And¹¹⁶¹ Saul⁴⁵⁶⁹, yet²⁰⁸⁹ breathing out¹⁷⁰⁹ threatenings⁵⁴⁷ and²⁵³² slaughter⁵⁴⁰⁸ against¹⁵¹⁹ the disciples³¹⁰¹ of the Master²⁹⁶², went⁴³³⁴ unto the high priest⁷⁴⁹,

And desired¹⁵⁴ of³⁸⁴⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ letters¹⁹⁹² to¹⁵¹⁹ Damascus¹¹⁵⁴ to⁴³¹⁴ the synagogues⁴⁸⁶⁴, that³⁷⁰⁴ if¹⁴³⁷ he found²¹⁴⁷ any⁵¹⁰⁰ of this way³⁵⁹⁸, whether⁵⁰³⁷ they were⁵⁶⁰⁷ men⁴³⁵ or²⁵³² women¹¹³⁵, he might bring them⁷¹ bound¹²¹⁰ unto¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹.

Isaiah 35:8; Zechariah 9:1; Acts 22:4

And¹¹⁶¹ as he⁸⁴⁶ journeyed⁴¹⁹⁸, he came¹⁰⁹⁶ near¹⁴⁴⁸ Damascus¹¹⁵⁴: and²⁵³² suddenly¹⁸¹⁰ there shined round about⁴⁰¹⁵ him⁸⁴⁶ a light⁵⁴⁵⁷ from⁵⁷⁵ heaven³⁷⁷²:

And²⁵³² he fell⁴⁰⁹⁸ to¹⁹⁰⁹ the earth¹⁰⁹³, and heard¹⁹¹ a voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ saying³⁰⁰⁴ unto him⁸⁴⁶, Saul⁴⁵⁴⁹, Saul⁴⁵⁴⁹, why⁵¹⁰¹ persecutest thou¹³⁷⁷ me³¹⁶⁵?

Acts 26:14

And¹¹⁶¹ he said²⁰³⁶, Who⁵¹⁰¹ art thou¹⁴⁸⁸, Master²⁹⁶²? And¹¹⁶¹ the Master²⁹⁶² said²⁰³⁶, I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ Yahshua²⁴²⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ thou⁴⁷⁷¹ persecutest¹³⁷⁷: it is hard⁴⁶⁴² for thee⁴⁶⁷¹ to kick²⁹⁷⁹ against⁴³¹⁴ the pricks²⁷⁵⁹.

And⁵⁰³⁷ he trembling⁵¹⁴¹ and²⁵³² astonished²²⁸⁴ said²⁰³⁶, Master²⁹⁶², what⁵¹⁰¹ wilt thou have²³⁰⁹ me³¹⁶⁵ to do⁴¹⁶⁰? And²⁵³² the Master²⁹⁶² said unto⁴³¹⁴ him⁸⁴⁶, Arise⁴⁵⁰, and²⁵³² go¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the city⁴¹⁷², and²⁵³² it shall be told²⁹⁸⁰ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ what⁵¹⁰¹ thou⁴⁵⁷¹ must¹¹⁶³ do⁴¹⁶⁰.

And¹¹⁶¹ the men⁴³⁵ which³⁵⁸⁸ journeyed⁴⁹²² with him⁸⁴⁶ stood²⁴⁷⁶ speechless¹⁷⁶⁹, hearing¹⁹¹ a voice⁵⁴⁵⁶, but¹¹⁶¹ seeing²³³⁴ no man³³⁶⁷.

And¹¹⁶¹ Saul⁴⁵⁶⁹ arose¹⁴⁵³ from⁵⁷⁵ the earth¹⁰⁹³; and¹¹⁶¹ when his⁸⁴⁶ eyes³⁷⁸⁸ were opened⁴⁵⁵, he saw⁹⁹¹ no man³⁷⁶²: but¹¹⁶¹ they led⁵⁴⁹⁶ him⁸⁴⁶ by the hand⁵⁴⁹⁶, and brought¹⁵²¹ him into¹⁵¹⁹ Damascus¹¹⁵⁴.

And²⁵³² he was²²⁵⁸ three⁵¹⁴⁰ days²²⁵⁰ without³³⁶¹ sight⁹⁹¹, and²⁵³² neither³⁷⁵⁶ did eat⁵³¹⁵ nor³⁷⁶¹ drink⁴⁰⁹⁵.

Luke 5:33

And¹¹⁶¹ there was²²⁵⁸ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ disciple³¹⁰¹ at¹⁷²² Damascus¹¹⁵⁴, named³⁶⁸⁶ Ananias³⁶⁷; and²⁵³² to⁴³¹⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ said²⁰³⁶ the Master²⁹⁶² in¹⁷²² a vision³⁷⁰⁵, Ananias³⁶⁷. And¹¹⁶¹ he said²⁰³⁶, Behold²⁴⁰⁰, I¹⁴⁷³ am here, Master²⁹⁶².

And¹¹⁶¹ the Master²⁹⁶² said unto⁴³¹⁴ him⁸⁴⁶, Arise⁴⁵⁰, and go⁴¹⁹⁸ into¹⁹⁰⁹ the street⁴⁵⁰⁵ which³⁵⁸⁸ is called²⁵⁶⁴ Straight²¹¹⁷, and²⁵³² enquire²²¹² in¹⁷²² the house³⁶¹⁴ of Judas²⁴⁵⁵ for one called³⁶⁸⁶ Saul⁴⁵⁶⁹, of Tarsus⁵⁰¹⁸: for¹⁰⁶³, behold²⁴⁰⁰, he prayeth⁴³³⁶,

And²⁵³² hath seen¹⁴⁹² in¹⁷²² a vision³⁷⁰⁵ a man⁴³⁵ named³⁶⁸⁶ Ananias³⁶⁷ coming in¹⁵²⁵, and²⁵³² putting²⁰⁰⁷ his hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ on²⁰⁰⁷ him⁸⁴⁶, that³⁷⁰⁴ he might receive his sight³⁰⁸.

Then¹¹⁶¹ Ananias³⁶⁷ answered⁶¹¹, Master²⁹⁶², I have heard¹⁹¹ by⁵⁷⁵ many⁴¹⁸³ of⁴⁰¹² this⁵¹²⁷ man⁴³⁵, how much³⁷⁴⁵ evil²⁵⁵⁶ he hath done⁴¹⁶⁰ to thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ saints⁴⁰ at¹⁷²² Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹:

And²⁵³² here⁵⁶⁰² he hath²¹⁹² authority¹⁸⁴⁹ from³⁸⁴⁴ the chief priests⁷⁴⁹ to bind¹²¹⁰ all³⁹⁵⁶ that call¹⁹⁴¹ on thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ name³⁶⁸⁶.

But¹¹⁶¹ the Master²⁹⁶² said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ him⁸⁴⁶, Go thy way⁴¹⁹⁸: for³⁷⁵⁴ he³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ a chosen¹⁵⁸⁹ vessel⁴⁶³² unto me³⁴²⁷, to bear⁹⁴¹ my³⁴⁵⁰ name³⁶⁸⁶ before¹⁷⁹⁹ the Gentiles¹⁴⁸⁴, and²⁵³² kings⁹³⁵, and⁵⁰³⁷ the children⁵²⁰⁷ of Israel²⁴⁷⁴:

Isaiah 52:11

For¹⁰⁶³ I¹⁴⁷³ will shew⁵²⁶³ him⁸⁴⁶ how great things³⁷⁴⁵ he⁸⁴⁶ must¹¹⁶³ suffer³⁹⁵⁸ for⁵²²⁸ my³⁴⁵⁰ name's sake³⁶⁸⁶.

And¹¹⁶¹ Ananias³⁶⁷ went his way⁵⁶⁵, and²⁵³² entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the house³⁶¹⁴; and²⁵³² putting²⁰⁰⁷ his hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ on¹⁹⁰⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ said²⁰³⁶, Brother⁸⁰ Saul⁴⁵⁴⁹, the Master²⁹⁶², even Yahshua²⁴²⁴, that appeared³⁷⁰⁰ unto thee⁴⁶⁷¹ in¹⁷²² the way³⁵⁹⁸ as³⁷³⁹ thou camest²⁰⁶⁴, hath sent⁶⁴⁹ me³¹⁶⁵, that³⁷⁰⁴ thou mightest receive thy sight³⁰⁸, and²⁵³² be filled with⁴¹³⁰ the Holy⁴⁰ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹.

And²⁵³² immediately²¹¹² there fell⁶³⁴ from⁵⁷⁵ his⁸⁴⁶ eyes³⁷⁸⁸ as⁵⁶¹⁶ it had been scales³⁰¹³: and he received sight³⁰⁸ forthwith³⁹¹⁶, and⁵⁰³⁷ arose⁴⁵⁰, and²⁵³² was baptized⁹⁰⁷.

And²⁵³² when he had received²⁹⁸³ meat⁵¹⁶⁰, he was strengthened¹⁷⁶⁵. Then¹¹⁶¹ was¹⁰⁹⁶ Saul⁴⁵⁶⁹ certain⁵¹⁰⁰ days²²⁵⁰ with³³²⁶ the disciples³¹⁰¹ which were at¹⁷²² Damascus¹¹⁵⁴.

And²⁵³² straightway²¹¹² he preached²⁷⁸⁴ Messiah⁵⁵⁴⁷ in¹⁷²² the synagogues⁴⁸⁶⁴, that³⁷⁵⁴ he³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ the Son⁵²⁰⁷ of Elohim²³¹⁶.

But¹¹⁶¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ that heard¹⁹¹ him were amazed¹⁸³⁹, and²⁵³² said³⁰⁰⁴; Is²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ this³⁷⁷⁸ he that destroyed⁴¹⁹⁹ them which³⁵⁸⁸ called on¹⁹⁴¹ this⁵¹²⁴ name³⁶⁸⁶ in¹⁷²² Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹, and²⁵³² came²⁰⁶⁴ hither⁵⁶⁰² for¹⁵¹⁹ that⁵¹²⁴ intent¹⁵¹⁹, that²⁴⁴³ he might bring⁷¹ them⁸⁴⁶ bound¹²¹⁰ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ the chief priests⁷⁴⁹?

But¹¹⁶¹ Saul⁴⁵⁶⁹ increased¹⁷⁴³ the more³¹²³ in strength¹⁷⁴³, and²⁵³² confounded⁴⁷⁹⁷ the Jews²⁴⁵³ which³⁵⁸⁸ dwelt²⁷³⁰ at¹⁷²² Damascus¹¹⁵⁴, proving⁴⁸²² that³⁷⁵⁴ this³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ very Messiah⁵⁵⁴⁷.

And¹¹⁶¹ after⁵⁶¹³ that many²⁴²⁵ days²²⁵⁰ were fulfilled⁴¹³⁷, the Jews²⁴⁵³ took counsel⁴⁸²³ to kill³³⁷ him⁸⁴⁶:

But¹¹⁶¹ their⁸⁴⁶ laying await¹⁹¹⁷ was known¹⁰⁹⁷ of Saul⁴⁵⁶⁹. And⁵⁰³⁷ they watched³⁹⁰⁶ the gates⁴⁴³⁹ day²²⁵⁰ and²⁵³² night³⁵⁷¹ to³⁷⁰⁴ kill³³⁷ him⁸⁴⁶.

Then¹¹⁶¹ the disciples³¹⁰¹ took²⁹⁸³ him⁸⁴⁶ by night³⁵⁷¹, and let him down²⁵²⁴ by¹²²³ the wall⁵⁰³⁸ in¹⁷²² a basket⁴⁷¹¹.

And¹¹⁶¹ when Saul⁴⁵⁶⁹ was come³⁸⁵⁴ to¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹, he assayed³⁹⁸⁷ to join himself²⁸⁵³ to the disciples³¹⁰¹: but²⁵³² they were⁵³⁹⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ afraid⁵³⁹⁹ of him⁸⁴⁶, and believed⁴¹⁰⁰ not³³⁶¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ he was²⁰⁷⁶ a disciple³¹⁰¹.

But¹¹⁶¹ Barnabas⁹²¹ took¹⁹⁴⁹ him⁸⁴⁶, and brought⁷¹ him to⁴³¹⁴ the apostles⁶⁵², and²⁵³² declared¹³³⁴ unto them⁸⁴⁶ how⁴⁴⁵⁹ he had seen¹⁴⁹² the Master²⁹⁶² in¹⁷²² the way³⁵⁹⁸, and²⁵³² that³⁷⁵⁴ he had spoken²⁹⁸⁰ to him⁸⁴⁶, and²⁵³² how⁴⁴⁵⁹ he had preached boldly³⁹⁵⁵ at¹⁷²² Damascus¹¹⁵⁴ in¹⁷²² the name³⁶⁸⁶ of Yahshua²⁴²⁴.

And²⁵³² he was²²⁵⁸ with³³²⁶ them⁸⁴⁶ coming in¹⁵³¹ and²⁵³² going out¹⁶⁰⁷ at¹⁷²² Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹.

And²⁵³² he spake²⁹⁸⁰ boldly³⁹⁵⁵ in¹⁷²² the name³⁶⁸⁶ of the Master²⁹⁶² Yahshua²⁴²⁴, and⁵⁰³⁷ disputed⁴⁸⁰² against⁴³¹⁴ the Grecians¹⁶⁷⁵: but¹¹⁶¹ they went about²⁰²¹ to slay³³⁷ him⁸⁴⁶.

Which when¹¹⁶¹ the brethren⁸⁰ knew¹⁹²¹, they brought²⁶⁰⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ down²⁶⁰⁹ to¹⁵¹⁹ Caesarea²⁵⁴², and²⁵³² sent¹⁸²¹ him⁸⁴⁶ forth¹⁸²¹ to¹⁵¹⁹ Tarsus⁵⁰¹⁹.

Then³³⁰³ had²¹⁹² the assemblies¹⁵⁷⁷ rest¹⁵¹⁵ throughout²⁵⁹⁶ all³⁶⁵⁰ Judaea²⁴⁴⁹ and²⁵³² Galilee¹⁰⁵⁶ and²⁵³² Samaria⁴⁵⁴⁰, and were edified³⁶¹⁸; and²⁵³² walking in⁴¹⁹⁸ the fear⁵⁴⁰¹ of Yahweh²⁹⁶², and²⁵³² in the comfort³⁸⁷⁴ of the Holy⁴⁰ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹, were multiplied⁴¹²⁹.

And¹¹⁶¹ it came¹⁰⁹⁶ to pass, as¹³³⁰ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ passed throughout¹³³⁰ all³⁹⁵⁶ quarters, he came down²⁷¹⁸ also²⁵³² to⁴³¹⁴ the saints⁴⁰ which³⁵⁸⁸ dwelt²⁷³⁰ at Lydda³⁰⁶⁹.

And¹¹⁶¹ there¹⁵⁶³ he found²¹⁴⁷ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ man⁴⁴⁴ named³⁶⁸⁶ Aeneas¹³², which had kept²⁶²¹ his bed²⁸⁹⁵ eight³⁶³⁸ years²⁰⁹⁴, and³⁷³⁹ was²²⁵⁸ sick of the palsy³⁸⁸⁶.

And²⁵³² Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ said²⁰³⁶ unto him⁸⁴⁶, Aeneas¹³², Yahshua²⁴²⁴ Messiah⁵⁵⁴⁷ maketh²³⁹⁰ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ whole²³⁹⁰: arise⁴⁵⁰, and²⁵³² make⁴⁷⁶⁶ thy⁴⁵⁷² bed⁴⁷⁶⁶. And²⁵³² he arose⁴⁵⁰ immediately²¹¹².

And²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ that dwelt²⁷³⁰ at Lydda³⁰⁶⁹ and²⁵³² Saron⁴⁵⁶⁵ saw¹⁴⁹² him⁸⁴⁶, and³⁷⁴⁸ turned¹⁹⁹⁴ to¹⁹⁰⁹ the Master²⁹⁶².

Now¹¹⁶¹ there was²²⁵⁸ at¹⁷²² Joppa²⁴⁴⁵ a certain⁵¹⁰⁰ disciple³¹⁰² named³⁶⁸⁶ Tabitha⁵⁰⁰⁰, which³⁷³⁹ by interpretation¹³²⁹ is called³⁰⁰⁴ Dorcas¹³⁹³: this woman³⁷⁷⁸ was²²⁵⁸ full⁴¹³⁴ of good¹⁸ works²⁰⁴¹ and²⁵³² almsdeeds¹⁶⁵⁴ which³⁷³⁹ she did⁴¹⁶⁰.

And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass¹⁰⁹⁶ in¹⁷²² those¹⁵⁶⁵ days²²⁵⁰, that she was sick⁷⁷⁰, and died⁵⁹⁹: whom when¹¹⁶¹ they⁸⁴⁶ had washed³⁰⁶⁸, they laid⁵⁰⁸⁷ her in¹⁷²² an upper chamber⁵²⁵³.

And¹¹⁶¹ forasmuch as⁵⁶⁰⁷ Lydda³⁰⁶⁹ was nigh¹⁴⁵¹ to Joppa²⁴⁴⁵, and the disciples³¹⁰¹ had heard¹⁹¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ was²⁰⁷⁶ there¹⁷²², they sent⁶⁴⁹ unto⁴³¹⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ two¹⁴¹⁷ men⁴³⁵, desiring³⁸⁷⁰ him that he would³⁶³⁵ not³³⁶¹ delay³⁶³⁵ to come¹³³⁰ to²¹⁹³ them⁸⁴⁶.

Then¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ arose⁴⁵⁰ and went with⁴⁹⁰⁵ them⁸⁴⁶. When he³⁷³⁹ was come³⁸⁵⁴, they brought him³²¹ into¹⁵¹⁹ the upper chamber⁵²⁵³: and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ the widows⁵⁵⁰³ stood by³⁹³⁶ him⁸⁴⁶ weeping²⁷⁹⁹, and²⁵³² shewing¹⁹²⁵ the coats⁵⁵⁰⁹ and²⁵³² garments²⁴⁴⁰ which³⁷⁴⁵ Dorcas¹³⁹³ made⁴¹⁶⁰, while she was⁵⁶⁰⁷ with³³²⁶ them⁸⁴⁶.

But¹¹⁶¹ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ put¹⁵⁴⁴ them all³⁹⁵⁶ forth¹⁸⁵⁴, and kneeled down⁵⁰⁸⁷, and prayed⁴³³⁶; and²⁵³² turning¹⁹⁹⁴ him to⁴³¹⁴ the body⁴⁹⁸³ said²⁰³⁶, Tabitha⁵⁰⁰⁰, arise⁴⁵⁰. And¹¹⁶¹ she opened⁴⁵⁵ her⁸⁴⁶ eyes³⁷⁸⁸: and²⁵³² when she saw¹⁴⁹² Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴, she sat up³³⁹.

And¹¹⁶¹ he gave¹³²⁵ her⁸⁴⁶ his hand⁵⁴⁹⁵, and lifted⁴⁵⁰ her⁸⁴⁶ up⁴⁵⁰, and¹¹⁶¹ when he had called⁵⁴⁵⁵ the saints⁴⁰ and²⁵³² widows⁵⁵⁰³, presented³⁹³⁶ her⁸⁴⁶ alive²¹⁹⁸.

And¹¹⁶¹ it was¹⁰⁹⁶ known¹¹¹⁰ throughout²⁵⁹⁶ all³⁶⁵⁰ Joppa²⁴⁴⁵; and²⁵³² many⁴¹⁸³ believed⁴¹⁰⁰ in¹⁹⁰⁹ the Master²⁹⁶².

And¹¹⁶¹ it came to pass¹⁰⁹⁶, that he⁸⁴⁶ tarried³³⁰⁶ many²⁴²⁵ days²²⁵⁰ in¹⁷²² Joppa²⁴⁴⁵ with³⁸⁴⁴ one⁵¹⁰⁰ Simon⁴⁶¹³ a tanner¹⁰³⁸.
