1161 it came to pass 1096 z5633 in 1722 those 1565 days, 2250 that she x846 was sick, 770 z5660 and died: 599 z5629 whom when 1161 they y846 had washed, 3068 z5660 y846 they x846 laid 5087 z5656 [her] in 1722 an upper chamber. 5253

 9:38 And 1161 forasmuch as y5607 z5752 Lydda 3069 was x5607 nigh y1451 to x1451 Joppa, 2445 and the x3588 disciples 3101 had heard 191 z5660 that 3754 Peter 4074 was 2076 z5748 there, 1722 846 they sent 649 z5656 unto 4314 him 846 two 1417 men, 435 desiring 3870 z5723 [him] that he would y3635 z0 not 3361 delay 3635 z5658 to come 1330 z5629 to 2193 them. 846

 9:39 Then 1161 Peter 4074 arose 450 z5631 and went with 4905 z5627 them. 846 When x3739 he y3739 was come, 3854 z5637 they brought x321 him y321 z5627 into 1519 the x3588 upper chamber: 5253 and 2532 all 3956 the x3588 widows 5503 stood by 3936 z5656 him 846 weeping, 2799 z5723 and 2532 showing 1925 z5734 the coats 5509 and 2532 garments 2440 which 3745 Dorcas 1393 made, 4160 z5707 while she was 5607 z5752 with 3326 them. 846

 9:40 But 1161 Peter 4074 put 1544 z5631 them all 3956 forth, 1854 and kneeled down, 5087 1119 z5631 and prayed; 4336 z5662 and 2532 turning 1994 z5660 [him] to 4314 the x3588 body 4983 said, 2036 z5627 Tabitha, 5000 arise. 450 z5628 And 1161 she x3588 opened 455 z5656 her y846 x848 eyes: 3788 and 2532 when she saw 1492 z5631 Peter, 4074 she sat up. 339 z5656

 9:41 And 1161 he gave 1325 z5631 her 846 [his] hand, 5495 and lifted y450 z0 her y846 up, 450 z5656 x846 and 1161 when he had called 5455 z5660 the x3588 saints 40 and 2532 widows, 5503 presented 3936 z5656 her 846 alive. 2198 z5723

 9:42 And 1161 it was 1096 z5633 known 1110 throughout 2596 all 3650 Joppa; 2445 and 2532 many 4183 believed 4100 z5656 in 1909 the x3588 Lord. 2962

 9:43 And 1161 it came to pass, 1096 z5633 that he 846 tarried 3306 z5658 many 2425 days 2250 in 1722 Joppa 2445 with 3844 one 5100 Simon 4613 a tanner. 1038
