1Tos de Saulos ēti empnarōntos apeilau kai fonou eis toin mathētoin tou kuriou, prosercharantos to archierevoMeanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord.

They heard the voice but did not see anyone. 8egerita de ⸀Saulos apo tau gēau, anoigorēntoiu ⸀de toiu ofthalmoiu autou ⸀oudenem blepate; cheiragōgarōntois de auton eisagala eis Damaskan.Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see a thing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9kai ate hēmerain treis mē bleparōntos, kai ouk esthiata oude pinata.For three days he was without sight, and he did not eat or drink anything. 10Ate de tinos mathētos en Damaska onome Hananios, kai legata pros auton ⸂en horame tos kurios;⸃ Hananior. tos de legata; Idou mis, kurior.In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Here I am, Lord,” he answered. 11tos de kurios pros auton; ⸀Anastēarantos poreuisar epi tan ruman tan kalorōntan Euthuan kai zētasar en oikia Ioudou Saulon onome Tarsevon, idou gar proseuchotō,“Get up!” the Lord told him. “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. 12kai horata ⸂andron en horame Hananion onome⸃ eisercharanton kai epititharanton auto ⸀cheirain hopōs anablepateia.In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.” 13apokrinita de Hananios; Kurior, ⸀akouama apo polloiu peri tou androu houtou, hoseim kakoseim ⸂toi hagioi su poiata⸃ en Ierousalēm;But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man and all the harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem. 14kai hōde echatō exousian para toiu archierevoiu dara pantoin toin epikalorōntoin tem onomem su.And now he is here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name.” 15legata de pros auton tos kurios; Poreuosōr, hoti skevem eklogau ⸂atō mi⸃ houtos teu bastazara tem onomem mu enōpion ⸀ethneiu ⸀tē kai basilevoiu huioiu tē Israēl,“Go!” said the Lord. “This man is My chosen instrument to carry My name before the Gentiles and their kings, and before the people of Israel. 16mis gar hupodeikami auto hoseim datō auton huper teu onomeu mu paschara.I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.” 17aperchata de Hananios kai eiserchata eis tan oikian, kai epititharantos epi auton tain cheirain legata; Saoul adelfor, tos kurios apostelatē min, ⸀Iēsus tos horirantos si en ta hoda ha erchose, hopōs anablepaseia kai pimplēiseia pneumeu hagieu.So Ananias went to the house, and when he arrived, he placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18kai eutheōs apopiptala ⸂autou apo toiu ofthalmoiu⸃ ⸀hōs lepidais, anablepata tē kai anastēarantos baptizita,At that instant, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. He got up and was baptized, 19kai labarantos trofēan ⸀enischuata. Geneta ⸀de meta toiu en Damaska mathētoiu hēmerain tinain,and after taking some food, he regained his strength. And he spent several days with the disciples in Damascus. 20kai eutheōs en tai sunagōgai kērussate ton ⸀Iēsun hoti houtos atō tos huios tou theou.Saul promptly began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, declaring, “He is the Son of God.” 21ekstēole de pantois tois akouarōntois kai legale; Ouk houtos atō tos portharantos ⸀en Ierousalēm toin epikalorōntoin tem onomem houtem, kai hōde eis houtem erchatelē hina dorēntoin autoin agateia epi toin archierevoin?All who heard him were astounded and asked, “Isn’t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?” 22Saulos de mallon endunamote kai ⸀sunchate ⸀toin Ioudaioin toin katoikarōntoin en Damaska, sumbibazarōntos hoti houtos atō tos christos.But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ. 23Hōs de plērole hēmerais hikanais, sumbouleuela tois Ioudaiois anairara auton;After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him, 24gnōskita de to Saulo tas epiboulas autoiu. ⸂paratērole de kai⸃ tain pulain hēmerau tē kai nuktau hopōs auton anairaleia;but Saul learned of their plot. Day and night they watched the city gates in order to kill him. 25labarantois de ⸂tois mathētois autou⸃ nuktau ⸂dia teu teicheu kathiēkala auton⸃ chalarantois en spurida.One night, however, his disciples took him and lowered him in a basket through a window in the wall. 26Paragenerantos de ⸀eis Ierousalēm ⸀peirazate kollorō toi mathētoi; kai pantois fobole auton, mē pisteuarōntois hoti atō mathētos.When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple. 27Barnabos de epilaberantos auton agata pros toin apostoloin, kai diēgeta autoi pōs en ta hoda horata ton kurion kai hoti lalata auto kai pōs en Damaska parrēsiazeta en te onome ⸀tou Iēsu.Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and described how Saul had seen the Lord, who had spoken to him on the road to Damascus, and how Saul had spoken boldly in that city in the name of Jesus. 28kai ate meta autoiu eisporeuorōntos ⸂kai ekporeuorōntos⸃ eis ⸀Ierousalēm, parrēsiazorōntos en te onome tou ⸀kuriou,So Saul stayed with them, moving about freely in Jerusalem and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. 29lalate tē kai suzētate pros toin Hellēnistoin; tois de epicheirale ⸂anairara auton.⸃He talked and debated with the Grecian Jews, but they tried to kill him. 30epignōskarantois de tois adelfois katagala auton eis Kaisareian kai exapostelala auton eis Tarsan.When the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus. 31⸂Tas men oun ekklēsas kata holau tau Ioudaiau kai Galilaiau kai Samareiau echate eirēnan oikodomorōntas, kai poreuorōntas to fobo tou kuriou kai ta paraklēsia teu hagieu pneumeu plēthunote.⸃Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria experienced a time of peace. It grew in strength and numbers, living in the fear of the Lord and the encouragement of the Holy Spirit. 32Geneta de Petron dierchorōnton dia panteiu katerchara kai pros toin hagioin toin katoikarōntoin Luddan.As Peter traveled throughout the area, he went to visit the saints in Lydda. 33heuriskata de ekei anthrōpon tinon ⸂onome Aineon⸃ ek eteiu oktō katakeiorōnton epi ⸀krabattou, hos ate paraluorēntos.There he found a man named Aeneas who had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight years. 34kai legata auto tos Petros; Aineor, iotō sin Iēsus ⸀Christos; anastēasar kai strōnnuasar siauto; kai eutheōs anastēata.“Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you!

On his arrival, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them. 40ekbalarantos de exō pantoin tos Petros ⸀kai titharantos teim gonueim proseucheta, kai epistrefarantos pros tem sōmem legata; Tabitha, anastēasar. tas de anoigata toin ofthalmoin autau, kai horarantas ton Petron anakathizata.Then Peter sent them all out of the room. He knelt down and prayed, and turning toward her body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up. 41dōarantos de auta cheiran anastēata autan, fōnarantos de toin hagioin kai tain chērain parastēata autan zōarōntan.Peter took her by the hand and helped her up. Then he called the saints and widows and presented her to them alive. 42gnōstem de geneta kata holau ⸀tau Ioppau, kai ⸂pisteuala pollois⸃ epi ton kurion.This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord. 43geneta ⸀de hēmerain hikanain ⸀menara en Ioppa para tino Simōno bursevo.And Peter stayed for several days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
