Acts 9

New International Version NIV

1 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest

2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.

3 As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.

4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied.

6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone.

8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.

9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.

10 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, “Ananias!”“Yes, Lord,” he answered.

11 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.

12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.”

13 “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people in Jerusalem.

14 And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name.”

15 But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel.

16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.”

17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, 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.”

18 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized,

19 and after taking some food, he regained his strength. Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.

20 At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God.

21 All those who heard him were astonished and asked, “Isn’t he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”

22 Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Messiah.

23 After many days had gone by, there was a conspiracy among the Jews to kill him,

24 but Saul learned of their plan. Day and night they kept close watch on the city gates in order to kill him.

25 But his followers took him by night and lowered him in a basket through an opening in the wall.

26 When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple.

27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus.

28 So Saul stayed with them and moved about freely in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.

29 He talked and debated with the Hellenistic Jews, but they tried to kill him.

30 When the believers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.

31 Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace and was strengthened. Living in the fear of the Lord and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.

32 As Peter traveled about the country, he went to visit the Lord’s people who lived in Lydda.

33 There he found a man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed and had been bedridden for eight years.

34 “Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and roll up your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up.

35 All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.

36 In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good and helping the poor.

37 About that time she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upstairs room.

38 Lydda was near Joppa; so when the disciples heard that Peter was in Lydda, they sent two men to him and urged him, “Please come at once!”

39 Peter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.

40 Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, “Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.

41 He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet. Then he called for the believers, especially the widows, and presented her to them alive.

42 This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.

43 Peter stayed in Joppa for some time with a tanner named Simon.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 Saulus autem adhuc inspirans minarum et caedis in discipulos Domini accessit ad principem sacerdotum

2 et petiit ab eo epistulas in Damascum ad synagogas ut si quos invenisset huius viae viros ac mulieres vinctos perduceret in Hierusalem

3 et cum iter faceret contigit ut adpropinquaret Damasco et subito circumfulsit eum lux de caelo

4 et cadens in terram audivit vocem dicentem sibi Saule Saule quid me persequeris

5 qui dixit quis es Domine et ille ego sum Iesus quem tu persequeris

6 []

7 sed surge et ingredere civitatem et dicetur tibi quid te oporteat facere viri autem illi qui comitabantur cum eo stabant stupefacti audientes quidem vocem neminem autem videntes

8 surrexit autem Saulus de terra apertisque oculis nihil videbat ad manus autem illum trahentes introduxerunt Damascum

9 et erat tribus diebus non videns et non manducavit neque bibit

10 erat autem quidam discipulus Damasci nomine Ananias et dixit ad illum in visu Dominus Anania at ille ait ecce ego Domine

11 et Dominus ad illum surgens vade in vicum qui vocatur Rectus et quaere in domo Iudae Saulum nomine Tarsensem ecce enim orat

12 et vidit virum Ananiam nomine introeuntem et inponentem sibi manus ut visum recipiat

13 respondit autem Ananias Domine audivi a multis de viro hoc quanta mala sanctis tuis fecerit in Hierusalem

14 et hic habet potestatem a principibus sacerdotum alligandi omnes qui invocant nomen tuum

15 dixit autem ad eum Dominus vade quoniam vas electionis est mihi iste ut portet nomen meum coram gentibus et regibus et filiis Israhel

16 ego enim ostendam illi quanta oporteat eum pro nomine meo pati

17 et abiit Ananias et introivit in domum et inponens ei manus dixit Saule frater Dominus misit me Iesus qui apparuit tibi in via qua veniebas ut videas et implearis Spiritu Sancto

18 et confestim ceciderunt ab oculis eius tamquam squamae et visum recepit et surgens baptizatus est

19 et cum accepisset cibum confortatus est fuit autem cum discipulis qui erant Damasci per dies aliquot

20 et continuo in synagogis praedicabat Iesum quoniam hic est Filius Dei

21 stupebant autem omnes qui audiebant et dicebant nonne hic est qui expugnabat in Hierusalem eos qui invocabant nomen istud et huc ad hoc venit ut vinctos illos duceret ad principes sacerdotum

22 Saulus autem magis convalescebat et confundebat Iudaeos qui habitabant Damasci adfirmans quoniam hic est Christus

23 cum implerentur autem dies multi consilium fecerunt Iudaei ut eum interficerent

24 notae autem factae sunt Saulo insidiae eorum custodiebant autem et portas die ac nocte ut eum interficerent

25 accipientes autem discipuli eius nocte per murum dimiserunt eum submittentes in sporta

26 cum autem venisset in Hierusalem temptabat iungere se discipulis et omnes timebant eum non credentes quia esset discipulus

27 Barnabas autem adprehensum illum duxit ad apostolos et narravit illis quomodo in via vidisset Dominum et quia locutus est ei et quomodo in Damasco fiducialiter egerit in nomine Iesu

28 et erat cum illis intrans et exiens in Hierusalem et fiducialiter agens in nomine Domini

29 loquebatur quoque et disputabat cum Graecis illi autem quaerebant occidere eum

30 quod cum cognovissent fratres deduxerunt eum Caesaream et dimiserunt Tarsum

31 ecclesia quidem per totam Iudaeam et Galilaeam et Samariam habebat pacem et aedificabatur ambulans in timore Domini et consolatione Sancti Spiritus replebatur

32 factum est autem Petrum dum pertransiret universos devenire et ad sanctos qui habitabant Lyddae

33 invenit autem ibi hominem quendam nomine Aeneam ab annis octo iacentem in grabatto qui erat paralyticus

34 et ait illi Petrus Aeneas sanat te Iesus Christus surge et sterne tibi et continuo surrexit

35 et viderunt illum omnes qui habitabant Lyddae et Saronae qui conversi sunt ad Dominum

36 in Ioppe autem fuit quaedam discipula nomine Tabitas quae interpretata dicitur Dorcas haec erat plena operibus bonis et elemosynis quas faciebat

37 factum est autem in diebus illis ut infirmata moreretur quam cum lavissent posuerunt eam in cenaculo

38 cum autem prope esset Lydda ab Ioppe discipuli audientes quia Petrus esset in ea miserunt duos viros ad eum rogantes ne pigriteris venire usque ad nos

39 exsurgens autem Petrus venit cum illis et cum advenisset duxerunt illum in cenaculum et circumsteterunt illum omnes viduae flentes et ostendentes tunicas et vestes quas faciebat illis Dorcas

40 eiectis autem omnibus foras Petrus ponens genua oravit et conversus ad corpus dixit Tabita surge at illa aperuit oculos suos et viso Petro resedit

41 dans autem illi manum erexit eam et cum vocasset sanctos et viduas adsignavit eam vivam

42 notum autem factum est per universam Ioppen et crediderunt multi in Domino

43 factum est autem ut dies multos moraretur in Ioppe apud quendam Simonem coriarium
