ACTS CHAPTER 9
- Acts 9:1 And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the disciples of the Lord, having gone to the chief priest,
- 9:2 did ask from him letters to Damascus, unto the synagogues, that if he may find any being of the way, both men and women, he may bring them bound to Jerusalem.
- 9:3 And in the going, he came nigh to Damascus, and suddenly there shone round about him a light from the heaven,
- 9:4 and having fallen upon the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, 'Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute?'
- 9:5 And he said, 'Who art thou, Lord?' and the Lord said, 'I am Jesus whom thou dost persecute; hard for thee at the pricks to kick;'
- 9:6 trembling also, and astonished, he said, 'Lord, what dost thou wish me to do?' and the Lord [said] unto him, 'Arise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what it behoveth thee to do.'
- 9:7 And the men who are journeying with him stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice but seeing no one,
- 9:8 and Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes having been opened, he beheld no one, and leading him by the hand they brought him to Damascus,
- 9:9 and he was three days without seeing, and he did neither eat nor drink.
- Acts 9:10 And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias, and the Lord said unto him in a vision, 'Ananias;' and he said, 'Behold me, Lord;'
- 9:11 and the Lord [saith] unto him, 'Having risen, go on unto the street that is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, [one] by name Saul of Tarsus, for, lo, he doth pray,
- 9:12 and he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and putting a hand on him, that he may see again.'
- 9:13 And Ananias answered, 'Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Thy saints in Jerusalem,
- 9:14 and here he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Thy name.'
- 9:15 And the Lord said unto him, 'Be going on, because a choice vessel to Me is this one, to bear My name before nations and kings -- the sons also of Israel;
- 9:16 for I will shew him how many things it behoveth him for My name to suffer.'
- 9:17 And Ananias went away, and did enter into the house, and having put upon him [his] hands, said, 'Saul, brother, the Lord hath sent me -- Jesus who did appear to thee in the way in which thou wast coming -- that thou mayest see again, and mayest be filled with the Holy Spirit.'
- 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, he saw again also presently, and having risen, was baptized,
- 9:19 and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days,
- Acts 9:20 and immediately in the synagogues he was preaching the Christ, that he is the Son of God.
- 9:21 And all those hearing were amazed, and said, 'Is not this he who laid waist in Jerusalem those calling on this name, and hither to this intent had come, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?'
- 9:22 And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
- 9:23 And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him,
- 9:24 and their counsel against [him] was known to Saul; they were also watching the gates both day and night, that they may kill him,
- 9:25 and the disciples having taken him, by night did let him down by the wall, letting down in a basket.
- 9:26 And Saul, having come to Jerusalem, did try to join himself to the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple,
- 9:27 and Barnabas having taken him, brought [him] unto the apostles, and did declare to them how in the way he saw the Lord, and that he spake to him, and how in Damascus he was speaking boldly in the name of Jesus.
- 9:28 And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem,
- 9:29 and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, he was both speaking and disputing with the Hellenists, and they were taking in hand to kill him,
- Acts 9:30 and the brethren having known, brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
- 9:31 Then, indeed, the assemblies throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, being built up, and, going on in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
- 9:32 And it came to pass that Peter passing throughout all [quarters], came down also unto the saints who were dwelling at Lydda,
- 9:33 and he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name -- for eight years laid upon a couch -- who was paralytic,
- 9:34 and Peter said to him, 'Aeneas, heal thee doth Jesus the Christ; arise and spread for thyself;' and immediately he rose,
- 9:35 and all those dwelling at Lydda, and Saron saw him, and did turn to the Lord.
- 9:36 And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, (which interpreted, is called Dorcas,) this woman was full of good works and kind acts that she was doing;
- 9:37 and it came to pass in those days she, having ailed, died, and having bathed her, they laid her in an upper chamber,
- 9:38 and Lydda being nigh to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in that [place], sent two men unto him, calling on him not to delay to come through unto them.
- 9:39 And Peter having risen, went with them, whom having come, they brought into the upper chamber, and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing coats and garments, as many as Dorcas was making while she was with them.
- Acts 9:40 And Peter having put them all forth without, having bowed the knees, did pray, and having turned unto the body said, 'Tabitha, arise;' and she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up,
- 9:41 and having given her [his] hand, he lifted her up, and having called the saints and the widows, he presented her alive,
- 9:42 and it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord;
- 9:43 and it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa, with a certain one, Simon a tanner.

ACTS CHAPTER 10
- Acts 10:1 And there was a certain man in Cesarea, by name Cornelius, a centurion from a band called Italian,
- 10:2 pious, and fearing God with all his house, doing also many kind acts to the people, and beseeching God always,
- 10:3 he saw in a vision manifestly, as it were the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, 'Cornelius;'
- 10:4 and he having looked earnestly on him, and becoming afraid, said, 'What is it, Lord?' And he said to him, 'Thy prayers and thy kind acts came up for a memorial before God,
- 10:5 and now send men to Joppa, and send for a certain one Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
- 10:6 this one doth lodge with a certain Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea; this one shall speak to thee what it behoveth thee to do.'
- 10:7 And when the messenger who is speaking to Cornelius went away, having called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier of those waiting on him continually,
- 10:8 and having declared to them all things, he sent them to Joppa.
- 10:9 And on the morrow, as these are proceeding on the way, and are drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour,
- Acts 10:10 and he became very hungry, and wished to eat; and they making ready, there fell upon him a trance,
- 10:11 and he doth behold the heaven opened, and descending unto him a certain vessel, as a great sheet, bound at the four corners, and let down upon the earth,
- 10:12 in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven,
- 10:13 and there came a voice unto him: 'Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.'
- 10:14 And Peter said, 'Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean;'
- 10:15 and [there is] a voice again a second time unto him: 'What God did cleanse, thou, declare not thou common;'
- 10:16 and this was done thrice, and again was the vessel received up to the heaven.
- 10:17 And as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision that he saw might be, then, lo, the men who have been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
- 10:18 and having called, they were asking if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, doth lodge here?
- 10:19 And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, 'Lo, three men do seek thee;
- Acts 10:20 but having risen, go down and go on with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them;'
- 10:21 and Peter having come down unto the men who have been sent from Cornelius unto him, said, 'Lo, I am he whom ye seek, what [is] the cause for which ye are present?'
- 10:22 And they said, 'Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for thee, to his house, and to hear sayings from thee.'
- 10:23 Having called them in, therefore, he lodged them, and on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him,
- 10:24 and on the morrow they did enter into Cesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kindred and near friends,
- 10:25 and as it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at [his] feet, did bow before [him];
- 10:26 and Peter raised him, saying, 'Stand up; I also myself am a man;'
- 10:27 and talking with him he went in, and doth find many having come together.
- 10:28 And he said unto them, 'Ye know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come unto, one of another race, but to me God did shew to call no man common or unclean;
- 10:29 therefore also without gainsaying I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter ye did send for me?'
- Acts 10:30 And Cornelius said, 'Four days ago till this hour, I was fasting, and [at] the ninth hour praying in my house, and, lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
- 10:31 and he said, Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thy kind acts were remembered before God;
- 10:32 send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one doth lodge in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, shall speak to thee;
- 10:33 at once, therefore, I sent to thee; thou also didst do well, having come; now, therefore, are we all before God present to hear all things that have been commanded thee by God.'
- 10:34 And Peter having opened his mouth, said, 'Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,
- 10:35 but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him;
- 10:36 the word that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news -- peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of all,)
- 10:37 ye -- ye have known; -- the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached;
- 10:38 Jesus who [is] from Nazareth -- how God did anoint him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the devil, because God was with him;
- 10:39 and we -- we are witnesses of all things that he did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem, -- whom they did slay, having hanged upon a tree.
- Acts 10:40 'This one God did raise up the third day, and gave him to become manifest,
- 10:41 not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God -- to us who did eat with [him], and did drink with him, after his rising out of the dead;
- 10:42 and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify fully that it is he who hath been ordained by God judge of living and dead --
- 10:43 to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.'
- 10:44 While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy spirit fell upon all those hearing the word,
- 10:45 and those of the circumcision believing were astonished -- as many as came with Peter -- because also upon the nations the gift of the Holy Spirit hath been poured out,
- 10:46 for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and magnifying God.
- 10:47 Then answered Peter, 'The water is any one able to forbid, that these may not be baptized, who the Holy Spirit did receive -- even as also we?'
- 10:48 he commanded them also to be baptized in the name of the Lord; then they besought him to remain certain days.

ACTS CHAPTER 11
- Acts 11:1 And the apostles and the brethren who are in Judea heard that also the nations did receive the word of God,
- 11:2 and when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision were contending with him,
- 11:3 saying -- 'Unto men uncircumcised thou didst go in, and didst eat with them!'
- 11:4 And Peter having begun, did expound to them in order saying,
- 11:5 'I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by four corners being let down out of the heaven, and it came unto me;
- 11:6 at which having looked stedfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of heaven;
- 11:7 and I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, slay and eat;
- 11:8 and I said, Not so, Lord; because anything common or unclean hath at no time entered into my mouth;
- 11:9 and a voice did answer me a second time out of the heaven, What God did cleanse, thou -- declare not thou common.
- Acts 11:10 'And this happened thrice, and again was all drawn up to the heaven,
- 11:11 and, lo, immediately, three men stood at the house in which I was, having been sent from Cesarea unto me,
- 11:12 and the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting, and these six brethren also went with me, and we did enter into the house of the man,
- 11:13 he declared also to us how he saw the messenger in his house standing, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
- 11:14 who shall speak sayings by which thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.
- 11:15 'And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit did fall upon them, even as also upon us in the beginning,
- 11:16 and I remembered the saying of the Lord, how he said, John indeed did baptize with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit;
- 11:17 if then the equal gift God did give to them as also to us, having believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I -- how was I able to withstand God?'
- 11:18 And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, 'Then, indeed, also to the nations did God give the reformation to life.'
- 11:19 Those, indeed, therefore, having been scattered abroad, from the tribulation that came after Stephen, went through unto Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none except to Jews only;
- Acts 11:20 and there were certain of them men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having entered into Antioch, were speaking unto the Hellenists, proclaiming good news -- the Lord Jesus,
- 11:21 and the hand of the Lord was with them, a great number also, having believed, did turn unto the Lord.
- 11:22 And the account was heard in the ears of the assembly that [is] in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go through unto Antioch,
- 11:23 who, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave to the Lord,
- 11:24 because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the Lord.
- 11:25 And Barnabas went forth to Tarsus, to seek for Saul,
- 11:26 and having found him, he brought him to Antioch, and it came to pass that they a whole year did assemble together in the assembly, and taught a great multitude, the disciples also were divinely called first in Antioch Christians.
- 11:27 And in those days there came from Jerusalem prophets to Antioch,
- 11:28 and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, did signify through the Spirit a great dearth is about to be throughout all the world -- which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar --
- 11:29 and the disciples, according as any one was prospering, determined each of them to send for ministration to the brethren dwelling in Judea,
- Acts 11:30 which also they did, having sent unto the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

ACTS CHAPTER 12
- Acts 12:1 And about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands, to do evil to certain of those of the assembly,
- 12:2 and he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword,
- 12:3 and having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added to lay hold of Peter also -- and they were the days of the unleavened food --
- 12:4 whom also having seized, he did put in prison, having delivered [him] to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him, intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people.
- 12:5 Peter, therefore, indeed, was kept in the prison, and fervent prayer was being made by the assembly unto God for him,
- 12:6 and when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains, guards also before the door were keeping the prison,
- 12:7 and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood by, and a light shone in the buildings, and having smitten Peter on the side, he raised him up, saying, 'Rise in haste,' and his chains fell from off [his] hands.
- 12:8 The messenger also said to him, 'Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals;' and he did so; and he saith to him, 'Put thy garment round and be following me;'
- 12:9 and having gone forth, he was following him, and he knew not that it is true that which is done through the messenger, and was thinking he saw a vision,
- Acts 12:10 and having passed through a first ward, and a second, they came unto the iron gate that is leading to the city, which of its own accord did open to them, and having gone forth, they went on through one street, and immediately the messenger departed from him.
- 12:11 And Peter having come to himself, said, 'Now I have known of a truth that the Lord did sent forth His messenger, and did deliver me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews;'
- 12:12 also, having considered, he came unto the house of Mary, the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where there were many thronged together and praying.
- 12:13 And Peter having knocked at the door of the porch, there came a damsel to hearken, by name Rhoda,
- 12:14 and having known the voice of Peter, from the joy she did not open the porch, but having run in, told of the standing of Peter before the porch,
- 12:15 and they said unto her, 'Thou art mad;' and she was confidently affirming [it] to be so, and they said, 'It is his messenger;'
- 12:16 and Peter was continuing knocking, and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished,
- 12:17 and having beckoned to them with the hand to be silent, he declared to them how the Lord brought him out of the prison, and he said, 'Declare to James and to the brethren these things;' and having gone forth, he went on to another place.
- 12:18 And day having come, there was not a little stir among the soldiers what then was become of Peter,
- 12:19 and Herod having sought for him, and not having found, having examined the guards, did command [them] to be led away to punishment, and having gone down from Judea to Cesarea, he was abiding [there].
- Acts 12:20 And Herod was highly displeased with the Tyrians and Sidonians, and with one accord they came unto him, and having made a friend of Blastus, who [is] over the bed-chambers of the king, they were asking peace, because of their country being nourished from the king's;
- 12:21 and on a set day, Herod having arrayed himself in kingly apparel, and having sat down upon the tribunal, was making an oration unto them,
- 12:22 and the populace were shouting, 'The voice of a god, and not of a man;'
- 12:23 and presently there smote him a messenger of the Lord, because he did not give the glory to God, and having been eaten of worms, he expired.
- 12:24 And the word of God did grow and did multiply,
- 12:25 and Barnabas and Saul did turn back out of Jerusalem, having fulfilled the ministration, having taken also with [them] John, who was surnamed Mark.
