Truly they therefore having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, if in this time thou wilt restore the kingdom of Israel?

And having prayed, they said, Thou, O Lord, knowing hearts of all, spew forth one of two which thou hast chosen,

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hades neither wilt thou give thy sanctified one to see corruption.

Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou wilt fill me with gladness with thy face.

And they, having heard, lifted up the voice unanimously to God, and said, Sovereign, thou God having made heaven, and earth, and sea, and all things which in them:

For against the truth were they gathered together against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the nations and peoples of Israel,

Remaining, did it not remain to thee? and sold, it was in thy power: for what hast thou put this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied to men, but to God.

Wilt thou not kill me, as thou didst kill the Egyptian yesterday?

And the Lord said to him, Loose the shoes of thy feet: for the place in which thou standest is holy land.

And having set the knees, he cried with a great voice, Lord, wouldest thou not set this sin to them. And having said this he was set to sleep.

And Peter said to him, May thy silver be for ruin with thee, for thou thoughtest the gift of God to be purchased for money.

And Philip running near, heard him reading the prophet Esaias, and he said, Truly knowest thou what thou readest?

And Philip said, If thou believest from the whole heart, it is lawful. And having answered, he said, I believe the Son of God to be Jesus Christ.

And having fallen upon the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, Why drivest thou me out?

And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom thou drivest out: hard for thee to kick against goads.

And he trembling and amazed said, Lord, What wilt thou me to do? And the Lord to him, Arise, and come into the city, and it shall be spoken to thee what thou must do.

And the Lord to him, Having risen, go thou to the street called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas Saul by name, of Tarsus; for, behold, he prays,

And Ananias departed, and came into the house; and having put hands upon him said, Brother Saul, the Lord has sent me, Jesus, he seen to thee in the way which thou earnest, so that thou mightest look up, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

He is received as guest with a certain Simon a currier, to whom is a house by the sea: he shall speak to thee what thou must do.

And a voice again of a second time to him, What things God cleansed, do not thou make common.

But thou having risen, come down, and go with them, discussing nothing; for I have sent them.

From this therefore sent I to thee: and thou didst well being present. Now therefore are all we present before God, to hear all commanded thee of God.

Saying, That thou camest in to men having uncircumcision, and didst eat With them.

Who shall speak words to thee, by which thou shalt be saved and all thy house.

And they said to her, Thou art mad. And she was strengthened to have it so. And they said, It is his messenger.

O, full of deceit, and all dexterity, son of the devil, enemy of all justice, Wilt thou cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord?

And now, behold, the hand of the Lord upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun till the time. And immediately fell upon him mist and darkness; and going about he sought leading by hand.

For this has God completed to us, their children, having raised up Jesus; as it has also been written in the second Psalms, Thou art my Son; to day have I begotten thee.

For also in another, he says, Thou shalt not give thy Holy one to see corruption.

And Paul called with a great voice, saying, Thou shouldest do no injury to thyself; for we are all here.

And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we wish therefore to know what these things may be.

And the Lord said through a vision by night to Paul, Fear not, but speak, and thou shouldest not be silent:

And they having heard, honoured the Lord, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many ten thousands of Jews there are having believed: and all are zealous of the law:

And they were taught about thee, that thou teachest apostasy from Moses, all the Jews among the nations, saying, they are not to circumcise children, nor walk in the customs.

What is it therefore? the multitude must all come together: for they will hear that thou hast come.

Having taken these, be purified with them, and expend upon them, that they might shave the head: and all might know that what they are taught about thee is nothing; but thou proceedest in regular order, also thyself watching the law.

And being about to be brought into the camp, Paul says to the captain of a thousand, Is it lawful for me to speak anything to thee? and he said, Hast thou knowledge in Greek?

Art not thou then the Egyptian, who before these days having risen up, and having brought into the desert four thousand men of murderers?

And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice, Saul, Saul, why drivest thou me out?

And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus the Nazarite, whom thou drivest out.

For thou shalt be a witness for him to all men of what thou hast seen and hast heard.

And now what art thou about to do having risen, be immersed and wash away thy sins, having called upon the name of the Lord.

And the centurion having heard, having come near announced to the captain of a thousand, See what thou art about to do: for this man is a Roman.

And the captain of a thousand having come near, said to him, Tell me if thou art a Roman. And he said, Yes.

Then said Paul to him, God is about to strike thee, thou wall covered with dust: and sittest thou judging me according to law, and commanded me to be struck illegally?

And they standing by said, Revilest thou God's chief priest?

And Paul said, I knew not, brethren, that he is chief priest: for it has been written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

And the following night the Lord, having stood by him, said, Take courage, Paul: for as thou hast testified the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so must thou also testify at Rome.

The captain of a thousand, having taken his hand, and having withdrawn in private, inquired, What is it which thou hast to announce to me?

And he said, That the Jews agreed together to ask thee, so that to-morrow thou mightest bring down Paul to the council, as about to inquire something more accurately about him.

Therefore thou shouldest not be persuaded by them: for more than forty men of them lie in wait for him, who anathematized themselves, neither to eat or drink till they should kill him: and now are they prepared, expecting a promise from thee.

Truly then the captain of a thousand discharged the young man, having enjoined him, Tell none that thou hast shown these things to me.

Having commanded his accusers to come to thee: by which thou thyself shalt be able, having examined, to know of all these of which we accuse him.

Thou being able to know that not more than twelve days are to me from which I went up, going to worship in Jerusalem.

And Festus, wishing to render a favor to the Jews, having answered Paul, said, Wilt thou, having gone up to Jerusalem, there be judged by me of these things?

And Paul said, At Caesar's judgment seat am I standing where I must he judged: I injured the Jews nothing, as thou also knowest better.

Then Festus, having conversed with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed to Caesar, to Caesar shalt thou go.

And Agrippa said to Festus, I wished myself also to hear the man. And he said, Tomorrow thou shalt hear him.

And we having all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking to me, and saying in the Hebrew dialect, Saul, Saul, why drivest thou me out? hard for thee to kick against goads.

And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou drivest out.

But arise, and stand upon thy feet: for, for this was I sent to thee, to take thee in hand, a servant and witness both of what things thou sawest, and of what I shall be seen to thee;

And he defending himself by these, Festus said with a great voice, Thou art frenzied, Paul; many letters turn thee to madness.

Believest thou the prophets, king Agrippa? I know that thou believest.

And Agrippa said to Paul, In a little thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

Saying, Fear not, Paul; Thou must stand before Caesar: and, behold, God has bestowed on thee as a gift all these sailing with thee.

And we desire to hear from thee what thou thinkest: for truly of this sect it is known to us that it is everywhere spoken against.
