strkjv@Acts:22:3
@
I
am
verily
a
man
which am a
Jew
,
born
in
Tarsus

Cilicia

brought
up
in
this
city
at
the
feet
of
Gamaliel

taught
according
to the perfect
manner

I
persecuted

binding

both

I
received
letters
unto
the

went
to
Damascus

bring
them which
were
there
bound
unto
Jerusalem

to
be
punished

it came to

about
noon

suddenly
there
shone
from
heaven
a
great
light
round

And
I
fell
unto

Saul

Saul

why
persecutest
thou
me

I
answered

Who
art
thou

I
am
Jesus

thou
persecutest

@
And
they that
were
with

saw
indeed
the
light

were
afraid

they
heard
not
the
voice
of him that
spake
to
me

strkjv@Acts:22:10
@
And
I
said

What
shall I
do

Lord

the
Lord
said

Arise
, and
go
into
Damascus

there
it shall be
told
thee
of
all
things
which
are
appointed
for
thee
to
do

came

Came
unto

stood

said
unto

Brother

hour
I
looked
up
upon
him

strkjv@Acts:22:14
@

he
said

chosen

One

@
And
it came to

I
was come
again
to
Jerusalem

even
while
I
prayed
in
the
temple

I
was
in
a
trance

strkjv@Acts:22:18

saw
him
saying
unto

haste

get
thee
quickly
out
of
Jerusalem

for
they
will
not
receive
thy
testimony
concerning

I
said

Lord

believed
on
thee

strkjv@Acts:22:20
@
And
when
the
blood
of
thy

Stephen

shed

I
also
was
standing
by

consenting
unto
his
death

kept
the
raiment
of them that
slew
him

he

Depart

send
thee
far
hence
unto

Gentiles

strkjv@Acts:22:22
@
And
they
gave
him
audience
unto
this
word

then lifted
up
their
voices

said
, Away
with
such
a fellow
from
the
earth

for
it
is
not
fit
that
he
should
live

as
they
cried
out

cast
off

threw

strkjv@Acts:22:24
@ The chief
captain
commanded
him

bade

scourging

know
wherefore
they
cried
so
against
him

strkjv@Acts:22:25
@
And
as
they
bound
him
with
thongs

Paul
said
unto
the
centurion
that stood
by
, Is it
lawful
for
you
to
scourge
a
man
that is a
Roman
,
and
uncondemned
?
strkjv@Acts:22:26
@
When
the
centurion
heard
that, he
went

told

saying
, Take
heed
what
thou
doest

a
Roman

Yea

I
this

departed

the chief

was
afraid

had
bound
him

strkjv@Acts:22:30
@
On the
morrow

would
have
known
the
certainty
wherefore
he was
accused
of
the
Jews

loosed
him
from
his
bands

commanded

council
to
appear

brought
Paul
down

him
before
