Men⁴³⁵, brethren⁸⁰, and²⁵³² fathers³⁹⁶², hear ye¹⁹¹ my³⁴⁵⁰ defence⁶²⁷ which I make now³⁵⁶⁸ unto⁴³¹⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹.

(And when they heard¹⁹¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ he spake⁴³⁷⁷ in the Hebrew¹⁴⁴⁶ tongue¹²⁵⁸ to them⁸⁴⁶, they kept³⁹³⁰ the more³¹²³ silence²²⁷¹: and²⁵³² he saith⁵³⁴⁶,)

I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ verily³³⁰³ a man⁴³⁵ which am a Jew²⁴⁵³, born¹⁰⁸⁰ in¹⁷²² Tarsus⁵⁰¹⁹, a city in Cilicia²⁷⁹¹, yet¹¹⁶¹ brought up³⁹⁷ in¹⁷²² this⁵⁰²⁶ city⁴¹⁷² at³⁸⁴⁴ the feet⁴²²⁸ of Gamaliel¹⁰⁵⁹, and taught³⁸¹¹ according²⁵⁹⁶ to the perfect manner¹⁹⁵ of the law³⁵⁵¹ of the fathers³⁹⁷¹, and was⁵²²⁵ zealous²²⁰⁷ toward Elohim²³¹⁶, as²⁵³¹ ye⁵²¹⁰ all³⁹⁵⁶ are²⁰⁷⁵ this day⁴⁵⁹⁴.

Acts 5:34

And I³⁷³⁹ persecuted¹³⁷⁷ this⁵⁰²⁶ way³⁵⁹⁸ unto⁸⁹¹ the death²²⁸⁸, binding¹¹⁹⁵ and²⁵³² delivering³⁸⁶⁰ into¹⁵¹⁹ prisons⁵⁴³⁸ both⁵⁰³⁷ men⁴³⁵ and²⁵³² women¹¹³⁵.

Acts 9:2

As⁵⁶¹³ also²⁵³² the high priest⁷⁴⁹ doth bear³¹⁴⁰ me³⁴²⁷ witness³¹⁴⁰, and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ the estate of the elders⁴²⁴⁴: from³⁸⁴⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² I received¹²⁰⁹ letters¹⁹⁹² unto⁴³¹⁴ the brethren⁸⁰, and²⁵³² went⁴¹⁹⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ Damascus¹¹⁵⁴, to bring⁷¹ them which were⁵⁶⁰⁷ there¹⁵⁶⁶ bound¹²¹⁰ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹, for to²⁴⁴³ be punished⁵⁰⁹⁷.

And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass¹⁰⁹⁶, that, as I made⁴¹⁹⁸ my³⁴²⁷ journey⁴¹⁹⁸ and²⁵³² was come nigh¹⁴⁴⁸ unto Damascus¹¹⁵⁴ about⁴⁰¹² noon³³¹⁴, suddenly¹⁸¹⁰ there shone⁴⁰¹⁵ from¹⁵³⁷ heaven³⁷⁷² a great²⁴²⁵ light⁵⁴⁵⁷ round⁴⁰¹⁵ about⁴⁰¹² me¹⁶⁹¹.

And⁵⁰³⁷ I fell⁴⁰⁹⁸ unto¹⁵¹⁹ the ground¹⁴⁷⁵, and²⁵³² heard¹⁹¹ a voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ saying³⁰⁰⁴ unto me³⁴²⁷, Saul⁴⁵⁴⁹, Saul⁴⁵⁴⁹, why⁵¹⁰¹ persecutest thou¹³⁷⁷ me³¹⁶⁵?

Acts 26:14

And¹¹⁶¹ I¹⁴⁷³ answered⁶¹¹, Who⁵¹⁰¹ art thou¹⁴⁸⁸ Master²⁹⁶²? And⁵⁰³⁷ he said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ me³¹⁶⁵, I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ Yahshua²⁴²⁴ of Nazareth³⁴⁸⁰, whom³⁷³⁹ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ persecutest¹³⁷⁷.

Matthew 2:23

And¹¹⁶¹ they that were⁵⁶⁰⁷ with⁴⁸⁶² me¹⁶⁹⁸ saw²³⁰⁰ indeed³³⁰³ the light⁵⁴⁵⁷, and²⁵³² were¹⁰⁹⁶ afraid¹⁷¹⁹; but¹¹⁶¹ they heard¹⁹¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ the voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ of him that spake²⁹⁸⁰ to me³⁴²⁷.

And¹¹⁶¹ I said²⁰³⁶, What⁵¹⁰¹ shall I do⁴¹⁶⁰, Master²⁹⁶²? And¹¹⁶¹ Yahshua²⁹⁶² said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ me³¹⁶⁵, Arise⁴⁵⁰, and go⁴¹⁹⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ Damascus¹¹⁵⁴; and there²⁵⁴⁶ it shall be told²⁹⁸⁰ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ of⁴⁰¹² all things³⁹⁵⁶ which³⁷³⁹ are appointed⁵⁰²¹ for thee⁴⁶⁷¹ to do⁴¹⁶⁰.

And¹¹⁶¹ when⁵⁶¹³ I could¹⁶⁸⁹ not³⁷⁵⁶ see¹⁶⁸⁹ for⁵⁷⁵ the glory¹³⁹¹ of that¹⁵⁶⁵ light⁵⁴⁵⁷, being led by the hand⁵⁴⁹⁶ of⁵²⁵⁹ them that were⁴⁸⁹⁵ with me³⁴²⁷, I came²⁰⁶⁴ into¹⁵¹⁹ Damascus¹¹⁵⁴.

And¹¹⁶¹ one⁵¹⁰⁰ Ananias³⁶⁷, a devout²¹⁵² man⁴³⁵ according²⁵⁹⁶ to the law³⁵⁵¹, having a good report³¹⁴⁰ of⁵²⁵⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ the Jews²⁴⁵³ which dwelt²⁷³⁰ there,

Came²⁰⁶⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ me³¹⁶⁵, and²⁵³² stood²¹⁸⁶, and said²⁰³⁶ unto me³⁴²⁷, Brother⁸⁰ Saul⁴⁵⁴⁹, receive thy sight³⁰⁸. And²⁵⁰⁴ the same⁸⁴⁶ hour⁵⁶¹⁰ I²⁵⁰⁴ looked up³⁰⁸ upon¹⁵¹⁹ him⁸⁴⁶.

And¹¹⁶¹ he said²⁰³⁶, The Elohim²³¹⁶ of our²²⁵⁷ fathers³⁹⁶² hath chosen⁴⁴⁰⁰ thee⁴⁵⁷¹, that thou shouldest know¹⁰⁹⁷ his⁸⁴⁶ will²³⁰⁷, and²⁵³² see¹⁴⁹² that Just One¹³⁴², and²⁵³² shouldest hear¹⁹¹ the voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ of¹⁵³⁷ his⁸⁴⁶ mouth⁴⁷⁵⁰.

For³⁷⁵⁴ thou shalt be²⁰⁷¹ his⁸⁴⁶ witness³¹⁴⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ all³⁹⁵⁶ men⁴⁴⁴ of what³⁷³⁹ thou hast seen³⁷⁰⁸ and²⁵³² heard¹⁹¹.

And²⁵³² now³⁵⁶⁸ why⁵¹⁰¹ tarriest thou³¹⁹⁵? arise⁴⁵⁰, and be baptized⁹⁰⁷, and²⁵³² wash away⁶²⁸ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ sins²⁶⁶, calling on¹⁹⁴¹ the name³⁶⁸⁶ of Yahweh²⁹⁶².

And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass¹⁰⁹⁶, that, when I³⁴²⁷ was come again⁵²⁹⁰ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹, even²⁵³² while I³⁴⁵⁰ prayed⁴³³⁶ in¹⁷²² the temple²⁴¹¹, I³¹⁶⁵ was¹⁰⁹⁶ in¹⁷²² a trance¹⁶¹¹;

And²⁵³² saw¹⁴⁹² him⁸⁴⁶ saying³⁰⁰⁴ unto me³⁴²⁷, Make haste⁴⁶⁹², and²⁵³² get thee¹⁸³¹ quickly⁵⁰³⁴ out of¹⁵³⁷ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹: for¹³⁶⁰ they will³⁸⁵⁸ not³⁷⁵⁶ receive³⁸⁵⁸ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ testimony³¹⁴¹ concerning⁴⁰¹² me¹⁷⁰⁰.

And I²⁵⁰⁴ said²⁰³⁶, Master²⁹⁶², they⁸⁴⁶ know¹⁹⁸⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ I¹⁴⁷³ imprisoned²²⁵² and²⁵³² beat¹¹⁹⁴ in every²⁵⁹⁶ synagogue⁴⁸⁶⁴ them that believed⁴¹⁰⁰ on¹⁹⁰⁹ thee⁴⁵⁷¹:

And²⁵³² when³⁷⁵³ the blood¹²⁹ of thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ martyr³¹⁴⁴ Stephen⁴⁷³⁶ was shed¹⁶³², I⁸⁴⁶ also²⁵³² was²²⁵² standing by²¹⁸⁶, and²⁵³² consenting⁴⁹⁰⁹ unto his⁸⁴⁶ death³³⁶, and²⁵³² kept⁵⁴⁴² the raiment²⁴⁴⁰ of them that slew³³⁷ him⁸⁴⁶.

Acts 8:1

And²⁵³² he said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ me³¹⁶⁵, Depart⁴¹⁹⁸: for³⁷⁵⁴ I¹⁴⁷³ will send¹⁸²¹ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ far hence³¹¹² unto¹⁵¹⁹ the Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴.

And¹¹⁶¹ they gave¹⁹¹ him⁸⁴⁶ audience¹⁹¹ unto⁸⁹¹ this⁵¹²⁷ word³⁰⁵⁶, and²⁵³² then lifted up¹⁸⁶⁹ their⁸⁴⁶ voices⁵⁴⁵⁶, and said³⁰⁰⁴, Away with¹⁴² such⁵¹⁰⁸ a fellow from⁵⁷⁵ the earth¹⁰⁹³: for¹⁰⁶³ it is²⁵²⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ fit²⁵²⁰ that he⁸⁴⁶ should live²¹⁹⁸.

And¹¹⁶¹ as they⁸⁴⁶ cried out²⁹⁰⁵, and²⁵³² cast off⁴⁴⁹⁵ their clothes²⁴⁴⁰, and²⁵³² threw⁹⁰⁶ dust²⁸⁶⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ the air¹⁰⁹,

The chief captain⁵⁵⁰⁶ commanded²⁷⁵³ him⁸⁴⁶ to be brought⁷¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the castle³⁹²⁵, and bade²⁰³⁶ that he⁸⁴⁶ should be examined⁴²⁶ by scourging³¹⁴⁸; that²⁴⁴³ he might know¹⁹²¹ wherefore¹²²³ they cried²⁰¹⁹ so³⁷⁷⁹ against²⁰¹⁹ him⁸⁴⁶.

And¹¹⁶¹ as⁵⁶¹³ they bound⁴³⁸⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ with thongs²⁴³⁸, Paul³⁹⁷² said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ the centurion¹⁵⁴³ that stood by²⁴⁷⁶, Is it lawful¹⁴⁸⁷ for you⁵²¹³ to scourge³¹⁴⁷ a man⁴⁴⁴ that is a Roman⁴⁵¹⁴, and²⁵³² uncondemned¹⁷⁸?

When¹¹⁶¹ the centurion¹⁵⁴³ heard¹⁹¹ that, he went⁴³³⁴ and told⁵¹⁸ the chief captain⁵⁵⁰⁶, saying³⁰⁰⁴, Take heed³⁷⁰⁸ what⁵¹⁰¹ thou doest³¹⁹⁵: for¹⁰⁶³ this³⁷⁷⁸ man⁴⁴⁴ is²⁰⁷⁶ a Roman⁴⁵¹⁴.

Then¹¹⁶¹ the chief captain⁵⁵⁰⁶ came⁴³³⁴, and said²⁰³⁶ unto him⁸⁴⁶, Tell³⁰⁰⁴ me³⁴²⁷, ¹⁴⁸⁷ art¹⁴⁸⁸ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ a Roman⁴⁵¹⁴?¹¹⁶¹ He said⁵³⁴⁶, Yea³⁴⁸³.

And⁵⁰³⁷ the chief captain⁵⁵⁰⁶ answered⁶¹¹, With a great⁴¹⁸³ sum²⁷⁷⁴ obtained²⁹³² I¹⁴⁷³ this⁵⁰²⁶ freedom⁴¹⁷⁴. And¹¹⁶¹ Paul³⁹⁷² said⁵³⁴⁶, But¹¹⁶¹ I¹⁴⁷³ was free born¹⁰⁸⁰.

Then³⁷⁶⁷ straightway²¹¹² they departed⁸⁶⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ which³⁵⁸⁸ should³¹⁹⁵ have examined⁴²⁶ him⁸⁴⁶: and¹¹⁶¹ the chief captain⁵⁵⁰⁶ also²⁵³² was afraid⁵³⁹⁹, after he knew¹⁹²¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ he was²⁰⁷⁶ a Roman⁴⁵¹⁴, and²⁵³² because³⁷⁵⁴ he had²²⁵⁸ bound¹²¹⁰ him⁸⁴⁶.

On the morrow¹⁸⁸⁷, because he would¹⁰¹⁴ have known¹⁰⁹⁷ the certainty⁸⁰⁴ wherefore⁵¹⁰¹ he was accused²⁷²³ of³⁸⁴⁴ the Jews²⁴⁵³, he loosed³⁰⁸⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ his bands¹¹⁹⁹, and²⁵³² commanded²⁷⁵³ the chief priests⁷⁴⁹ and²⁵³² all³⁶⁵⁰ their⁸⁴⁶ council⁴⁸⁹² to appear²⁰⁶⁴, and²⁵³² brought²⁶⁰⁹ Paul³⁹⁷² down²⁶⁰⁹, and set him²⁴⁷⁶ before¹⁵¹⁹ them⁸⁴⁶.
