The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with a strong arm led them out of it; and when he supported them about the time of forty years in the wilderness, and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them the inheritance of the land about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things he gave them judges, till Samuel the prophet. And then they asked for a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years; and having deposed him, he raised up to them David for a king; to whom witnessing he also said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who will do all my wishes. From whose seed according to the promise he led forth Jesus, the Savior, to Israel: and John having preached the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel, before the face of his coming. And when John fulfilled his course, he said, What do you consider me to be? I am not he: but, behold, there comes one after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose. Men, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, unto us the word of this salvation was sent. For those dwelling in Jerusalem, and the rulers, having rejected him, condemning him, have fulfilled the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath; and having found no cause of death, asked Pilate that he should be executed; and when they perfected all the things which had been written concerning him, taking him down from the cross, placed him in a sepulchre. And God raised him from the dead; who appeared to those coming up with him to Jerusalem from Galilee many days, who are now his witnesses to the people. And we preach unto you the promise, which was made to the fathers, that God has fulfilled this unto our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second Psalm it has been written, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. And because he raised him up from the dead, no longer about to return to corruption, He has thus said, I will give unto you the faithful mercies of David. Therefore He also says in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. For David, indeed having served his own generation according to the will of God, went to sleep, and did see corruption: but he, whom God raised up, did not see corruption. Then let it be known unto you, men brethren, that through this one remission of sins is preached: and in him every one believing is justified from all things from which ye were not able to be justified by the law of Moses. Then beware, lest the word which has been spoken by the prophets may come upon you; Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: because I work a work in your days, a work which you may not believe, though one may proclaim it to you. And they going out, they continued to entreat them that these words should be spoken to them on the next Sabbath. And the synagogue having been adjourned, many of the Jews and pious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking with them, continued to persuade them to abide in the grace of God. And on the following Sabbath almost all the city came together to hear the word of the Lord. And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the word spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. And Paul and Barnabas speaking boldly, said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you: since you have rejected it, and judge yourselves not worthy of eternal life, behold we now turn to the Gentiles. For thus the Lord has commanded us, I have placed thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou shalt be for salvation unto the extremity of the earth. And the Gentiles hearing, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and so many as had been ordained unto eternal life believed: and the word of the Lord was carried throughout all the country. And the Jews stirred up the noble godly women, and the first men of the city, and they raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders. And having cast off the dust from their feet against them, they came into Iconium. And the disciples were filled with joy, and the Holy Ghost.

But stand up, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what it behooves thee to do. And the men journeying along with him stood speechless, indeed hearing the voice, but seeing no one. And Saul arose from the ground; and his eyes being open, he saw nothing: but leading him by the hand, they led him into Damascus; and he was three days not seeing, neither did he eat nor drink. And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, Ananias by name; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. And the Lord said to him, Arising, go to the street which is called Straight, and seek a Tarsean, by name Saul, in the house of Judas; for, behold, he is praying, and he saw a man, Ananias by name, coming in, and putting his hands on him, in order that he may look up. And Ananias responded, Lord I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints in Jerusalem: and he here has authority from the chief priests to bind all those calling on thy name. And the Lord said to him, Go: because he is a vessel of election to me, to bear my name both before the Gentiles, and kings, and sons of Israel: for I will show him how many things it behooves him to suffer for my name's sake. And Ananias departed, and came into the house: and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, Jesus, that appeared to you in the way in which thou didst come, hath sent me, that thou mayest look up, and he filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell from his eyes as scales: and he looked up; and having stood up, was baptized, and having received food, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples who were in Damascus some days; and immediately he was preaching Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. And all those hearing were astonished, and continued to say, Is not this the one laying waste those calling on this name in Jerusalem? and has come hither for this, that he may lead them bound to the chief priests. And Saul continued to be the more filled up with dynamite, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that Jesus is the Christ.

And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Rising up, go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee concerning all things which have been ordained for thee to do. And when I did not see on account of the glory of that light, and being led by the hand by those journeying with me, I came into Damascus. And a certain Ananias, a man godly according to the law, and of good report by all the Jews dwelling there, having come to me, and standing over me, said, Brother Saul, look up. And I at that hour looked up unto him. And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee to know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice from His mouth; because thou shalt be a witness for Him to all men of those things which thou hast seen and heard. And now why tarriest thou? arising, be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on His name. And it happened unto me, having returned into Jerusalem, and while I was praying in the temple, I was in an ecstasy; and I saw Him speaking to me, Hasten, and depart quickly out of Jerusalem, because they will not receive thy testimony concerning me. And I said, Lord, they know that I was imprisoning and binding those believing on thee throughout the synagogue;

Moreover indeed, I thought to myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus the Nazarene: which I did also in Jerusalem, and shut up many of the saints in prison; and having received authority from the chief priests, and they being slain, I gave my vote against them; and throughout all the synagogues, frequently punishing them, I compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceeding mad against them, I was persecuting them even also unto foreign cities. read more.

But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, having come to the high priest, asked from him letters to Damascus against the synagogues, in order that if he should find any being of the way, both men and women, he might lead them bound to Jerusalem. And it came to pass, while prosecuting the journey he drew near to Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven shone around him; read more.
and falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And He said, I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. But stand up, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what it behooves thee to do. And the men journeying along with him stood speechless, indeed hearing the voice, but seeing no one. And Saul arose from the ground; and his eyes being open, he saw nothing: but leading him by the hand, they led him into Damascus; and he was three days not seeing, neither did he eat nor drink. And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, Ananias by name; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. And the Lord said to him, Arising, go to the street which is called Straight, and seek a Tarsean, by name Saul, in the house of Judas; for, behold, he is praying, and he saw a man, Ananias by name, coming in, and putting his hands on him, in order that he may look up. And Ananias responded, Lord I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints in Jerusalem: and he here has authority from the chief priests to bind all those calling on thy name. And the Lord said to him, Go: because he is a vessel of election to me, to bear my name both before the Gentiles, and kings, and sons of Israel: for I will show him how many things it behooves him to suffer for my name's sake. And Ananias departed, and came into the house: and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, Jesus, that appeared to you in the way in which thou didst come, hath sent me, that thou mayest look up, and he filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell from his eyes as scales: and he looked up; and having stood up, was baptized, and having received food, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples who were in Damascus some days; and immediately he was preaching Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. And all those hearing were astonished, and continued to say, Is not this the one laying waste those calling on this name in Jerusalem? and has come hither for this, that he may lead them bound to the chief priests. And Saul continued to be the more filled up with dynamite, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that Jesus is the Christ. And when many days were being filled up, the Jews issued a verdict to kill him: but their plot was made known to Saul. And they were keeping the gates both day and night in order that they might kill him: and his disciples taking him, let him down through the wall in the night, lowering him in a basket. And arriving in Jerusalem, he was endeavoring to join himself to the disciples: and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple. But Barnabas taking him, led him to the apostles, and related to them how he saw the Lord on the way, and that He spoke to him, and how he preached boldly in Damascus in the name of Jesus. And he was with them going in and coming out in Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord; and he was speaking and arguing against the Hellenists, and they undertook to kill him. And the brethren, taking cognizance, led him to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus. Then indeed the church had peace throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, being edified and progressing in the fear of the Lord; and was being multiplied by the exhortation of the Holy Ghost.
