It isG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851 for meG3427 doubtlessG1211 to gloryG2744+G1063. I will comeG2064 toG1519 visionsG3701 andG2532 revelationsG602 of the LordG2962. {I will come: Gr. For I will come}
I knewG1492 a manG444 inG1722 ChristG5547 aboveG4253 fourteenG1180 yearsG2094 agoG4253, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492; or whetherG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;) such an oneG5108 caught upG726 toG2193 the thirdG5154 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 I knewG1492 suchG5108 a manG444, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, orG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;)
How thatG3754 he was caught upG726 intoG1519 paradiseG3857, andG2532 heardG191 unspeakableG731 wordsG4487, whichG3739 it isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for a manG444 to utterG2980. {lawful: or, possible}
OfG5228 such an oneG5108 will I gloryG2744: yetG1161 ofG5228 myselfG1683 I willG2744 notG3756 gloryG2744, butG1508 inG1722 mineG3450 infirmitiesG769.
ForG1063 thoughG1437 I would desireG2309 to gloryG2744, I shallG2071 notG3756 beG2071 a foolG878; forG1063 I will sayG2046 the truthG225: butG1161 now I forbearG5339, lestG3361 any manG5100 should thinkG3049 ofG1519 meG1691 aboveG5228 that whichG3739 he seethG991 meG3165 to be, orG2228 that he hearethG191 ofG5100+G1537 meG1700.
AndG2532 lestG3363 I should be exalted above measureG5229 through the abundanceG5236 of the revelationsG602, there was givenG1325 to meG3427 a thornG4647 in the fleshG4561, the messengerG32 of SatanG4566 toG2443 buffetG2852 meG3165, lestG3363 I should be exalted above measureG5229.
ForG5228 this thingG5127 I besoughtG3870 the LordG2962 thriceG5151, thatG2443 it might departG868 fromG575 meG1700.
AndG2532 he saidG2046 unto meG3427, MyG3450 graceG5485 is sufficientG714 for theeG4671: forG1063 myG3450 strengthG1411 is made perfectG5048 inG1722 weaknessG769. Most gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 will IG2744 ratherG3123 gloryG2744 inG1722 myG3450 infirmitiesG769, thatG2443 the powerG1411 of ChristG5547 may restG1981 uponG1909 meG1691.
ThereforeG1352 I take pleasureG2106 inG1722 infirmitiesG769, inG1722 reproachesG5196, inG1722 necessitiesG318, inG1722 persecutionsG1375, inG1722 distressesG4730 forG5228 Christ'sG5547 sakeG5228: forG1063 whenG3752 I am weakG770, thenG5119 amG1510 I strongG1415.
It isG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851 for meG3427 doubtlessG1211 to gloryG2744+G1063. I will comeG2064 toG1519 visionsG3701 andG2532 revelationsG602 of the LordG2962. {I will come: Gr. For I will come}
ButG235 riseG450, andG2532 standG2476 uponG1909 thyG4675 feetG4228: forG1063 I have appearedG3700 unto theeG4671 forG1519 this purposeG5124, to makeG4400 theeG4571 a ministerG5257 andG2532 a witnessG3144 bothG5037 of these things whichG3739 thou hast seenG1492, andG5037 of those things in the whichG3739 I will appearG3700 unto theeG4671;
ForG1063 IG1473 have receivedG3880 ofG575 the LordG2962 that whichG3739 alsoG2532 I deliveredG3860 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 the same nightG3571 inG1722 whichG3739 he was betrayedG3860 tookG2983 breadG740:
ButG1161 I certifyG1107 youG5213, brethrenG80, thatG3754 the gospelG2098 whichG3588 was preachedG2097 ofG5259 meG1700 isG2076 notG3756 afterG2596 manG444.
ForG1063 IG1473 neitherG3761 receivedG3880 itG846 ofG3844 manG444, neitherG3777 was I taughtG1321 it, butG235 byG1223 the revelationG602 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
AndG1161 SaulG4569, yetG2089 breathing outG1709 threateningsG547 andG2532 slaughterG5408 againstG1519 the disciplesG3101 of the LordG2962, wentG4334 unto the high priestG749,
And desiredG154 ofG3844 himG846 lettersG1992 toG1519 DamascusG1154 toG4314 the synagoguesG4864, thatG3704 ifG1437 he foundG2147 anyG5100 of this wayG3598, whetherG5037 they wereG5607 menG435 orG2532 womenG1135, he might bring themG71 boundG1210 untoG1519 JerusalemG2419. {of this way: Gr. of the way}
AndG1161 as heG846 journeyedG4198+G1722, he cameG1096 nearG1448 DamascusG1154: andG2532 suddenlyG1810 there shined round aboutG4015 himG846 a lightG5457 fromG575 heavenG3772:
AndG2532 he fellG4098 toG1909 the earthG1093, and heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 unto himG846, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thouG1377 meG3165?
AndG1161 he saidG2036, WhoG5101 art thouG1488, LordG2962? AndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036, IG1473 amG1510 JesusG2424 whomG3739 thouG4771 persecutestG1377: it is hardG4642 for theeG4671 to kickG2979 againstG4314 the pricksG2759.
AndG5037 he tremblingG5141 andG2532 astonishedG2284 saidG2036, LordG2962, whatG5101 wilt thou haveG2309 meG3165 to doG4160? AndG2532 the LordG2962 said untoG4314 himG846, AriseG450, andG2532 goG1525 intoG1519 the cityG4172, andG2532 it shall be toldG2980 theeG4671 whatG5101 thouG4571 mustG1163 doG4160.
AndG1161 the menG435 whichG3588 journeyedG4922 with himG846 stoodG2476 speechlessG1769, hearingG191+G3303 a voiceG5456, butG1161 seeingG2334 no manG3367.
AndG1161 SaulG4569 aroseG1453 fromG575 the earthG1093; andG1161 when hisG846 eyesG3788 were openedG455, he sawG991 no manG3762: butG1161 they ledG5496 himG846 by the handG5496, and broughtG1521 him intoG1519 DamascusG1154.
AndG2532 he wasG2258 threeG5140 daysG2250 withoutG3361 sightG991, andG2532 neitherG3756 did eatG5315 norG3761 drinkG4095.
AndG1161 there wasG2258 a certainG5100 discipleG3101 atG1722 DamascusG1154, namedG3686 AnaniasG367; andG2532 toG4314 himG846 saidG2036 the LordG2962 inG1722 a visionG3705, AnaniasG367. AndG1161 he saidG2036, BeholdG2400, IG1473 am here, LordG2962.
AndG1161 the LordG2962 said untoG4314 himG846, AriseG450, and goG4198 intoG1909 the streetG4505 whichG3588 is calledG2564 StraightG2117, andG2532 enquireG2212 inG1722 the houseG3614 of JudasG2455 for one calledG3686 SaulG4569, of TarsusG5018: forG1063, beholdG2400, he prayethG4336,
AndG2532 hath seenG1492 inG1722 a visionG3705 a manG435 namedG3686 AnaniasG367 coming inG1525, andG2532 puttingG2007 his handG5495 onG2007 himG846, thatG3704 he might receive his sightG308.
ThenG1161 AnaniasG367 answeredG611, LordG2962, I have heardG191 byG575 manyG4183 ofG4012 thisG5127 manG435, how muchG3745 evilG2556 he hath doneG4160 to thyG4675 saintsG40 atG1722 JerusalemG2419:
AndG2532 hereG5602 he hathG2192 authorityG1849 fromG3844 the chief priestsG749 to bindG1210 allG3956 that callG1941 on thyG4675 nameG3686.
ButG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, Go thy wayG4198: forG3754 heG3778 isG2076 a chosenG1589 vesselG4632 unto meG3427, to bearG941 myG3450 nameG3686 beforeG1799 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 kingsG935, andG5037 the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474:
ForG1063 IG1473 will shewG5263 himG846 how great thingsG3745 heG846 mustG1163 sufferG3958 forG5228 myG3450 name's sakeG3686+G5228.
AndG1161 AnaniasG367 went his wayG565, andG2532 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the houseG3614; andG2532 puttingG2007 his handsG5495 onG1909 himG846 saidG2036, BrotherG80 SaulG4549, the LordG2962, even JesusG2424, that appearedG3700 unto theeG4671 inG1722 the wayG3598 asG3739 thou camestG2064, hath sentG649 meG3165, thatG3704 thou mightest receive thy sightG308, andG2532 be filled withG4130 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
AndG2532 immediatelyG2112 there fellG634 fromG575 hisG846 eyesG3788 asG5616 it had been scalesG3013: and he received sightG308 forthwithG3916, andG5037 aroseG450, andG2532 was baptizedG907.
AndG2532 when he had receivedG2983 meatG5160, he was strengthenedG1765. ThenG1161 wasG1096 SaulG4569 certainG5100 daysG2250 withG3326 the disciplesG3101 which were atG1722 DamascusG1154.
AndG2532 straightwayG2112 he preachedG2784 ChristG5547 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864, thatG3754 heG3778 isG2076 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
ButG1161 allG3956 that heardG191 him were amazedG1839, andG2532 saidG3004; IsG2076 notG3756 thisG3778 he that destroyedG4199 them whichG3588 called onG1941 thisG5124 nameG3686 inG1722 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 cameG2064 hitherG5602 forG1519 thatG5124 intentG1519, thatG2443 he might bringG71 themG846 boundG1210 untoG1909 the chief priestsG749?
ButG1161 SaulG4569 increasedG1743 the moreG3123 in strengthG1743, andG2532 confoundedG4797 the JewsG2453 whichG3588 dweltG2730 atG1722 DamascusG1154, provingG4822 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG2076 very ChristG5547.
AndG1161 afterG5613 that manyG2425 daysG2250 were fulfilledG4137, the JewsG2453 took counselG4823 to killG337 himG846:
ButG1161 theirG846 laying awaitG1917 was knownG1097 of SaulG4569. AndG5037 they watchedG3906 the gatesG4439 dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571 toG3704 killG337 himG846.
ThenG1161 the disciplesG3101 tookG2983 himG846 by nightG3571, and let him downG2524+G5465 byG1223 the wallG5038 inG1722 a basketG4711.
AndG1161 when SaulG4569 was comeG3854 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, he assayedG3987 to join himselfG2853 to the disciplesG3101: butG2532 they wereG5399 allG3956 afraidG5399 of himG846, and believedG4100 notG3361 thatG3754 he wasG2076 a discipleG3101.
ButG1161 BarnabasG921 tookG1949 himG846, and broughtG71 him toG4314 the apostlesG652, andG2532 declaredG1334 unto themG846 howG4459 he had seenG1492 the LordG2962 inG1722 the wayG3598, andG2532 thatG3754 he had spokenG2980 to himG846, andG2532 howG4459 he had preached boldlyG3955 atG1722 DamascusG1154 inG1722 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424.
AndG2532 he wasG2258 withG3326 themG846 coming inG1531 andG2532 going outG1607 atG1722 JerusalemG2419.
AndG2532 he spakeG2980 boldlyG3955 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG5037+G2532 disputedG4802 againstG4314 the GreciansG1675: butG1161 they went aboutG2021 to slayG337 himG846.
Which whenG1161 the brethrenG80 knewG1921, they broughtG2609 himG846 downG2609 toG1519 CaesareaG2542, andG2532 sentG1821 himG846 forthG1821 toG1519 TarsusG5019.
ThenG3303+G3767 hadG2192 the churchesG1577 restG1515 throughoutG2596 allG3650 JudaeaG2449 andG2532 GalileeG1056 andG2532 SamariaG4540, and were edifiedG3618; andG2532 walking inG4198 the fearG5401 of the LordG2962, andG2532 in the comfortG3874 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, were multipliedG4129.
AndG1161 it cameG1096 to pass, asG1330 PeterG4074 passed throughoutG1330+G1223 allG3956 quarters, he came downG2718 alsoG2532 toG4314 the saintsG40 whichG3588 dweltG2730 at LyddaG3069.
AndG1161 thereG1563 he foundG2147 a certainG5100 manG444 namedG3686 AeneasG132, which had keptG2621+G1909 his bedG2895+G1537 eightG3638 yearsG2094, andG3739 wasG2258 sick of the palsyG3886.
AndG2532 PeterG4074 saidG2036 unto himG846, AeneasG132, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 makethG2390 theeG4571 wholeG2390: ariseG450, andG2532 makeG4766 thyG4572 bedG4766. AndG2532 he aroseG450 immediatelyG2112.
AndG2532 allG3956 that dweltG2730 at LyddaG3069 andG2532 SaronG4565 sawG1492 himG846, andG3748 turnedG1994 toG1909 the LordG2962.
NowG1161 there wasG2258 atG1722 JoppaG2445 a certainG5100 discipleG3102 namedG3686 TabithaG5000, whichG3739 by interpretationG1329 is calledG3004 DorcasG1393: this womanG3778+G846 wasG2258 fullG4134 of goodG18 worksG2041 andG2532 almsdeedsG1654 whichG3739 she didG4160. {Dorcas: or, Doe, or, Roe}
AndG1161 it came to passG1096 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250, that she was sickG770, and diedG599: whom whenG1161 theyG846 had washedG3068+G846, they laidG5087 her inG1722 an upper chamberG5253.
AndG1161 forasmuch asG5607 LyddaG3069 was nighG1451 to JoppaG2445, and the disciplesG3101 had heardG191 thatG3754 PeterG4074 wasG2076 thereG1722+G846, they sentG649 untoG4314 himG846 twoG1417 menG435, desiringG3870 him that he wouldG3635 notG3361 delayG3635 to comeG1330 toG2193 themG846. {delay: or, be grieved}
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 aroseG450 and went withG4905 themG846. When heG3739 was comeG3854, they brought himG321 intoG1519 the upper chamberG5253: andG2532 allG3956 the widowsG5503 stood byG3936 himG846 weepingG2799, andG2532 shewingG1925 the coatsG5509 andG2532 garmentsG2440 whichG3745 DorcasG1393 madeG4160, while she wasG5607 withG3326 themG846.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 putG1544 them allG3956 forthG1854, and kneeled downG5087+G1119, and prayedG4336; andG2532 turningG1994 him toG4314 the bodyG4983 saidG2036, TabithaG5000, ariseG450. AndG1161 she openedG455 herG846 eyesG3788: andG2532 when she sawG1492 PeterG4074, she sat upG339.
AndG1161 he gaveG1325 herG846 his handG5495, and liftedG450 herG846 upG450, andG1161 when he had calledG5455 the saintsG40 andG2532 widowsG5503, presentedG3936 herG846 aliveG2198.
AndG1161 it wasG1096 knownG1110 throughoutG2596 allG3650 JoppaG2445; andG2532 manyG4183 believedG4100 inG1909 the LordG2962.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that heG846 tarriedG3306 manyG2425 daysG2250 inG1722 JoppaG2445 withG3844 oneG5100 SimonG4613 a tannerG1038.
MenG435, brethrenG80, andG2532 fathersG3962, hear yeG191 myG3450 defenceG627 which I make nowG3568 untoG4314 youG5209.
(AndG1161 when they heardG191 thatG3754 he spakeG4377 in the HebrewG1446 tongueG1258 to themG846, they keptG3930 the moreG3123 silenceG2271: andG2532 he saithG5346,)
IG1473 amG1510 verilyG3303 a manG435 which am a JewG2453, bornG1080 inG1722 TarsusG5019, a city in CiliciaG2791, yetG1161 brought upG397 inG1722 thisG5026 cityG4172 atG3844 the feetG4228 of GamalielG1059, and taughtG3811 accordingG2596 to the perfect mannerG195 of the lawG3551 of the fathersG3971, and wasG5225 zealousG2207 toward GodG2316, asG2531 yeG5210 allG3956 areG2075 this dayG4594.
And IG3739 persecutedG1377 thisG5026 wayG3598 untoG891 the deathG2288, bindingG1195 andG2532 deliveringG3860 intoG1519 prisonsG5438 bothG5037 menG435 andG2532 womenG1135.
AsG5613 alsoG2532 the high priestG749 doth bearG3140 meG3427 witnessG3140, andG2532 allG3956 the estate of the eldersG4244: fromG3844 whomG3739 alsoG2532 I receivedG1209 lettersG1992 untoG4314 the brethrenG80, andG2532 wentG4198 toG1519 DamascusG1154, to bringG71 them which wereG5607 thereG1566 boundG1210 untoG1519 JerusalemG2419, for toG2443 be punishedG5097.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that, as I madeG4198 myG3427 journeyG4198, andG2532 was come nighG1448 unto DamascusG1154 aboutG4012 noonG3314, suddenlyG1810 there shoneG4015 fromG1537 heavenG3772 a greatG2425 lightG5457 roundG4015 aboutG4012 meG1691.
AndG5037 I fellG4098 untoG1519 the groundG1475, andG2532 heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 unto meG3427, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thouG1377 meG3165?
AndG1161 IG1473 answeredG611, WhoG5101 art thouG1488, LordG2962? AndG5037 he saidG2036 untoG4314 meG3165, IG1473 amG1510 JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480, whomG3739 thouG4771 persecutestG1377.
AndG1161 they that wereG5607 withG4862 meG1698 sawG2300 indeedG3303 the lightG5457, andG2532 wereG1096 afraidG1719; butG1161 they heardG191 notG3756 the voiceG5456 of him that spakeG2980 to meG3427.
AndG1161 I saidG2036, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, LordG2962? AndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036 untoG4314 meG3165, AriseG450, and goG4198 intoG1519 DamascusG1154; and thereG2546 it shall be toldG2980 theeG4671 ofG4012 all thingsG3956 whichG3739 are appointedG5021 for theeG4671 to doG4160.
AndG1161 whenG5613 I couldG1689 notG3756 seeG1689 forG575 the gloryG1391 of thatG1565 lightG5457, being led by the handG5496 ofG5259 them that wereG4895 with meG3427, I cameG2064 intoG1519 DamascusG1154.
AndG1161 oneG5100 AnaniasG367, a devoutG2152 manG435 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551, having a good reportG3140 ofG5259 allG3956 the JewsG2453 which dweltG2730 there,
CameG2064 untoG4314 meG3165, andG2532 stoodG2186, and saidG2036 unto meG3427, BrotherG80 SaulG4549, receive thy sightG308. AndG2504 the sameG846 hourG5610 IG2504 looked upG308 uponG1519 himG846.
AndG1161 he saidG2036, The GodG2316 of ourG2257 fathersG3962 hath chosenG4400 theeG4571, that thou shouldest knowG1097 hisG846 willG2307, andG2532 seeG1492 that Just OneG1342, andG2532 shouldest hearG191 the voiceG5456 ofG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750.
ForG3754 thou shalt beG2071 hisG846 witnessG3144 untoG4314 allG3956 menG444 of whatG3739 thou hast seenG3708 andG2532 heardG191.
AndG2532 nowG3568 whyG5101 tarriest thouG3195? ariseG450, and be baptizedG907, andG2532 wash awayG628 thyG4675 sinsG266, calling onG1941 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that, when IG3427 was come againG5290 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, evenG2532 while IG3450 prayedG4336 inG1722 the templeG2411, IG3165 wasG1096 inG1722 a tranceG1611;
AndG2532 sawG1492 himG846 sayingG3004 unto meG3427, Make hasteG4692, andG2532 get theeG1831 quicklyG5034+G1722 out ofG1537 JerusalemG2419: forG1360 they willG3858 notG3756 receiveG3858 thyG4675 testimonyG3141 concerningG4012 meG1700.
And IG2504 saidG2036, LordG2962, theyG846 knowG1987 thatG3754 IG1473 imprisonedG2252+G5439 andG2532 beatG1194 in everyG2596 synagogueG4864 them that believedG4100 onG1909 theeG4571:
AndG2532 whenG3753 the bloodG129 of thyG4675 martyrG3144 StephenG4736 was shedG1632, IG846 alsoG2532 wasG2252 standing byG2186, andG2532 consentingG4909 unto hisG846 deathG336, andG2532 keptG5442 the raimentG2440 of them that slewG337 himG846.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 untoG4314 meG3165, DepartG4198: forG3754 IG1473 will sendG1821 theeG4571 far henceG3112 untoG1519 the GentilesG1484.
AndG1161 they gaveG191 himG846 audienceG191 untoG891 thisG5127 wordG3056, andG2532 then lifted upG1869 theirG846 voicesG5456, and saidG3004, Away withG142 suchG5108 a fellow fromG575 the earthG1093: forG1063 it isG2520 notG3756 fitG2520 that heG846 should liveG2198.
AndG1161 as theyG846 cried outG2905, andG2532 cast offG4495 their clothesG2440, andG2532 threwG906 dustG2868 intoG1519 the airG109,
The chief captainG5506 commandedG2753 himG846 to be broughtG71 intoG1519 the castleG3925, and badeG2036 that heG846 should be examinedG426 by scourgingG3148; thatG2443 he might knowG1921 whereforeG1223+G3739+G156 they criedG2019 soG3779 againstG2019 himG846.
AndG1161 asG5613 they boundG4385 himG846 with thongsG2438, PaulG3972 saidG2036 untoG4314 the centurionG1543 that stood byG2476, Is it lawfulG1487+G1832 for youG5213 to scourgeG3147 a manG444 that is a RomanG4514, andG2532 uncondemnedG178?
WhenG1161 the centurionG1543 heardG191 that, he wentG4334 and toldG518 the chief captainG5506, sayingG3004, Take heedG3708 whatG5101 thou doestG3195+G4160: forG1063 thisG3778 manG444 isG2076 a RomanG4514.
ThenG1161 the chief captainG5506 cameG4334, and saidG2036 unto himG846, TellG3004 meG3427+G1487, artG1488 thouG4771 a RomanG4514+G1161? He saidG5346, YeaG3483.
AndG5037 the chief captainG5506 answeredG611, With a greatG4183 sumG2774 obtainedG2932 IG1473 thisG5026 freedomG4174. AndG1161 PaulG3972 saidG5346, ButG1161 IG1473+G2532 was free bornG1080.
ThenG3767 straightwayG2112 they departedG868 fromG575 himG846 whichG3588 shouldG3195 have examinedG426 himG846: andG1161 the chief captainG5506 alsoG2532 was afraidG5399, after he knewG1921 thatG3754 he wasG2076 a RomanG4514, andG2532 becauseG3754 he hadG2258 boundG1210 himG846. {examined him: or, tortured him}
On the morrowG1887, because he wouldG1014 have knownG1097 the certaintyG804 whereforeG5101 he was accusedG2723 ofG3844 the JewsG2453, he loosedG3089 himG846 fromG575 his bandsG1199, andG2532 commandedG2753 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 allG3650 theirG846 councilG4892 to appearG2064, andG2532 broughtG2609 PaulG3972 downG2609, and set himG2476 beforeG1519 themG846.
ThenG1161 AgrippaG67 saidG5346 untoG4314 PaulG3972, ThouG4671 art permittedG2010 to speakG3004 forG5228 thyselfG4572. ThenG5119 PaulG3972 stretched forthG1614 the handG5495, and answered for himselfG626:
I thinkG2233 myselfG1683 happyG3107, kingG935 AgrippaG67, because I shallG3195 answer for myselfG626 this dayG4594 beforeG1909 theeG4675 touchingG4012 all the thingsG3956 whereofG3739 I am accusedG1458 ofG5259 the JewsG2453:
EspeciallyG3122 because I knowG1492 theeG4571 to beG5607 expertG1109+G5037 in allG3956 customsG1485 andG2532 questionsG2213 which are amongG2596 the JewsG2453: whereforeG1352 I beseechG1189 theeG4675 to hearG191 meG3450 patientlyG3116.
MyG3450 mannerG3303+G3767 of lifeG981 fromG1537 my youthG3503, whichG3588 wasG1096 atG575 the firstG746 amongG1722 mineG3450 own nationG1484 atG1722 JerusalemG2414, knowG2467 allG3956 the JewsG2453;
Which knewG4267 meG3165 from the beginningG509, ifG1437 they wouldG2309 testifyG3140, thatG3754 afterG2596 the most straitestG196 sectG139 of ourG2251 religionG2356 I livedG2198 a PhariseeG5330.
AndG2532 nowG3568 I standG2476 and am judgedG2919 forG1909 the hopeG1680 of the promiseG1860 madeG1096 ofG5259 GodG2316 untoG4314 our fathersG3962:
UntoG1519 whichG3739 promise ourG2257 twelve tribesG1429, instantlyG1722+G1616 servingG3000 God dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571, hopeG1679 to comeG2658. ForG4012 whichG3739 hope's sakeG1680, kingG935 AgrippaG67, I am accusedG1458 ofG5259 the JewsG2453. {day and night: Gr. night and day}
WhyG5101 should it be thought a thingG2919 incredibleG571 withG3844 youG5213, thatG1487 GodG2316 should raiseG1453 the deadG3498?
IG1473 verilyG3303+G3767 thoughtG1380 with myselfG1683, that I oughtG1163 to doG4238 many thingsG4183 contraryG1727 toG4314 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480.
Which thingG3739 IG4160 alsoG2532 didG4160 inG1722 JerusalemG2414: andG2532 manyG4183 of the saintsG40 didG2623 IG1473 shut upG2623 in prisonG5438, having receivedG2983 authorityG1849 fromG3844 the chief priestsG749; andG5037 when theyG846 were put to deathG337, I gaveG2702 my voiceG5586 against them.
AndG2532 I punishedG5097 themG846 oftG4178 inG2596 everyG3956 synagogueG4864, and compelledG315 them to blasphemeG987; andG5037 beingG1693 exceedinglyG4057 mad againstG1693 themG846, I persecutedG1377 them evenG2532 untoG1519+G2193 strangeG1854 citiesG4172.
WhereuponG1722+G3739 as I wentG4198 toG1519 DamascusG1154 withG3326 authorityG1849 andG2532 commissionG2011 fromG3844 the chief priestsG749,
At middayG2250+G3319, O kingG935, I sawG1492 inG2596 the wayG3598 a lightG5457 from heavenG3771, aboveG5228 the brightnessG2987 of the sunG2246, shining round aboutG4034 meG3165 andG2532 them which journeyedG4198 withG4862 meG1698.
AndG1161 when weG2257 wereG2667 allG3956 fallenG2667 toG1519 the earthG1093, I heardG191 a voiceG5456 speakingG2980 untoG4314 meG3165, andG2532 sayingG3004 in the HebrewG1446 tongueG1258, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thouG1377 meG3165? it is hardG4642 for theeG4671 to kickG2979 againstG4314 the pricksG2759.
AndG1161 IG1473 saidG2036, WhoG5101 art thouG1488, LordG2962? AndG1161 he saidG2036, IG1473 amG1510 JesusG2424 whomG3739 thouG4771 persecutestG1377.
ButG235 riseG450, andG2532 standG2476 uponG1909 thyG4675 feetG4228: forG1063 I have appearedG3700 unto theeG4671 forG1519 this purposeG5124, to makeG4400 theeG4571 a ministerG5257 andG2532 a witnessG3144 bothG5037 of these things whichG3739 thou hast seenG1492, andG5037 of those things in the whichG3739 I will appearG3700 unto theeG4671;
DeliveringG1807 theeG4571 fromG1537 the peopleG2992, andG2532 from the GentilesG1484, untoG1519 whomG3739 nowG3568 I sendG649 theeG4571,
To openG455 theirG846 eyesG3788, and to turnG1994 them fromG575 darknessG4655 toG1519 lightG5457, andG2532 from the powerG1849 of SatanG4567 untoG1909 GodG2316, that theyG846 may receiveG2983 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 them which are sanctifiedG37 by faithG4102 that is inG1519 meG1691.
WhereuponG3606, O kingG935 AgrippaG67, I wasG1096 notG3756 disobedientG545 unto the heavenlyG3770 visionG3701:
ButG235 shewedG518 firstG4412 unto them ofG1722 DamascusG1154, andG2532 at JerusalemG2414, andG5037 throughoutG1519 allG3956 the coastsG5561 of JudaeaG2449, andG2532 then to the GentilesG1484, that they should repentG3340 andG2532 turnG1994 toG1909 GodG2316, and doG4238 worksG2041 meetG514 for repentanceG3341.
ForG1752 these causesG5130 the JewsG2453 caughtG4815 meG3165 inG1722 the templeG2411, and went aboutG3987 to killG1315 me.
HavingG5177 thereforeG3767 obtainedG5177 helpG1947 ofG3844 GodG2316, I continueG2476 untoG891 thisG5026 dayG2250, witnessingG3140 bothG5037 to smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173, sayingG3004 none other thingsG3762 thanG1622 those whichG3739+G5037 the prophetsG4396 andG2532 MosesG3475 did sayG2980 shouldG3195 comeG1096:
ThatG1487 ChristG5547 should sufferG3805, and thatG1487 he should be the firstG4413 that should riseG386 fromG1537 the deadG3498, and shouldG3195 shewG2605 lightG5457 unto the peopleG2992, andG2532 to the GentilesG1484.
AndG1161 as heG846 thusG5023 spake for himselfG626, FestusG5347 saidG5346 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, PaulG3972, thou art beside thyselfG3105; muchG4183 learningG1121 doth makeG4062 theeG4571 madG1519+G3130.
ButG1161 he saidG5346, I amG3105 notG3756 madG3105, most nobleG2903 FestusG5347; butG235 speak forthG669 the wordsG4487 of truthG225 andG2532 sobernessG4997.
ForG1063 the kingG935 knowethG1987 ofG4012 theseG5130 things, beforeG4314 whomG3739 alsoG2532 I speakG2980 freelyG3955: forG1063 I am persuadedG3982 thatG3756 noneG5100+G3762 of these thingsG5130 are hiddenG2990 from himG846; forG1063 this thingG5124 wasG2076 notG3756 doneG4238 inG1722 a cornerG1137.
KingG935 AgrippaG67, believest thouG4100 the prophetsG4396? I knowG1492 thatG3754 thou believestG4100.
ThenG1161 AgrippaG67 saidG5346 untoG4314 PaulG3972, AlmostG1722+G3641 thou persuadestG3982 meG3165 to beG1096 a ChristianG5546.
AndG1161 PaulG3972 saidG2036, I wouldG302+G2172 to GodG2316, that notG3756 onlyG3440 thouG4571, butG235 alsoG2532 allG3956 that hearG191 meG3450 this dayG4594, wereG1096 bothG2532 almostG1722+G3641, andG2532 altogetherG1722+G4183 suchG5108 asG3697+G2504 I amG1510, exceptG3924 theseG5130 bondsG1199.
AndG2532 when heG846 hadG2036 thusG5023 spokenG2036, the kingG935 rose upG450, andG2532 the governorG2232, andG5037 BerniceG959, andG2532 they that sat withG4775 themG846:
AndG2532 when they were gone asideG402, they talkedG2980 betweenG4314 themselvesG240, sayingG3004+G3754, ThisG3778 manG444 doethG4238 nothingG3762 worthyG514 of deathG2288 orG2228 of bondsG1199.
ThenG1161 saidG5346 AgrippaG67 unto FestusG5347, ThisG3778 manG444 mightG1410 have been set at libertyG630, ifG1508 he hadG1941 notG1508 appealed untoG1941 CaesarG2541.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that, when IG3427 was come againG5290 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, evenG2532 while IG3450 prayedG4336 inG1722 the templeG2411, IG3165 wasG1096 inG1722 a tranceG1611;
AndG2532 sawG1492 himG846 sayingG3004 unto meG3427, Make hasteG4692, andG2532 get theeG1831 quicklyG5034+G1722 out ofG1537 JerusalemG2419: forG1360 they willG3858 notG3756 receiveG3858 thyG4675 testimonyG3141 concerningG4012 meG1700.
AndG1161 the nightG3571 followingG1966 the LordG2962 stood byG2186 himG846, and saidG2036, Be of good cheerG2293, PaulG3972: forG1063 asG5613 thou hast testifiedG1263 ofG4012 meG1700 inG1519 JerusalemG2419, soG3779 mustG1163 thouG4571 bear witnessG3140 alsoG2532 atG1519 RomeG4516.
I knewG1492 a manG444 inG1722 ChristG5547 aboveG4253 fourteenG1180 yearsG2094 agoG4253, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492; or whetherG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;) such an oneG5108 caught upG726 toG2193 the thirdG5154 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 I knewG1492 suchG5108 a manG444, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, orG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;)
How thatG3754 he was caught upG726 intoG1519 paradiseG3857, andG2532 heardG191 unspeakableG731 wordsG4487, whichG3739 it isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for a manG444 to utterG2980. {lawful: or, possible}
WhoG3748 serveG3000 unto the exampleG5262 andG2532 shadowG4639 of heavenly thingsG2032, asG2531 MosesG3475 was admonished of GodG5537 when he was aboutG3195 to makeG2005 the tabernacleG4633: forG1063, SeeG3708, saith heG5346, that thou makeG4160 all thingsG3956 according toG2596 the patternG5179 shewedG1166 to theeG4671 inG1722 the mountG3735.
ButG1161 ChristG5547 asG5613 a sonG5207 overG1909 his ownG846 houseG3624; whoseG3739 houseG3624 areG2070 weG2249, ifG1437+G4007 we hold fastG2722 the confidenceG3954 andG2532 the rejoicingG2745 of the hopeG1680 firmG949 untoG3360 the endG5056.
LetG5015 notG3361 yourG5216 heartG2588 be troubledG5015: ye believeG4100 inG1519 GodG2316, believeG4100 alsoG2532 inG1519 meG1691.
InG1722 myG3450 Father'sG3962 houseG3614 areG1526 manyG4183 mansionsG3438: if it were notG1490 so, I would have toldG302+G2036 youG5213. I goG4198 to prepareG2090 a placeG5117 for youG5213.
AndG2532 ifG1437 I goG4198 andG2532 prepareG2090 a placeG5117 for youG5213, I will comeG2064 againG3825, andG2532 receiveG3880 youG5209 untoG4314 myselfG1683; thatG2443 whereG3699 IG1473 amG1510, there yeG5210 may beG5600 alsoG2532.
AndG2532 whitherG3699 IG1473 goG5217 ye knowG1492, andG2532 the wayG3598 ye knowG1492.
ThomasG2381 saithG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, we knowG1492 notG3756 whitherG4226 thou goestG5217; andG2532 howG4459 can weG1410 knowG1492 the wayG3598?
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, IG1473 amG1510 the wayG3598+G2532, the truthG225, andG2532 the lifeG2222: no manG3762 comethG2064 untoG4314 the FatherG3962, butG1508 byG1223 meG1700.
IfG1487 ye had knownG1097 meG3165+G302, ye should have knownG1097 myG3450 FatherG3962 alsoG2532: andG2532 fromG575 henceforthG737 ye knowG1097 himG846, andG2532 have seenG3708 himG846.
PhilipG5376 saithG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, shewG1166 usG2254 the FatherG3962, andG2532 it sufficethG714 usG2254.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, Have I beenG1510 so longG5118 timeG5550 withG3326 youG5216, and yetG2532 hast thouG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 meG3165, PhilipG5376? he that hath seenG3708 meG1691 hath seenG3708 the FatherG3962; andG2532 howG4459 sayestG3004 thouG4771 then, ShewG1166 usG2254 the FatherG3962?
Believest thouG4100 notG3756 thatG3754 IG1473 amG2076 inG1722 the FatherG3962, andG2532 the FatherG3962 inG1722 meG1698? the wordsG4487 thatG3739 IG1473 speakG2980 unto youG5213 I speakG2980 notG3756 ofG575 myselfG1683: butG1161 the FatherG3962 that dwellethG3306 inG1722 meG1698, heG846 doethG4160 the worksG2041.
BelieveG4100 meG3427 thatG3754 IG1473 am inG1722 the FatherG3962, andG2532 the FatherG3962 inG1722 meG1698: or elseG1490 believeG4100 meG3427 forG1223 the veryG846 works'G2041 sakeG846.
VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, He that believethG4100 onG1519 meG1691, the worksG2041 thatG3739 IG1473 doG4160 shall he doG4160 alsoG2548; andG2532 greater works thanG3187 theseG5130 shall he doG4160; becauseG3754 IG1473 goG4198 untoG4314 myG3450 FatherG3962.
AndG3739+G2532 whatsoeverG3748+G302 ye shall askG154 inG1722 myG3450 nameG3686, thatG5124 will I doG4160, thatG2443 the FatherG3962 may be glorifiedG1392 inG1722 the SonG5207.
IfG1437 ye shall askG154 any thingG5100 inG1722 myG3450 nameG3686, IG1473 will doG4160 it.
IfG1437 ye loveG25 meG3165, keepG5083 myG1699 commandmentsG1785.
AndG2532 IG1473 will prayG2065 the FatherG3962, andG2532 he shall giveG1325 youG5213 anotherG243 ComforterG3875, thatG2443 he may abideG3306 withG3326 youG5216 forG1519 everG165;
Even the SpiritG4151 of truthG225; whomG3739 the worldG2889 cannotG3756+G1410 receiveG2983, becauseG3754 it seethG2334 himG846 notG3756, neitherG3761 knowethG1097 himG846: butG1161 yeG5210 knowG1097 himG846; forG3754 he dwellethG3306 withG3844 youG5213, andG2532 shall beG2071 inG1722 youG5213.
I willG863 notG3756 leaveG863 youG5209 comfortlessG3737: I will comeG2064 toG4314 youG5209. {comfortless: or, orphans}
YetG2089 a little whileG3397, andG2532 the worldG2889 seethG2334 meG3165 no moreG3765; butG1161 yeG5210 seeG2334 meG3165: becauseG3754 IG1473 liveG2198, yeG5210 shall liveG2198 alsoG2532.
AtG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250 yeG5210 shall knowG1097 thatG3754 IG1473 am inG1722 myG3450 FatherG3962, andG2532 yeG5210 inG1722 meG1698, and IG2504 inG1722 youG5213.
He that hathG2192 myG3450 commandmentsG1785, andG2532 keepethG5083 themG846, heG1565 it isG2076 that lovethG25 meG3165: andG1161 he that lovethG25 meG3165 shall be lovedG25 ofG5259 myG3450 FatherG3962, andG2532 IG1473 will loveG25 himG846, andG2532 will manifestG1718 myselfG1683 to himG846.
JudasG2455 saithG3004 unto himG846, notG3756 IscariotG2469, LordG2962, howG5101 is itG1096 thatG3754 thou wiltG3195 manifestG1718 thyselfG4572 unto usG2254, andG2532 notG3780 unto the worldG2889?
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, IfG1437 a manG5100 loveG25 meG3165, he will keepG5083 myG3450 wordsG3056: andG2532 myG3450 FatherG3962 will loveG25 himG846, andG2532 we will comeG2064 untoG4314 himG846, andG2532 makeG4160 our abodeG3438 withG3844 himG846.
He that lovethG25 meG3165 notG3361 keepethG5083 notG3756 myG3450 sayingsG3056: andG2532 the wordG3056 whichG3739 ye hearG191 isG2076 notG3756 mineG1699, butG235 the Father'sG3962 whichG3588 sentG3992 meG3165.
These thingsG5023 have I spokenG2980 unto youG5213, being yet presentG3306 withG3844 youG5213.
ButG1161 the ComforterG3875, which is the HolyG40 GhostG4151, whomG3739 the FatherG3962 will sendG3992 inG1722 myG3450 nameG3686, heG1565 shall teachG1321 youG5209 all thingsG3956, andG2532 bringG5279 all thingsG3956 toG5279 yourG5209 remembranceG5279, whatsoeverG3739 I have saidG2036 unto youG5213.
PeaceG1515 I leaveG863 with youG5213, myG1699 peaceG1515 I giveG1325 unto youG5213: notG3756 asG2531 the worldG2889 givethG1325, giveG1325 IG1473 unto youG5213. LetG5015 notG3361 yourG5216 heartG2588 be troubledG5015, neitherG3366 let it be afraidG1168.
Ye have heardG191 howG3754 IG1473 saidG2036 unto youG5213, I go awayG5217, andG2532 comeG2064 again untoG4314 youG5209. IfG1487 ye lovedG25 meG3165+G302, ye would rejoiceG5463, becauseG3754 I saidG2036, I goG4198 untoG4314 the FatherG3962: forG3754 myG3450 FatherG3962 isG2076 greater thanG3187 IG3450.
AndG2532 nowG3568 I have toldG2046 youG5213 beforeG4250 it come to passG1096, thatG2443, whenG3752 it is come to passG1096, ye might believeG4100.
HereafterG3765 I willG2980 notG3765 talkG2980 muchG4183 withG3326 youG5216: forG1063 the princeG758 of thisG5127 worldG2889 comethG2064, andG2532 hathG2192+G3756 nothingG3762 inG1722 meG1698.
ButG235 thatG2443 the worldG2889 may knowG1097 thatG3754 I loveG25 the FatherG3962; andG2532 asG2531 the FatherG3962 gaveG1781 meG3427 commandmentG1781, even soG3779 I doG4160. AriseG1453, let us goG71 henceG1782.
