But Saul was laying waste the assembly, entering house after house; and, dragging men and women, was committing them to prison.

And Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, going to the high priest,

and, having fallen upon the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?"

And Saul arose from the earth; and, his eyes being opened, he beheld nothing; but, taking him by the hand, they led him into Damascus.

But Saul was being more empowered, and was confounding the Jews who were dwelling in Damascus; proving that this is the Christ.

but their plot became known to Saul. And they were watching the gates also, both day and night, that they might kill him;

And he departed to Tarsus to seek for Saul;

which also they did, sending it to the elders through the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

And he slew James, the brother of John, with the sword;

And afterward they asked for a king; and God gave them Saul, a son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years;

Having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran in a straight course to Samothrace, and on the following day to Neapolis;

and, having spent three months there, a plot being laid for him by the Jews, as he was about to sail into Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.

And Paul, going down, fell upon him; and, embracing him, said, "Make no tumult! for his soul is in him."

And we, going before to the ship, set sail for Assos, there intending to take up Paul; for so he had arranged, intending himself to go on foot.

For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

And, when it came to pass that we, having been torn away from them, had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and thence to Patara;

and I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?'

coming to me, and standing by, said to me, 'Brother Saul, look up.' And I, in that very hour, looked up on him.

and, when the blood of Stephen, Thy witness, was poured forth, I myself also was standing by, and approving, and guarding the garments of those who slew him.

And, we all having fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, 'Saul! Saul! why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'

And, when it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion, Julius by name, of the Augustan band.

And, because the harbor was incommodious to winter in, the greater part advised to set sail thence, if by any means, having reached Phoenix, a harbor of Crete??ooking toward the south-west and north-west ??e might be able to winter there.

which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, lowering the sail, so they were borne along.
