2: Having heard_G0191 then_G1161 that_G3754 in the_G3588 Hebrew_G1446 language_G1258 he was addressing_G4377 them,_G0846 even more_G3123 they became_G3930 quiet._G2271 And_G2532 he says,_G5346

3: I_G1473 am_G1510 a man,_G0435 a Jew,_G2453 born_G1080 in_G1722 Tarsus_G5019 -_G3588 of Cilicia,_G2791 brought up_G0397 now_G1161 in_G1722 the_G3588 city_G4172 this_G3778 at_G3844 the_G3588 feet_G4228 of Gamaliel,_G1059 having been instructed_G3811 according to [the]_G2596 exactness_G0195 of the_G3588 of our fathers_G3971 law,_G3551 a zealous one_G2207 being_G5225 -_G3588 for God,_G2316 even as_G2531 all_G3956 you_G4771 are_G1510 this day;_G4594

4: who_G3739 this_G3778 -_G3588 Way_G3598 persecuted_G1377 as far as_G0891 death,_G2288 binding_G1195 and_G2532 betraying_G3860 to_G1519 prisons_G5438 men_G0435 both_G5037 and_G2532 women,_G1135

5: as_G5613 also_G2532 the_G3588 high priest_G0749 bears witness_G3140 to me,_G1473 and_G2532 all_G3956 the_G3588 elderhood;_G4244 from_G3844 whom_G3739 also_G2532 letters,_G1992 having received_G1209 to_G4314 the_G3588 brothers,_G0080 to_G1519 Damascus_G1154 I was on my way_G4198 to bring_G0071 also_G2532 those_G3588 there_G1566 being,_G1510 bound_G1210 to_G1519 Jerusalem,_G2419 in order that_G2443 they might be punished._G5097

6: It happened_G1096 however_G1161 to me_G1473 journeying_G4198 and_G2532 drawing near_G1448 -_G3588 to Damascus,_G1154 about_G4012 noon,_G3314 suddenly_G1810 out of_G1537 -_G3588 heaven_G3772 shone_G4015 a light_G5457 great_G2425 around_G4012 me._G1473

7: I fell_G4098 then_G5037 to_G1519 the_G3588 ground_G1475 and_G2532 heard_G0191 a voice_G5456 saying_G3004 to me,_G1473 Saul,_G4549 Saul,_G4549 why_G5101 Me_G1473 persecute you?_G1377

8: I_G1473 then_G1161 answered,_G0611 Who_G5101 are You,_G1510 Lord?_G2962 He said_G2036 then_G5037 to_G4314 me,_G1473 I_G1473 am_G1510 Jesus_G2424 of_G3588 Nazareth,_G3480 whom_G3739 you_G4771 are persecuting._G1377

9: Those_G3588 then_G1161 with_G4862 me_G1473 being,_G1510 the_G3588 indeed_G3303 light_G5457 beheld;_G2300 the_G3588 however_G1161 voice_G5456 not_G3756 did they hear_G0191 of the [One]_G3588 speaking_G2980 to me._G1473

10: I said_G2036 then,_G1161 What_G5101 shall I do,_G4160 Lord?_G2962 -_G3588 And_G1161 the Lord_G2962 said_G2036 to_G4314 me,_G1473 Having risen up_G0450 go_G4198 to_G1519 Damascus,_G1154 and there_G2546 you_G4771 it will be told_G2980 concerning_G4012 all things_G3956 that_G3739 it has been appointed_G5021 you_G4771 to do._G4160

11: While_G5613 now,_G1161 not_G3756 I could see_G1689 from_G0575 the_G3588 brightness_G1391 of the_G3588 light_G5457 that,_G1565 being led by the hand_G5496 by_G5259 those_G3588 being with_G4895 me,_G1473 I came_G2064 to_G1519 Damascus._G1154

12: Ananias_G0367 then_G1161 certain,_G5100 a man_G0435 devout_G2126 according to_G2596 the_G3588 law,_G3551 borne witness to_G3140 by_G5259 all_G3956 the_G3588 dwelling [there]_G2730 Jews,_G2453

13: having come_G2064 to_G4314 me_G1473 and_G2532 having stood by [me],_G2186 said_G2036 to me,_G1473 Saul_G4549 brother,_G0080 receive your sight._G0308 And I_G2504 the same_G0846 -_G3588 hour_G5610 looked up_G0308 at_G1519 him._G0846

14: -_G3588 And_G1161 he said,_G2036 The_G3588 God_G2316 of the_G3588 fathers_G3962 of us_G1473 has appointed_G4400 you_G4771 to know_G1097 the_G3588 will_G2307 of Him,_G0846 and_G2532 to see_G3708 the_G3588 Righteous One,_G1342 and_G2532 to hear_G0191 [the] voice_G5456 out of_G1537 the_G3588 mouth_G4750 of Him._G0846

15: For_G3754 you will be_G1510 a witness_G3144 for Him_G0846 to_G4314 all_G3956 men_G0444 of what_G3739 you have seen_G3708 and_G2532 heard._G0191

16: And_G2532 now_G3568 why_G5101 delay you?_G3195 Having arisen,_G0450 be baptized_G0907 and_G2532 wash away_G0628 the_G3588 sins_G0266 of you,_G4771 calling on_G1941 the_G3588 name_G3686 of Him._G0846

17: It happened_G1096 then_G1161 to me,_G1473 having returned_G5290 to_G1519 Jerusalem,_G2419 and_G2532 praying_G4336 of my_G1473 in_G1722 the_G3588 temple,_G2411 fell_G1096 I_G1473 into_G1722 a trance_G1611

18: and_G2532 saw_G3708 Him_G0846 saying_G3004 to me,_G1473 Make haste_G4692 and_G2532 go away_G1831 with_G1722 speed_G5034 out of_G1537 Jerusalem,_G2419 because_G1360 not_G3756 they will receive_G3858 your_G4771 testimony_G3141 about_G4012 Me._G1473

19: And I_G2504 said,_G2036 Lord,_G2962 they themselves_G0846 know_G1987 that_G3754 I_G1473 was_G1510 imprisoning_G5439 and_G2532 beating_G1194 in each_G2596 of those_G3588 synagogues_G4864 those_G3588 believing_G4100 on_G1909 You._G4771

20: And_G2532 when_G3753 was poured out_G1632 the_G3588 blood_G0129 of Stephen,_G4736 the_G3588 witness_G3144 of You,_G4771 also_G2532 I myself_G0846 was_G1510 standing by,_G2186 and_G2532 consenting,_G4909 and_G2532 watching over_G5442 the_G3588 garments_G2440 of those_G3588 killing_G0337 him._G0846

21: And_G2532 He said_G2036 to_G4314 me,_G1473 Go,_G4198 for_G3754 I_G1473 to_G1519 [the] Gentiles_G1484 far away_G3112 will send_G1821 you._G4771

22: They were listening_G0191 now_G1161 to him_G0846 until_G0891 this_G3778 -_G3588 word,_G3056 and_G2532 they lifted up_G1869 the_G3588 voice_G5456 of them,_G0846 saying,_G3004 Away with_G0142 from_G0575 the_G3588 earth,_G1093 the_G3588 such._G5108 Not_G3756 for_G1063 it is fit_G2520 he_G0846 to live!_G2198

23: Were crying out_G2905 then_G5037 they,_G0846 and_G2532 casting off_G4495 the_G3588 garments,_G2440 and_G2532 dust_G2868 throwing_G0906 into_G1519 the_G3588 air._G0109

24: Ordered_G2753 the_G3588 commander_G5506 to be brought_G1521 him_G0846 into_G1519 the_G3588 barracks,_G3925 having directed_G2036 by flogging_G3148 to be examined_G0426 him,_G0846 so that_G2443 he might know_G1921 for_G1223 what_G3739 cause_G0156 like this_G3779 they were crying out_G2019 against him._G0846

25: As_G5613 however_G1161 he stretched forward_G4385 him_G0846 with the_G3588 straps,_G2438 said_G2036 to_G4314 the_G3588 standing by_G2476 centurion_G1543 -_G3588 Paul,_G3972 If_G1487 a man,_G0444 a Roman_G4514 and_G2532 uncondemned,_G0178 it is lawful_G1832 to you_G4771 to flog?_G3147

26: Having heard_G0191 then_G1161 the_G3588 centurion,_G1543 having gone_G4334 to the_G3588 commander,_G5506 he reported [it],_G0518 saying,_G3004 What_G5101 are you going_G3195 to do?_G4160 The_G3588 for_G1063 man_G0444 this_G3778 a Roman_G4514 is._G1510

27: Having come near_G4334 then,_G1161 the_G3588 commander_G5506 said_G2036 to him,_G0846 Tell_G3004 me,_G1473 you_G4771 a Roman_G4514 are?_G1510 -_G3588 And_G1161 he was saying,_G5346 Yes._G3483

28: Answered_G0611 then_G1161 the_G3588 commander,_G5506 I_G1473 with a great_G4183 sum_G2774 the_G3588 citizenship_G4174 this_G3778 bought._G2932 -_G3588 But_G1161 Paul_G3972 was saying,_G5346 I_G1473 however_G1161 even_G2532 was born [so]._G1080

29: Immediately_G2112 therefore_G3767 departed_G0868 from_G0575 him_G0846 those_G3588 being about_G3195 him_G0846 to examine,_G0426 and_G2532 the_G3588 commander_G5506 also_G1161 was afraid,_G5399 having ascertained_G1921 that_G3754 a Roman_G4514 he is,_G1510 and_G2532 because_G3754 him_G0846 he had_G1510 bound._G1210

30: On the_G3588 now_G1161 next day,_G1887 desiring_G1014 to know_G1097 -_G3588 for certain_G0804 -_G3588 why_G5101 he is accused_G2723 by_G5259 the_G3588 Jews,_G2453 he unbound_G3089 him_G0846 and_G2532 commanded_G2753 to assemble_G4905 the_G3588 chief priests_G0749 and_G2532 all_G3956 the_G3588 council._G4892 And_G2532 having brought down_G2609 -_G3588 Paul,_G3972 he set [him]_G2476 among_G1519 them._G0846
