Acts 9 — Scripture text (King James Version)
And1161 4569, yet2089 breathing out1709 threatenings547 and2532 slaughter5408 against1519 the disciples3101 of the Lord2962, went4334 unto the high priest749, And desired154 of3844 him846 letters1992 to1519 1154 to4314 the synagogues4864, that3704 if1437 he found2147 any5100 of this way3598, whether5037 they were5607 men435 or2532 women1135, he might bring them71 bound1210 unto1519 2419. of this way: Gr. of the way And1161 as he846 journeyed4198 1722, he came1096 near1448 1154: and2532 suddenly1810 there shined round about4015 him846 a light5457 from575 heaven3772: And2532 he fell4098 to1909 the earth1093, and heard191 a voice5456 saying3004 unto him846, 4549, 4549, why5101 persecutest thou1377 me3165? And1161 he said2036, Who5101 art thou1488, Lord2962? And1161 the Lord2962 said2036, I1473 am1510 2424 whom3739 thou4771 persecutest1377: it is hard4642 for thee4671 to kick2979 against4314 the pricks2759. And5037 he trembling5141 and2532 astonished2284 said2036, Lord2962, what5101 wilt thou have2309 me3165 to do4160? And2532 the Lord2962 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 3303 a voice5456, but1161 seeing2334 no man3367. And1161 4569 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 1154. And2532 he was2258 three5140 days2250 without3361 sight991, and2532 neither3756 did eat5315 nor3761 drink4095. And1161 there was2258 a certain5100 disciple3101 at1722 1154, named3686 367; and2532 to4314 him846 said2036 the Lord2962 in1722 a 3705, 367. And1161 he said2036, Behold2400, I1473 am here, Lord2962. And1161 the Lord2962 said unto4314 him846, Arise450, and go4198 into1909 the street4505 which3588 is called2564 Straight2117, and2532 enquire2212 in1722 the house3614 of Judas2455 for one called3686 4569, of 5018: for1063, behold2400, he prayeth4336, And2532 hath seen1492 in1722 a 3705 a man435 named3686 367 coming in1525, and2532 putting2007 his hand5495 2007 him846, that3704 he might receive his sight308. Then1161 367 answered611, Lord2962, I have heard191 by575 many4183 of4012 this5127 man435, how much3745 evil2556 he hath done4160 to thy4675 saints40 at1722 2419: And2532 here5602 he hath2192 authority1849 from3844 the chief priests749 to bind1210 all3956 that call1941 thy4675 name3686. But1161 the Lord2962 said2036 unto4314 him846, Go thy way4198: for3754 he3778 is2076 a chosen1589 vessel4632 unto me3427, to 941 my3450 name3686 before1799 the 1484, and2532 kings935, and5037 the children5207 of 2474: For1063 I1473 will shew5263 him846 how great things3745 he846 must1163 suffer3958 for5228 my3450 name's sake3686 5228. And1161 367 went his way565, and2532 entered1525 into1519 the house3614; and2532 putting2007 his hands5495 1909 him846 said2036, Brother80 4549, the Lord2962, even 2424, 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 Ghost4151. 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 4569 certain5100 days2250 with3326 the disciples3101 which were at1722 1154. And2532 straightway2112 he preached2784 5547 in1722 the synagogues4864, that3754 he3778 is2076 the Son5207 of God2316. But1161 all3956 that heard191 him were amazed1839, and2532 said3004; Is2076 not3756 this3778 he that destroyed4199 them which3588 called 1941 this5124 name3686 in1722 2419, and2532 came2064 hither5602 for1519 that5124 intent1519, that2443 he might bring71 them846 bound1210 unto1909 the chief priests749? But1161 4569 increased1743 the more3123 in strength1743, and2532 confounded4797 the 2453 which3588 dwelt2730 at1722 1154, proving4822 that3754 this3778 is2076 very 5547. And1161 after5613 that many2425 days2250 were fulfilled4137, the 2453 took counsel4823 to kill337 him846: But1161 their846 laying await1917 was known1097 of 4569. And5037 they watched3906 the gates4439 day2250 and2532 night3571 to3704 kill337 him846. Then1161 the disciples3101 took2983 him846 by night3571, and let him down2524 5465 by1223 the wall5038 in1722 a basket4711. And1161 when 4569 was come3854 to1519 2419, he assayed3987 to join himself2853 to the disciples3101: but2532 they were5399 all3956 afraid5399 of him846, and believed4100 not3361 that3754 he was2076 a disciple3101. But1161 921 took1949 him846, and brought71 him to4314 the apostles652, and2532 declared1334 unto them846 how4459 he had seen1492 the Lord2962 in1722 the way3598, and2532 that3754 he had spoken2980 to him846, and2532 how4459 he had preached boldly3955 at1722 1154 in1722 the name3686 of 2424. And2532 he was2258 with3326 them846 coming in1531 and2532 going out1607 at1722 2419. And2532 he spake2980 boldly3955 in1722 the name3686 of the Lord2962 2424, and5037 2532 disputed4802 against4314 the Grecians1675: but1161 they went about2021 to slay337 him846. Which when1161 the brethren80 knew1921, they brought2609 him846 down2609 to1519 2542, and2532 sent1821 him846 forth1821 to1519 5019. Then3303 3767 had2192 the churches1577 rest1515 throughout2596 all3650 Judaea2449 and2532 1056 and2532 4540, and were edified3618; and2532 walking in4198 the fear5401 of the Lord2962, and2532 in the comfort3874 of the Holy40 Ghost4151, were multiplied4129. And1161 it came1096 to pass, as1330 4074 passed throughout1330 1223 all3956 quarters, he came down2718 also2532 to4314 the saints40 which3588 dwelt2730 at 3069. And1161 there1563 he found2147 a certain5100 man444 named3686 Aeneas132, which had kept2621 1909 his bed2895 1537 eight3638 years2094, and3739 was2258 sick of the palsy3886. And2532 4074 said2036 unto him846, Aeneas132, 2424 5547 maketh2390 thee4571 whole2390: arise450, and2532 make4766 thy4572 bed4766. And2532 he arose450 immediately2112. And2532 all3956 that dwelt2730 at 3069 and2532 Saron4565 saw1492 him846, and3748 turned1994 to1909 the Lord2962. Now1161 there was2258 at1722 2445 a certain5100 disciple3102 named3686 5000, which3739 by interpretation1329 is called3004 Dorcas1393: this woman3778 846 was2258 full4134 of good18 works2041 and2532 almsdeeds1654 which3739 she did4160. Dorcas: or, Doe, or, Roe And1161 it came to pass1096 in1722 those1565 days2250, that she was sick770, and died599: whom when1161 they846 had washed3068 846, they laid5087 her in1722 an upper chamber5253. And1161 forasmuch as5607 3069 was nigh1451 to 2445, and the disciples3101 had heard191 that3754 4074 was2076 there1722 846, they sent649 unto4314 him846 two1417 men435, desiring3870 him that he would3635 not3361 delay3635 to come1330 to2193 them846. delay: or, be grieved Then1161 4074 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 4074 1544 them all3956 forth1854, and kneeled down5087 1119, and prayed4336; and2532 turning1994 him to4314 the body4983 said2036, 5000, arise450. And1161 she opened455 her846 eyes3788: and2532 when she saw1492 4074, 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 2445; and2532 many4183 believed4100 in1909 the Lord2962. And1161 it came to pass1096, that he846 tarried3306 many2425 days2250 in1722 2445 with3844 one5100 Simon4613 a tanner1038.
