Men [0435], brethren [0080], and [2532] fathers [3962], hear ye [0191] [5657] my [3450] defence [0627] [which I make] now [3568] unto [4314] you [5209].
2
(And [1161] when they heard [0191] [5660] that [3754] he spake [4377] [5707] in the Hebrew [1446] tongue [1258] to them [0846], they kept [3930] [5627] the more [3123] silence [2271]: and [2532] he saith [5346] [5748])
3
I [1473] am [1510] [5748] verily [3303] a man [0435] [which am] a Jew [2453], born [1080] [5772] in [1722] Tarsus [5019], [a city] in Cilicia [2791], yet [1161] brought up [0397] [5772] in [1722] this [5026] city [4172] at [3844] the feet [4228] of Gamaliel [1059], [and] taught [3811] [5772] according [2596] to the perfect manner [0195] of the law [3551] of the fathers [3971], and was [5225] [5723] zealous [2207] toward God [2316], as [2531] ye [5210] all [3956] are [2075] [5748] this day [4594].
4
And I [3739] persecuted [1377] [5656] this [5026] way [3598] unto [0891] the death [2288], binding [1195] [5723] and [2532] delivering [3860] [5723] into [1519] prisons [5438] both [5037] men [0435] and [2532] women [1135].
5
As [5613] also [2532] the high priest [0749] doth bear [3140] [0000] me [3427] witness [3140] [5719], and [2532] all [3956] the estate of the elders [4244]: from [3844] whom [3739] also [2532] I received [1209] [5666] letters [1992] unto [4314] the brethren [0080], and [2532] went [4198] [5711] to [1519] Damascus [1154], to bring [0071] [5694] them which were [5607] [5752] there [1566] bound [1210] [5772] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2419], for to [2443] be punished [5097] [5686].
6
And [1161] it came to pass [1096] [5633], that, as I made [4198] [0000] my [3427] journey [4198] [5740], and [2532] was come nigh [1448] [5723] unto Damascus [1154] about [4012] noon [3314], suddenly [1810] there shone [4015] [0000] from [1537] heaven [3772] a great [2425] light [5457] round [4015] [5658] about [4012] me [1691].
7
And [5037] I fell [4098] [5627] unto [1519] the ground [1475], and [2532] heard [0191] [5656] a voice [5456] saying [3004] [5723] unto me [3427], Saul [4549], Saul [4549], why [5101] persecutest thou [1377] [5719] me [3165]?
8
And [1161] I [1473] answered [0611] [5662], Who [5101] art thou [1488] [5748], Lord [2962]? And [5037] he said [2036] [5627] unto [4314] me [3165], I [1473] am [1510] [5748] Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3480], whom [3739] thou [4771] persecutest [1377] [5719].
9
And [1161] they that were [5607] [5752] with [4862] me [1698] saw [2300] [5662] indeed [3303] the light [5457], and [2532] were [1096] [5633] afraid [1719]; but [1161] they heard [0191] [5656] not [3756] the voice [5456] of him that spake [2980] [5723] to me [3427].
10
And [1161] I said [2036] [5627], What [5101] shall I do [4160] [5661], Lord [2962]? And [1161] the Lord [2962] said [2036] [5627] unto [4314] me [3165], Arise [0450] [5631], and go [4198] [5737] into [1519] Damascus [1154]; and there [2546] it shall be told [2980] [5701] thee [4671] of [4012] all things [3956] which [3739] are appointed [5021] [5769] for thee [4671] to do [4160] [5658].
11
And [1161] when [5613] I could [1689] [0000] not [3756] see [1689] [5707] for [0575] the glory [1391] of that [1565] light [5457], being led by the hand [5496] [5746] of [5259] them that were [4895] [5752] with me [3427], I came [2064] [5627] into [1519] Damascus [1154].
12
And [1161] one [5100] Ananias [0367], a devout [2152] man [0435] according [2596] to the law [3551], having a good report [3140] [5746] of [5259] all [3956] the Jews [2453] which dwelt [2730] [5723] [there],
13
Came [2064] [5631] unto [4314] me [3165], and [2532] stood [2186] [5631], and said [2036] [5627] unto me [3427], Brother [0080] Saul [4549], receive thy sight [0308] [5657]. And [2504] [0000] the same [0846] hour [5610] I [2504] looked up [0308] [5656] upon [1519] him [0846].
14
And [1161] he said [2036] [5627], The God [2316] of our [2257] fathers [3962] hath chosen [4400] [5662] thee [4571], that thou shouldest know [1097] [5629] his [0848] will [2307], and [2532] see [1492] [5629] that Just One [1342], and [2532] shouldest hear [0191] [5658] the voice [5456] of [1537] his [0846] mouth [4750].
15
For [3754] thou shalt be [2071] [5704] his [0846] witness [3144] unto [4314] all [3956] men [0444] of what [3739] thou hast seen [3708] [5758] and [2532] heard [0191] [5656].
16
And [2532] now [3568] why [5101] tarriest thou [3195] [5719]? arise [0450] [5631], and be baptized [0907] [5669], and [2532] wash away [0628] [5669] thy [4675] sins [0266], calling on [1941] [5671] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962].
17
And [1161] it came to pass [1096] [5633], that, when I [3427] was come again [5290] [5660] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419], even [2532] while I [3450] prayed [4336] [5740] in [1722] the temple [2411], I [3165] was [1096] [5635] in [1722] a trance [1611];
18
And [2532] saw [1492] [5629] him [0846] saying [3004] [5723] unto me [3427], Make haste [4692] [5657], and [2532] get thee [1831] [5628] quickly [5034] [1722] out of [1537] Jerusalem [2419]: for [1360] they will [3858] [0000] not [3756] receive [3858] [5699] thy [4675] testimony [3141] concerning [4012] me [1700].
19
And I [2504] said [2036] [5627], Lord [2962], they [0846] know [1987] [5736] that [3754] I [1473] imprisoned [2252] [5713] [5439] [5723] and [2532] beat [1194] [5723] in every [2596] synagogue [4864] them that believed [4100] [5723] on [1909] thee [4571]:
20
And [2532] when [3753] the blood [0129] of thy [4675] martyr [3144] Stephen [4736] was shed [1632] [5712], I [0846] also [2532] was [2252] [5713] standing by [2186] [5761], and [2532] consenting [4909] [5723] unto his [0846] death [0336], and [2532] kept [5442] [5723] the raiment [2440] of them that slew [0337] [5723] him [0846].
21
And [2532] he said [2036] [5627] unto [4314] me [3165], Depart [4198] [5737]: for [3754] I [1473] will send [1821] [5692] thee [4571] far hence [3112] unto [1519] the Gentiles [1484].
22
And [1161] they gave [0191] [0000] him [0846] audience [0191] [5707] unto [0891] this [5127] word [3056], and [2532] [then] lifted up [1869] [5656] their [0848] voices [5456], and said [3004] [5723], Away with [0142] [5720] such [5108] a [fellow] from [0575] the earth [1093]: for [1063] it is [2520] [0000] not [3756] fit [2520] [5723] that he [0846] should live [2198] [5721].
23
And [1161] as they cried out [2905] [5723], and [2532] cast off [4495] [5723] [their] clothes [2440], and [2532] threw [0906] [5723] dust [2868] into [1519] the air [0109],
24
The chief captain [5506] commanded [2753] [5656] him [0846] to be brought [0071] [5745] into [1519] the castle [3925], and bade [2036] [5631] that he [0846] should be examined [0426] [5745] by scourging [3148]; that [2443] he might know [1921] [5632] wherefore [1223] [3739] [0156] they cried [2019] [0000] so [3779] against [2019] [5707] him [0846].
25
And [1161] as [5613] they bound [4385] [5656] [5625] [4385] [5656] him [0846] with thongs [2438], Paul [3972] said [2036] [5627] unto [4314] the centurion [1543] that stood by [2476] [5761], Is it lawful [1487] [1832] [5748] for you [5213] to scourge [3147] [5721] a man [0444] that is a Roman [4514], and [2532] uncondemned [0178]?
26
When [1161] the centurion [1543] heard [0191] [5660] [that], he went [4334] [5631] and told [0518] [5656] the chief captain [5506], saying [3004] [5723], Take heed [3708] [5720] what [5101] thou doest [3195] [5719] [4160] [5721]: for [1063] this [3778] man [0444] is [2076] [5748] a Roman [4514].
27
Then [1161] the chief captain [5506] came [4334] [5631], and said [2036] [5627] unto him [0846], Tell [3004] [5720] me [3427], [1487] art [1488] [5748] thou [4771] a Roman [4514]? [1161] He said [5346] [5713], Yea [3483].
28
And [5037] the chief captain [5506] answered [0611] [5662], With a great [4183] sum [2774] obtained [2932] [5662] I [1473] this [5026] freedom [4174]. And [1161] Paul [3972] said [5346] [5713], But [1161] I [1473] [2532] was [free] born [1080] [5769].
29
Then [3767] straightway [2112] they departed [0868] [5627] from [0575] him [0846] which [3588] should [3195] [5723] have examined [0426] [5721] him [0846]: and [1161] the chief captain [5506] also [2532] was afraid [5399] [5675], after he knew [1921] [5631] that [3754] he was [2076] [5748] a Roman [4514], and [2532] because [3754] he had [2258] [5713] bound [1210] [5761] him [0846].
30
1161 On the morrow [1887], because he would [1014] [5740] have known [1097] [5629] the certainty [0804] wherefore [5101] he was accused [2723] [5743] of [3844] the Jews [2453], he loosed [3089] [5656] him [0846] from [0575] [his] bands [1199], and [2532] commanded [2753] [5656] the chief priests [0749] and [2532] all [3650] their [0846] council [4892] to appear [2064] [5629], and [2532] brought [2609] [0000] Paul [3972] down [2609] [5631], and set him [2476] [5656] before [1519] them [0846].
