Acts 9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, MC VC

Acts 9:2 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. MC VC

Acts 9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 8 I MC VC

Acts 9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 6 I MC VC

Acts 9:5 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. 2 I MC VC

Acts 9:6 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. 9 I MC VC

Acts 9:7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. MC VC

Acts 9:8 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. MC VC

Acts 9:9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. MC VC

Acts 9:10 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. MC VC

Acts 9:11 And the Lord said unto 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, MC VC

Acts 9:12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight. MC VC

Acts 9:13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: MC VC

Acts 9:14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name. MC VC

Acts 9:15 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: 2 I MC VC

Acts 9:16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake. MC VC

Acts 9:17 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. 2 I MC VC

Acts 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. MC VC

Acts 9:19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. 2 I MC VC

Acts 9:20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. 2 I MC VC

Acts 9:21 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? MC VC

Acts 9:22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. 4 I MC VC

Acts 9:23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him: MC VC

Acts 9:24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. MC VC

Acts 9:25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket. MC VC

Acts 9:26 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. MC VC

Acts 9:27 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. MC VC

Acts 9:28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem. MC VC

Acts 9:29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. MC VC

Acts 9:30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. MC VC

Acts 9:31 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. 2 I MC VC

Acts 9:32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. MC VC

Acts 9:33 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy. MC VC

Acts 9:34 And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately. MC VC

Acts 9:35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord. MC VC

Acts 9:36 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. MC VC

Acts 9:37 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. MC VC

Acts 9:38 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. MC VC

Acts 9:39 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. MC VC

Acts 9:40 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. 5 I MC VC

Acts 9:41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive. MC VC

Acts 9:42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord. 2 I MC VC

Acts 9:43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner. MC VC

Acts 22:1 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you. MC VC

Acts 22:2 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,) MC VC

Acts 22:3 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. MC VC

Acts 22:4 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. MC VC

Acts 22:5 As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished. MC VC

Acts 22:6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me. MC VC

Acts 22:7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? MC VC

Acts 22:8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. MC VC

Acts 22:9 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me. MC VC

Acts 22:10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do. 5 I MC VC

Acts 22:11 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus. MC VC

Acts 22:12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there, MC VC

Acts 22:13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him. MC VC

Acts 22:14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth. MC VC

Acts 22:15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard. MC VC

Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. MC VC

Acts 22:17 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance; MC VC

Acts 22:18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me. MC VC

Acts 22:19 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee: MC VC

Acts 22:20 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him. MC VC

Acts 22:21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles. MC VC

Acts 22:22 And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live. MC VC

Acts 22:23 And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air, MC VC

Acts 22:24 The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him. MC VC

Acts 22:25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? MC VC

Acts 22:26 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman. MC VC

Acts 22:27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. MC VC

Acts 22:28 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born. MC VC

Acts 22:29 Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. MC VC

Acts 22:30 On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them. MC VC

Acts 26:1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself: MC VC

Acts 26:2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews: MC VC

Acts 26:3 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently. MC VC

Acts 26:4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews; MC VC

Acts 26:5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. MC VC

Acts 26:6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, unto our fathers: MC VC

Acts 26:7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews. MC VC

Acts 26:8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead? MC VC

Acts 26:9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. MC VC

Acts 26:10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them. MC VC

Acts 26:11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities. MC VC

Acts 26:12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, MC VC

Acts 26:13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. MC VC

Acts 26:14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. MC VC

Acts 26:15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. 6 I MC VC

Acts 26:16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; MC VC

Acts 26:17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, MC VC

Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. 2 I MC VC

Acts 26:19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: MC VC

Acts 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. MC VC

Acts 26:21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me. MC VC

Acts 26:22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: MC VC

Acts 26:23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. 2 I MC VC

Acts 26:24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. MC VC

Acts 26:25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. MC VC

Acts 26:26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner. MC VC

Acts 26:27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. MC VC

Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. MC VC

Acts 26:29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. MC VC

Acts 26:30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them: MC VC

Acts 26:31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. MC VC

Acts 26:32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar. MC VC
