emtv - Acts:9:1-25

emtv@Acts:9:1 @ Then Saul, still breathing murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest

emtv@Acts:9:2 @ and requested from him letters [of authority ]to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he should find any who were of the Way, both men or women, he might bring them, having been bound, to Jerusalem.

emtv@Acts:9:3 @ And as he was going, it came about that he drew near to Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven.

emtv@Acts:9:4 @ And falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?"

emtv@Acts:9:5 @ And he said, "Who are You, Lord?"And the Lord said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.

emtv@Acts:9:6 @ "But rise up and enter into the city, and it will be spoken to you what you must do."

emtv@Acts:9:7 @ And the men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one.

emtv@Acts:9:8 @ And Saul got up from the ground, and although his eyes were open, he saw no one; and leading him by the hand, they brought [him] into Damascus.

emtv@Acts:9:9 @ And he was three days not seeing, and neither ate nor drank.

emtv@Acts:9:10 @ Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias."And he said, "Behold I [am here], Lord."

emtv@Acts:9:11 @ And the Lord said to him, "Arise and go to Straight Street, and seek out in the house of Judas a man named Saul, of Tarsus; for behold, he is praying.

emtv@Acts:9:12 @ And he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him, so that he might see again."

emtv@Acts:9:13 @ But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many wicked things he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem;

emtv@Acts:9:14 @ and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who are calling on Your name."

emtv@Acts:9:15 @ But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen vessel to Me to bear My name before Gentiles and kings, and the sons of Israel.

emtv@Acts:9:16 @ For I will show him all the things that he must suffer for My name's sake."

emtv@Acts:9:17 @ And Ananias departed and entered the house; and laying his hands on him, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord has sent me, He who appeared to you in the way which you were coming, so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

emtv@Acts:9:18 @ And immediately[ something] like scales fell from his eyes, and he could see again. And he got up and was baptized.

emtv@Acts:9:19 @ And when he had received food, he was strengthened. Now Saul was with the disciples in Damascus three days.

emtv@Acts:9:20 @ And immediately in the synagogues he was proclaiming Christ, that He is the Son of God.

emtv@Acts:9:21 @ And all those who heard were astounded, and were saying, "Is this not the one who destroyed those who called on this name in Jerusalem, and has come here for that purpose, so that he might take them having been bound, to the chief priests?"

emtv@Acts:9:22 @ But Saul all the more was growing strong, and was confounding the Jews who were dwelling in Damascus, proving that this [Jesus] is the Christ.

emtv@Acts:9:23 @ Now when many days were fulfilled, the Jews plotted to kill him.

emtv@Acts:9:24 @ But their plot became known to Saul. And they closely watched the [city] gates both day and night, in order that they might kill him.

emtv@Acts:9:25 @ But the disciples, taking him by night, they let him down through the wall, lowering [him ]in a basket.
