1 And Saul yet brethynge oute threatnynges and slaughter agaynst ye disciples of the lorde went vnto ye hye preste
But Saul still breathing out threats and murder toward the disciples of the Lord, having gone to the high priest,
2 and desyred of him letters to Damasco to ye synagoges: that yf he founde eny of this waye whether they were men or wemen he myght bringe them bounde vnto Ierusalem.
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.
3 But as he went on his iorney it fortuned yt he drue nye to Damasco and sodenly ther shyned rounde about him a lyght fro heven.
In now proceeding it came to pass [as] he [is] drawing near to Damascus, suddenly (also *N(k)O*) him flashed around a light (from *N(k)O*) heaven;
4 And he fell to ye erth and hearde a voyce sayinge to him: Saul Saul why persecutest thou me?
And having fallen on the ground he heard a voice saying to him; Saul Saul, why Me do you persecute?
5 And he sayde what arte thou lorde? And the lorde sayd I am Iesus whom thou persecutest it shalbe harde for ye to kycke agaynst ye pricke.
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*)
6 And he bothe tremblynge and astonyed sayde: Lorde what wilt thou have me to do? And ye Lorde sayde vnto him: aryse and goo into the cite and it shalbe tolde the what thou shalt do.
(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.
7 The men which iornayed with him stode amased for they herde a voyce but sawe no man.
And the men those traveling with him had stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice, no one however seeing.
8 And Saul arose from the erth and opened his eyes but sawe no man. Then ledde they him by the honde and brought him into Damasco.
Rose up then (*k*) Saul from the ground, opened (however *NK(o)*) the eyes of him (no [thing] *N(k)O*) he was seeing; Leading by the hand then him they brought [him] to Damascus.
9 And he was. iii. dayes with out syght and nether ate nor dranke.
And he was days three without seeing and neither did he eat nor drink.
10 And ther was a certayne disciple at Damasco named Ananias and to him sayde the lorde in a vision: Ananias. And the he sayde: beholde I am here lorde.
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.
11 And the lorde sayde to him: aryse and goo into the strete which is called strayght and seke in the housse of Iudas after one called Saul of Tharsus. For beholde he prayeth
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
12 and hath sene in a vision a man named Ananias comynge in to him and puttynge his hondes on him that he myght receave his syght.
and he saw a man in a vision Ananias named having come and having put on him (the *no*) (hands, *N(K)O*) so that he may see again.
13 Then Ananias answered: Lorde I have hearde by many of this man how moche evell he hath done to thy sainctes at Ierusalem
Answered but (*k*) Ananias; Lord, (I have heard *N(k)O*) from many concerning man this, how many evils to the saints of You he did in Jerusalem;
14 and here he hath auctorite of the hye prestes to bynde all that call on thy name.
and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all those calling on the name of You.
15 The lorde sayde vnto him: Goo thy wayes: for he is a chosen vessell vnto me to beare my name before the gentyls and kynges and the chyldren of Israel.
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.
16 For I will shewe him how great thinges he must suffre for my names sake.
I myself for will show to him how much it behooves him for the name of Me to suffer.
17 Ananias went his waye and entryd into ye housse and put his hondes on him and sayde: brother Saul the lorde that apperyd vnto the in the waye as thou camst hath sent me that thou myghtest receave thy syght and be filled with the holy goost.
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.
18 And immediatly ther fell from his eyes as it had bene scales and he receaved syght and arose and was baptised
And immediately fell of him from the eyes (as *N(k)O*) scales, he regained his sight also (immediately *K*) And having risen up he was baptized,
19 and receaved meate and was comforted. Then was Saul a certayne daye wt the disciples which were at Damasco.
and having taken food (he strengthened. *NK(o)*) He was now (Saul *k*) with those in Damascus [the] disciple, s days [for] some;
20 And streyght waye he preached Christ in the synagoges how that he was the sonne of God.
And immediately in the synagogues he was proclaiming (Jesus, *N(K)O*) that He is the Son of God.
21 All that hearde him were amased and sayde: is not this he that spoyled the which called on this name in Ierusalem and came hyther for ye entent that he shuld bringe the bounde vnto the hye prestes?
Were amazed then all those hearing and were saying; Surely this is the [one] having caused havoc (in *N(k)O*) Jerusalem those calling on name this? And here for this he had come that bound them he may bring to the chief priests.
22 But Saul encreased in stregth and confounded the Iewes which dwelte at Damasco affirminge that this was very Christ.
Saul however all the more was empowered and was confounding the Jews those dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 And after a good whyle ye Iewes toke counsell to gether to kyll him.
When now were passed days many, plotted together the Jews to execute him;
24 But their layinge awayte was knowen of Saul. And they watched at the gates daye and nyght to kyll him.
became known however to Saul the plot of them. (They were themselves watching now *N(k)O*) (also *no*) the gates by day and also night, so that him they may execute;
25 Then ye disciples toke him by night and put him thorow the wall and let him doune in a basket.
having taken however the disciples (of him *NO*) by night through the wall they let down him having lowered [him] in a basket.
26 And when Saul was come to Ierusalem he assayde to cople him silfe with ye discyples and they were all afrayde of hym and beleued not that he was a disciple.
Having arrived then (Saul *k*) (in *NK(o)*) Jerusalem (he was trying *N(k)O*) to join to the disciples; And all were afraid of him not believing that he is a disciple.
27 But Bernabas toke hym and brought hym to ye apostles and declared to the how he had sene ye Lorde in ye waye and had spoke wyth hym: and how he had done boldely at damasco in the name of Iesu.
Barnabas however having taken him he brought [him] to the apostles and he related to them how on the road he had seen the Lord and that He had spoken to him and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.
28 And he had his conuersacion with them at Ierusalem
And he was with them coming in and going out (in *N(k)O*) Jerusalem,
29 and quit hym silfe boldly in the name of the lorde Iesu. And he spake and disputed wyth the grekes: and they went aboute to slee hym.
(and *k*) speaking boldly in the name of the Lord (Jesus, *K*) He was speaking also and he was debating with the Hellenists; but they were seeking to execute him.
30 But when the brethren knew of that they brought hym to cesarea and sent hym forth to Tharsus.
Having known [it] however the brothers brought down him to Caesarea and sent away him to Tarsus.
31 Then had ye congregacios rest thorowoute all Iewry and galile and Samary and were edified and walked in the feare of the lorde and multiplied by the comforte of the holy gost.
(the *N(k)O*) indeed then (church *N(K)O*) throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria (had *N(k)O*) peace, (being edified *N(k)O*) and (going on *N(k)O*) in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit (it were multiplied. *N(k)O*)
32 And it chaunsed yt as Peter walked throughoute all quarters he ca to ye saynctes which dwelt at Lydda
It came to pass that now Peter passing through all [quarters] descending also to the saints those inhabiting Lydda.
33 and there he foude a certayne ma namyd Eneas whych had kepte hys bed viii. yere sicke of the palsie.
He found then there a man certain named Aeneas for years eight lying on (a bed *N(k)O*) who was paralyzed.
34 Then sayde Peter vnto hym: Eneas Iesus Christ make ye whole. Aryse and make thy beed. And he arose immedyatly.
And said to him Peter; Aeneas, heals you Jesus (*k*) Christ; do rise up and do make the bed for yourself. And immediately he rose up;
35 And all that dwelt at lydda and assaron sawe hym and tourned to the lorde.
And saw him all those inhabiting Lydda and (Sharon, *NK(o)*) who turned to the Lord.
36 Ther was at Ioppe a certayne woma (whiche was a disciple named Tabitha which by interpretacion is called dorcas) the same was full of good workes and almes dedes which she did.
In Joppa now certain there was a disciple named Tabitha, which being translated is called Dorcas; She was full of works good and of alms that she was doing;
37 And it chaunsed in those dayes that she was sicke and dyed. When they had wesshed her and layd her in a chamber:
It came to pass however in the days those [that] having become sick she to die; Having washed [her] then put [her] they in an upper room.
38 Because Lydda was nye to Ioppa and the disciples had hearde that Peter was there they sent vnto hym desyrynge him that he wolde not be greved to come vnto them.
Near now being Lydda to Joppa the disciples having heard that Peter is in it, sent two men to him imploring; Not (you may delay *N(k)O*) coming to (us. *N(K)O*)
39 Peter arose and came with them and when he was come they brought him in to ye chamber. And all ye wydowes stode roude aboute hym wepynge and shewynge the cotes and garmentes which Dorcas made whill she was with the.
Having risen up then Peter went with them; who having arrived they brought [him] into the upper room, And stood by him all the widows weeping and showing [the] tunics and garments how much was making with them being Dorcas.
40 And Peter put the all forth and kneled doune and prayde and turned him to ye body and sayde: Tabitha aryse. And she opened her eyes and whe she sawe Peter she sat vp.
Having put then outside all Peter and having bowed the knees he prayed; And having turned to the body he said; Tabitha, do arise. And she opened the eyes of her and having seen Peter she sat up.
41 And he gave her ye honde and lyft her up and called the sainctes and wydowes and shewed her alyve.
Having given then to her [his] hand he raised up her; Having called then the saints and the widows he presented her living.
42 And it was knowne throwout all Ioppa and many beleved on the Lorde.
Known then it became throughout all of Joppa, and believed many on the Lord.
43 And it fortuned that he taryed many dayes in Ioppa with one Simon a tanner.
It came to pass then days many staying (he *ko*) in Joppa with a certain Simon a tanner.
