Acts:9:1-20
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Saul ,
yet breathing out (
5723 )
threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord ,
went (
5631 )
unto the high priest ,
*
And desired (
5668 )
of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues ,
that if he found (
5632 )
any of this way ,
whether they were (
5752 )
men or women ,
he might bring them (
5632 )
bound (
5772 )
unto Jerusalem .
*
And as he journeyed (
5738 ),
he came (
5633 )
near (
5721 )
Damascus :
and suddenly there shined round about (
5656 )
him a light from heaven :
*
And he fell (
5631 )
to the earth ,
and heard (
5656 )
a voice saying (
5723 )
unto him ,
Saul ,
Saul ,
why persecutest thou (
5719 )
me ?
*
And he said (
5627 ),
Who art thou (
5748 ),
Lord ?
And the Lord said (
5627 ),
I am (
5748 )
Jesus whom thou persecutest (
5719 ):
it is hard for thee to kick (
5721 )
against the pricks .
*
And he trembling (
5723 )
and astonished (
5723 )
said (
5627 ),
Lord ,
what wilt thou have (
5719 )
me to do (
5658 )?
And the Lord said unto him ,
Arise (
5628 ),
and go (
5628 )
into the city ,
and it shall be told (
5701 )
thee what thou must (
5748 )
do (
5721 ).
*
And the men which journeyed (
5723 )
with him stood (
5715 )
speechless ,
hearing (
5723 )
a voice ,
but seeing (
5723 )
no man .
*
And Saul arose (
5681 )
from the earth ;
and when his eyes were opened (
5772 ),
he saw (
5707 )
no man :
but they led him by the hand (
5723 ),
and brought (
5627 )
him into Damascus .
*
And he was (
5713 )
three days without sight (
5723 ),
and neither did eat (
5627 )
nor drink (
5627 ).
*
And there was (
5713 )
a certain disciple at Damascus ,
named Ananias ;
and to him said (
5627 )
the Lord in a vision ,
Ananias .
And he said (
5627 ),
Behold (
5628 ),
I am here ,
Lord .
*
And the Lord said unto him ,
Arise (
5631 ),
and go (
5676 )
into the street which is called (
5746 )
Straight ,
and enquire (
5657 )
in the house of Judas for one called Saul ,
of Tarsus :
for ,
behold (
5628 ),
he prayeth (
5736 ),
*
And hath seen (
5627 )
in a vision a man named Ananias coming in (
5631 ),
and putting his hand on (
5631 )
him ,
that he might receive his sight (
5661 ).
*
Then Ananias answered (
5662 ),
Lord ,
I have heard (
5754 )
by many of this man ,
how much evil he hath done (
5656 )
to thy saints at Jerusalem :
*
And here he hath (
5719 )
authority from the chief priests to bind (
5658 )
all that call (
5734 )
on thy name .
*
But the Lord said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Go thy way (
5737 ):
for he is (
5748 )
a chosen vessel unto me ,
to bear (
5658 )
my name before the Gentiles ,
and kings ,
and the children of Israel :
*
For I will shew (
5692 )
him how great things he must (
5748 )
suffer (
5629 )
for my names sake .
*
And Ananias went his way (
5627 ),
and entered (
5627 )
into the house ;
and putting (
5631 )
his hands on him said (
5627 ),
Brother Saul ,
the Lord ,
even Jesus ,
that appeared (
5685 )
unto thee in the way as thou camest (
5711 ),
hath sent (
5758 )
me ,
that thou mightest receive thy sight (
5661 ),
and be filled with (
5686 )
the Holy Ghost .
*
And immediately there fell (
5627 )
from his eyes as it had been scales :
and he received sight (
5656 )
forthwith ,
and arose (
5631 ),
and was baptized (
5681 ).
*
And when he had received (
5631 )
meat ,
he was strengthened (
5656 ).
Then was (
5633 )
Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus .
*
And straightway he preached (
5707 )
Christ in the synagogues ,
that he is (
5748 )
the Son of God .
