2 cam to the prince of preestis, and axide of hym lettris in to Damask, to the synagogis; that if he fond ony men and wymmen of this lijf, he schulde lede hem boundun to Jerusalem.
et petiit ab eo epistulas in Damascum ad synagogas ut si quos invenisset huius viae viros ac mulieres vinctos perduceret in Hierusalem
3 And whanne he made his iourney, it bifelde, that he cam nyy to Damask. And sudenli a liyt from heuene schoon aboute hym;
et cum iter faceret contigit ut adpropinquaret Damasco et subito circumfulsit eum lux de caelo
4 and he fallide to the erthe, and herde a vois seiynge to hym, Saul, Saul, what pursuest thou me?
et cadens in terram audivit vocem dicentem sibi Saule Saule quid me persequeris
5 And he seide, Who art thou, Lord? And he seide, Y am Jhesu of Nazareth, whom thou pursuest. It is hard to thee, to kike ayens the pricke.
qui dixit quis es Domine et ille ego sum Iesus quem tu persequeris
6 And he tremblide, and wondride, and seide, Lord, what wolt thou that Y do?
sed surge et ingredere civitatem et dicetur tibi quid te oporteat facere
7 And the Lord seide to hym, Rise vp, and entre in to the citee, and it schal be seide to thee, what it bihoueth thee to do. And tho men that wenten with hym, stoden astonyed; for thei herden a vois, but thei sien no man.
viri autem illi qui comitabantur cum eo stabant stupefacti audientes quidem vocem neminem autem videntes
8 And Saul roos fro the earth; and whanne hise iyen weren opened, he say no thing. And thei drowen hym bi the hondis, and ledden hym in to Damask.
surrexit autem Saulus de terra apertisque oculis nihil videbat ad manus autem illum trahentes introduxerunt Damascum
9 And he was thre daies not seynge; `and he eete not, nether drank.
et erat tribus diebus non videns et non manducavit neque bibit
10 And a disciple, Ananye bi name, was at Damask. And the Lord seide to hym in `a visioun, Ananye. And he seide, Lo!

12 Ananye bi name, entringe and leiynge on hym hoondis, that he resseyue siyt.
et vidit virum Ananiam nomine introeuntem et inponentem sibi manus ut visum recipiat
13 And Ananye answerde, Lord, Y haue herd of many of this man, how greete yuelis he dide to thi seyntis in Jerusalem;
respondit autem Ananias Domine audivi a multis de viro hoc quanta mala sanctis tuis fecerit in Hierusalem
14 and this hath power of the princis of preestis, to bynde alle men that clepen thi name to helpe.
et hic habet potestatem a principibus sacerdotum alligandi omnes qui invocant nomen tuum
15 And the Lord seide to hym, Go thou, for this is to me a vessel of chesing, that he bere my name bifore hethene men, and kingis, and tofore the sones of Israel.

et abiit Ananias et introivit in domum et inponens ei manus dixit Saule frater Dominus misit me Iesus qui apparuit tibi in via qua veniebas ut videas et implearis Spiritu Sancto
18 And anoon as the scalis felden fro hise iyen, he resseyuede siyt. And he roos, and was baptisid.

20 And anoon he entride in to the synagogis, and prechide the Lord Jhesu, for this is the sone of God.
et continuo in synagogis praedicabat Iesum quoniam hic est Filius Dei

stupebant autem omnes qui audiebant et dicebant nonne hic est qui expugnabat in Hierusalem eos qui invocabant nomen istud et huc ad hoc venit ut vinctos illos duceret ad principes sacerdotum
22 But Saul myche more wexede strong, and confoundide the Jewis that dwelliden at Damask, and affermyde that this is Crist.
Saulus autem magis convalescebat et confundebat Iudaeos qui habitabant Damasci adfirmans quoniam hic est Christus

26 And whanne he cam in to Jerusalem, he assaiede to ioyne hym to the disciplis; and alle dredden hym, and leueden not that he was a disciple.
cum autem venisset in Hierusalem temptabat iungere se discipulis et omnes timebant eum non credentes quia esset discipulus
27 But Barnabas took, and ledde hym to the apostlis, and telde to hem, how in the weie he hadde seyn the Lord, and that he spak to hym, and hou in Damask he dide tristili in the name of Jhesu.

28 And he was with hem, and entride, and yede out in Jerusalem, and dide tristili in the name of Jhesu.
