Acts 9 (kjv)

And^G1161 Saul^G4569, yet^G2089 breathing out^G1709 threatenings^G547 and^G2532 slaughter^G5408 against^G1519 the disciples^G3101 of the Lord^G2962, went^G4334 unto the high priest^G749,²And desired^G154 of^G3844 him^G846 letters^G1992 to^G1519 Damascus^G1154 to^G4314 the synagogues^G4864, that^G3704 if^G1437 he found^G2147 any^G5100 of this way^G3598, whether^G5037 they were^G5607 men^G435 or^G2532 women^G1135, he might bring them^G71 bound^G1210 unto^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419.³And^G1161 as he^G846 journeyed^{G4198 G1722}, he came^G1096 near^G1448 Damascus^G1154: and^G2532 suddenly^G1810 there shined round about^G4015 him^G846 a light^G5457 from^G575 heaven^G3772:⁴And^G2532 he fell^G4098 to^G1909 the earth^G1093, and heard^G191 a voice^G5456 saying^G3004 unto him^G846, Saul^G4549, Saul^G4549, why^G5101 persecutest thou^G1377 me^G3165?⁵And^G1161 he said^G2036, Who^G5101 art thou^G1488, Lord^G2962? And^G1161 the Lord^G2962 said^G2036, I^G1473 am^G1510 Jesus^G2424 whom^G3739 thou^G4771 persecutest^G1377: it is hard^G4642 for thee^G4671 to kick^G2979 against^G4314 the pricks^G2759.⁶And^G5037 he trembling^G5141 and^G2532 astonished^G2284 said^G2036, Lord^G2962, what^G5101 wilt thou have^G2309 me^G3165 to do^G4160? And^G2532 the Lord^G2962 said unto^G4314 him^G846, Arise^G450, and^G2532 go^G1525 into^G1519 the city^G4172, and^G2532 it shall be told^G2980 thee^G4671 what^G5101 thou^G4571 must^G1163 do^G4160.⁷And^G1161 the men^G435 which^G3588 journeyed^G4922 with him^G846 stood^G2476 speechless^G1769, hearing^{G191 G3303} a voice^G5456, but^G1161 seeing^G2334 no man^G3367.⁸And^G1161 Saul^G4569 arose^G1453 from^G575 the earth^G1093; and^G1161 when his^G846 eyes^G3788 were opened^G455, he saw^G991 no man^G3762: but^G1161 they led^G5496 him^G846 by the hand^G5496, and brought^G1521 him into^G1519 Damascus^G1154.⁹And^G2532 he was^G2258 three^G5140 days^G2250 without^G3361 sight^G991, and^G2532 neither^G3756 did eat^G5315 nor^G3761 drink^G4095.¹⁰And^G1161 there was^G2258 a certain^G5100 disciple^G3101 at^G1722 Damascus^G1154, named^G3686 Ananias^G367; and^G2532 to^G4314 him^G846 said^G2036 the Lord^G2962 in^G1722 a vision^G3705, Ananias^G367. And^G1161 he said^G2036, Behold^G2400, I^G1473 am here, Lord^G2962.¹¹And^G1161 the Lord^G2962 said unto^G4314 him^G846, Arise^G450, and go^G4198 into^G1909 the street^G4505 which^G3588 is called^G2564 Straight^G2117, and^G2532 enquire^G2212 in^G1722 the house^G3614 of Judas^G2455 for one called^G3686 Saul^G4569, of Tarsus^G5018: for^G1063, behold^G2400, he prayeth^G4336,¹²And^G2532 hath seen^G1492 in^G1722 a vision^G3705 a man^G435 named^G3686 Ananias^G367 coming in^G1525, and^G2532 putting^G2007 his hand^G5495 on^G2007 him^G846, that^G3704 he might receive his sight^G308.¹³Then^G1161 Ananias^G367 answered^G611, Lord^G2962, I have heard^G191 by^G575 many^G4183 of^G4012 this^G5127 man^G435, how much^G3745 evil^G2556 he hath done^G4160 to thy^G4675 saints^G40 at^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419:¹⁴And^G2532 here^G5602 he hath^G2192 authority^G1849 from^G3844 the chief priests^G749 to bind^G1210 all^G3956 that call^G1941 on thy^G4675 name^G3686.¹⁵But^G1161 the Lord^G2962 said^G2036 unto^G4314 him^G846, Go thy way^G4198: for^G3754 he^G3778 is^G2076 a chosen^G1589 vessel^G4632 unto me^G3427, to bear^G941 my^G3450 name^G3686 before^G1799 the Gentiles^G1484, and^G2532 kings^G935, and^G5037 the children^G5207 of Israel^G2474:¹⁶For^G1063 I^G1473 will shew^G5263 him^G846 how great things^G3745 he^G846 must^G1163 suffer^G3958 for^G5228 my^G3450 name's sake^{G3686 G5228}.¹⁷And^G1161 Ananias^G367 went his way^G565, and^G2532 entered^G1525 into^G1519 the house^G3614; and^G2532 putting^G2007 his hands^G5495 on^G1909 him^G846 said^G2036, Brother^G80 Saul^G4549, the Lord^G2962, even Jesus^G2424, that appeared^G3700 unto thee^G4671 in^G1722 the way^G3598 as^G3739 thou camest^G2064, hath sent^G649 me^G3165, that^G3704 thou mightest receive thy sight^G308, and^G2532 be filled with^G4130 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151.¹⁸And^G2532 immediately^G2112 there fell^G634 from^G575 his^G846 eyes^G3788 as^G5616 it had been scales^G3013: and he received sight^G308 forthwith^G3916, and^G5037 arose^G450, and^G2532 was baptized^G907.¹⁹And^G2532 when he had received^G2983 meat^G5160, he was strengthened^G1765. Then^G1161 was^G1096 Saul^G4569 certain^G5100 days^G2250 with^G3326 the disciples^G3101 which were at^G1722 Damascus^G1154.²⁰And^G2532 straightway^G2112 he preached^G2784 Christ^G5547 in^G1722 the synagogues^G4864, that^G3754 he^G3778 is^G2076 the Son^G5207 of God^G2316.²¹But^G1161 all^G3956 that heard^G191 him were amazed^G1839, and^G2532 said^G3004; Is^G2076 not^G3756 this^G3778 he that destroyed^G4199 them which^G3588 called on^G1941 this^G5124 name^G3686 in^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419, and^G2532 came^G2064 hither^G5602 for^G1519 that^G5124 intent^G1519, that^G2443 he might bring^G71 them^G846 bound^G1210 unto^G1909 the chief priests^G749?²²But^G1161 Saul^G4569 increased^G1743 the more^G3123 in strength^G1743, and^G2532 confounded^G4797 the Jews^G2453 which^G3588 dwelt^G2730 at^G1722 Damascus^G1154, proving^G4822 that^G3754 this^G3778 is^G2076 very Christ^G5547.²³And^G1161 after^G5613 that many^G2425 days^G2250 were fulfilled^G4137, the Jews^G2453 took counsel^G4823 to kill^G337 him^G846:²⁴But^G1161 their^G846 laying await^G1917 was known^G1097 of Saul^G4569. And^G5037 they watched^G3906 the gates^G4439 day^G2250 and^G2532 night^G3571 to^G3704 kill^G337 him^G846.²⁵Then^G1161 the disciples^G3101 took^G2983 him^G846 by night^G3571, and let him down^{G2524 G5465} by^G1223 the wall^G5038 in^G1722 a basket^G4711.²⁶And^G1161 when Saul^G4569 was come^G3854 to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419, he assayed^G3987 to join himself^G2853 to the disciples^G3101: but^G2532 they were^G5399 all^G3956 afraid^G5399 of him^G846, and believed^G4100 not^G3361 that^G3754 he was^G2076 a disciple^G3101.²⁷But^G1161 Barnabas^G921 took^G1949 him^G846, and brought^G71 him to^G4314 the apostles^G652, and^G2532 declared^G1334 unto them^G846 how^G4459 he had seen^G1492 the Lord^G2962 in^G1722 the way^G3598, and^G2532 that^G3754 he had spoken^G2980 to him^G846, and^G2532 how^G4459 he had preached boldly^G3955 at^G1722 Damascus^G1154 in^G1722 the name^G3686 of Jesus^G2424.²⁸And^G2532 he was^G2258 with^G3326 them^G846 coming in^G1531 and^G2532 going out^G1607 at^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419.²⁹And^G2532 he spake^G2980 boldly^G3955 in^G1722 the name^G3686 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, and^{G5037 G2532} disputed^G4802 against^G4314 the Grecians^G1675: but^G1161 they went about^G2021 to slay^G337 him^G846.³⁰Which when^G1161 the brethren^G80 knew^G1921, they brought^G2609 him^G846 down^G2609 to^G1519 Caesarea^G2542, and^G2532 sent^G1821 him^G846 forth^G1821 to^G1519 Tarsus^G5019.³¹Then^{G3303 G3767} had^G2192 the churches^G1577 rest^G1515 throughout^G2596 all^G3650 Judaea^G2449 and^G2532 Galilee^G1056 and^G2532 Samaria^G4540, and were edified^G3618; and^G2532 walking in^G4198 the fear^G5401 of the Lord^G2962, and^G2532 in the comfort^G3874 of the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151, were multiplied^G4129.³²And^G1161 it came^G1096 to pass, as^G1330 Peter^G4074 passed throughout^{G1330 G1223} all^G3956 quarters, he came down^G2718 also^G2532 to^G4314 the saints^G40 which^G3588 dwelt^G2730 at Lydda^G3069.³³And^G1161 there^G1563 he found^G2147 a certain^G5100 man^G444 named^G3686 Aeneas^G132, which had kept^{G2621 G1909} his bed^{G2895 G1537} eight^G3638 years^G2094, and^G3739 was^G2258 sick of the palsy^G3886.³⁴And^G2532 Peter^G4074 said^G2036 unto him^G846, Aeneas^G132, Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 maketh^G2390 thee^G4571 whole^G2390: arise^G450, and^G2532 make^G4766 thy^G4572 bed^G4766. And^G2532 he arose^G450 immediately^G2112.³⁵And^G2532 all^G3956 that dwelt^G2730 at Lydda^G3069 and^G2532 Saron^G4565 saw^G1492 him^G846, and^G3748 turned^G1994 to^G1909 the Lord^G2962.³⁶Now^G1161 there was^G2258 at^G1722 Joppa^G2445 a certain^G5100 disciple^G3102 named^G3686 Tabitha^G5000, which^G3739 by interpretation^G1329 is called^G3004 Dorcas^G1393: this woman^{G3778 G846} was^G2258 full^G4134 of good^G18 works^G2041 and^G2532 almsdeeds^G1654 which^G3739 she did^G4160.³⁷And^G1161 it came to pass^G1096 in^G1722 those^G1565 days^G2250, that she was sick^G770, and died^G599: whom when^G1161 they^G846 had washed^{G3068 G846}, they laid^G5087 her in^G1722 an upper chamber^G5253.³⁸And^G1161 forasmuch as^G5607 Lydda^G3069 was nigh^G1451 to Joppa^G2445, and the disciples^G3101 had heard^G191 that^G3754 Peter^G4074 was^G2076 there^{G1722 G846}, they sent^G649 unto^G4314 him^G846 two^G1417 men^G435, desiring^G3870 him that he would^G3635 not^G3361 delay^G3635 to come^G1330 to^G2193 them^G846.³⁹Then^G1161 Peter^G4074 arose^G450 and went with^G4905 them^G846. When he^G3739 was come^G3854, they brought him^G321 into^G1519 the upper chamber^G5253: and^G2532 all^G3956 the widows^G5503 stood by^G3936 him^G846 weeping^G2799, and^G2532 shewing^G1925 the coats^G5509 and^G2532 garments^G2440 which^G3745 Dorcas^G1393 made^G4160, while she was^G5607 with^G3326 them^G846.⁴⁰But^G1161 Peter^G4074 put^G1544 them all^G3956 forth^G1854, and kneeled down^{G5087 G1119}, and prayed^G4336; and^G2532 turning^G1994 him to^G4314 the body^G4983 said^G2036, Tabitha^G5000, arise^G450. And^G1161 she opened^G455 her^G846 eyes^G3788: and^G2532 when she saw^G1492 Peter^G4074, she sat up^G339.⁴¹And^G1161 he gave^G1325 her^G846 his hand^G5495, and lifted^G450 her^G846 up^G450, and^G1161 when he had called^G5455 the saints^G40 and^G2532 widows^G5503, presented^G3936 her^G846 alive^G2198.⁴²And^G1161 it was^G1096 known^G1110 throughout^G2596 all^G3650 Joppa^G2445; and^G2532 many^G4183 believed^G4100 in^G1909 the Lord^G2962.⁴³And^G1161 it came to pass^G1096, that he^G846 tarried^G3306 many^G2425 days^G2250 in^G1722 Joppa^G2445 with^G3844 one^G5100 Simon^G4613 a tanner^G1038.
