  Acts   chapter 9

   1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and
  slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went
  unto the high priest,
   2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the
  synagogues, that if 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, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard
  for thee to kick against the pricks.
   6 And he trembling and astonished 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.
   9 And he was three days without sight, and neither
  did eat nor drink.
  10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus,
  named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision,
  Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
  11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the
  street which is called Straight, and inquire in the
  house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for,
  behold, he prayeth,
  12 And hath seen in a vision a 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:
  14 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
  a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the
  Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
  16 For I will shew him how great things he must
  suffer for my name's sake.
  17 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 camest, hath sent me, that thou
  mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the
  Holy Ghost.
  18 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.
  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 hither 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 Damascus, proving
  that this is very Christ.
  23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews
  took counsel to kill him:
  24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they
  watched the gates day and night to kill him.
  25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him
  down by the wall in a basket.
  26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to
  join himself to the disciples: but they were all
  afraid of him, and believed not that he was a
  disciple.
  27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the
  apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the
  Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and
  how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of
  Jesus.
  28 And he was with them coming in and going out at
  Jerusalem.
  29 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 Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
  31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea
  and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and
  walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort
  of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
  32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout
  all quarters, he came down also to the saints which
  dwelt at Lydda.
  33 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas,
  which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of
  the palsy.
  34 And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ
  maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he
  arose immediately.
  35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and
  turned to the Lord.
  36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named
  Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas:
  this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which
  she did.
  37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was
  sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid
  her in an upper chamber.
  38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the
  disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent
  unto him two men, desiring him that he would not
  delay to come to them.
  39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was
  come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and
  all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the
  coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was
  with them.
  40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down,
  and prayed; and turning him to the body said,
  Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she
  saw Peter, she sat up.
  41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and
  when he had called the saints and widows, presented
  her alive.
  42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many
  believed in the Lord.
  43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in
  Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
