As also the high

bear me witness,
and all the estate of the

received letters unto the

bring them which
were there bound un

to be
punished.

And it came to

and was come

shone from heaven a
great light round about me.

And I
said,
What shall I

Lord said unto me,Arise, and
go into Damascus; and
there it shall be

appointed for
