priest,
 2. And desired of him letters to Damascus to tine synagogues, that ,f he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
 3. And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
 > 4. And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
 5. And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, 1 am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the bricks.
 6. And he trembling and astonish- ed said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and | it shall be told thee what thou must do. | 7. And the men which journeyed | with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. 8. And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. g. And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. 10 And there was a certain dis ciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, 1 am here, Lord.
 II. And tLe Lord said untos him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
 12. And hath seen in vision man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight. 13. Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
 IA. And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
 15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is chosen ves- sel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the child ren of Israel:
 16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my names sake. .tA @t IF. And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou earnest, l hot Oh O. ceive tn. sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
 IS. And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
 | 19. And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. 20. And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. t
 21. But all that heard him were amazed, and said: Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hlther for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests
 22. But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Eamascus, proving ,hat this is very Christ.
 32. And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill l him:
 "A. But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
 % Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in wicker basket. l 26. And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afriad of him, and believed not that he was disciple.
 27. But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and de- clared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way and that he had spok- en to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 7
 2S. And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
 20. And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
 30. Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caes' area, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
 31. Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee anc Samaria, and were edified; and walk ing in the fear of the Lord, and IT the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied W 32. i4Md it came to pass, as Pete' passed throughout all quarters, ii' came down also to the saints Whicl dwelt at Lyda.

 34. And Peter said unto him Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh the whole: arise, and make thy bed. An he arose immediately. 35. And all that dwelt at Lyda an Saron saw him. and turned to tn Lord.
