1 But Saul still breathing out threats and murder toward the disciples of the Lord, having gone to the high priest,
But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2 requested from him letters in Damascus to the synagogues, so that if any he shall find of the way being men both and women, bound he may bring [them] to Jerusalem.
and asked of him letters to Damascus unto the synagogues, that if he found any that were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 In now proceeding it came to pass [as] he [is] drawing near to Damascus, suddenly (also *N+kO) him flashed around a light (from *N+kO) heaven;
And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus: and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven:
4 And having fallen on the ground he heard a voice saying to him; Saul Saul, why Me do you persecute?
and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 He said then; Who are You, Lord? And [He said] (Lord said: *k) I myself am Jesus whom you yourself are persecuting (hard to you to stingers to kick; *K)
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:
6 (they tremble then and were astonished he said Lord what me you desire to do and the Lord [said] to him *K) (But *NO) do rise up and do enter into the city, and it will be told you (that *N+o) (what *NK+o) you it behooves to do.
but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 And the men those traveling with him had stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice, no one however seeing.
And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man.
8 Rose up then Saul from the ground, opened (however *NK+o) the eyes of him (no [thing] *N+kO) he was seeing; Leading by the hand then him they brought [him] to Damascus.
And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 And he was days three without seeing and neither did he eat nor drink.

10 There was now a certain disciple in Damascus named Ananias, And said to him in a vision the Lord; Ananias. And he said; Behold me myself, Lord.
Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am here], Lord.
11 And the Lord to him [said]; (Having risen up *NK+o) do go into the street which is being called Straight and do seek in [the] house of Judas Saul named of Tarsus; Behold for he is praying
And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth;
12 and he saw a man in a vision Ananias named having come and having put on him (the *no) (hands, *N+KO) so that he may see again.
and he hath seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.
13 Answered but Ananias; Lord, (I have heard *N+kO) from many concerning man this, how many evils to the saints of You he did in Jerusalem;
But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he did to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all those calling on the name of You.
and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name.
15 Said however to him the Lord; do go, for a vessel of choice is to Me this [man] to carry the name of Me before (the *o) Gentiles (and *no) also kings [the] sons then of Israel.
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 I myself for will show to him how much it behooves him for the name of Me to suffer.
for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
17 Went away then Ananias and entered into the house, and having laid upon him the hands he said; Saul Brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus the [One] having appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, that you may see again and you may be filled [of the] Spirit Holy.
And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way which thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
18 And immediately fell of him from the eyes (as *N+kO) scales, he regained his sight also (immediately *K) And having risen up he was baptized,
And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and he arose and was baptized;

and he took food and was strengthened. And he was certain days with the disciples that were at Damascus.
20 And immediately in the synagogues he was proclaiming (Jesus, *N+KO) that He is the Son of God.

21 Were amazed then all those hearing and were saying; Surely this is the [one] having caused havoc (in *N+kO) Jerusalem those calling on name this? And here for this he had come that bound them he may bring to the chief priests.
And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that in Jerusalem made havoc of them that called on this name? and he had come hither for this intent, that he might bring them bound before the chief priests.
22 Saul however all the more was empowered and was confounding the Jews those dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.

23 When now were passed days many, plotted together the Jews to execute him;

24 became known however to Saul the plot of them. (They were themselves watching now *N+kO) (also *no) the gates by day and also night, so that him they may execute;
but their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night that they might kill him:
25 having taken however the disciples (of him *NO) by night through the wall they let down him having lowered [him] in a basket.
but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.

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 at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
