Actus Apostolorum 9

VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Saulus autem adhuc spirans minarum et cædis in discipulos Domini, accessit ad principem sacerdotum,	1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2 et petiit ab eo epistolas in Damascum ad synagogas : ut si quos invenisset hujus viæ viros ac mulieres, vinctos perduceret in Jerusalem.	2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3 Et cum iter faceret, contigit ut appropinquaret Damasco : et subito circumfulsit eum lux de cælo.	3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4 Et cadens in terram audivit vocem dicentem sibi : Saule, Saule, quid me persequeris ?	4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 Qui dixit : Quis es, domine ? Et ille : Ego sum Jesus, quem tu persequeris : durum est tibi contra stimulum calcitrare.	5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6 Et tremens ac stupens dixit : Domine, quid me vis facere ?	6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 Et Dominus ad eum : Surge, et ingredere civitatem, et ibi dicetur tibi quid te oporteat facere. Viri autem illi qui comitabantur cum eo, stabant stupefacti, audientes quidem vocem, neminem autem videntes.	7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
8 Surrexit autem Saulus de terra, apertisque oculis nihil videbat. Ad manus autem illum trahentes, introduxerunt Damascum.	8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 Et erat ibi tribus diebus non videns, et non manducavit, neque bibit.	9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
10 Erat autem quidam discipulus Damasci, nomine Ananias : et dixit ad illum in visu Dominus : Anania. At ille ait : Ecce ego, Domine.	10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
11 Et Dominus ad eum : Surge, et vade in vicum qui vocatur Rectus : et quære in domo Judæ Saulum nomine Tarsensem : ecce enim orat.	11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
12 (Et vidit virum Ananiam nomine, introëuntem, et imponentem sibi manus ut visum recipiat.)	12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
13 Respondit autem Ananias : Domine, audivi a multis de viro hoc, quanta mala fecerit sanctis tuis in Jerusalem :	13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 et hic habet potestatem a principibus sacerdotum alligandi omnes qui invocant nomen tuum.	14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
15 Dixit autem ad eum Dominus : Vade, quoniam vas electionis est mihi iste, ut portet nomen meum coram gentibus, et regibus, et filiis Israël.	15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
16 Ego enim ostendam illi quanta oporteat eum pro nomine meo pati.	16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
17 Et abiit Ananias, et introivit in domum : et imponens ei manus, dixit : Saule frater, Dominus misit me Jesus, qui apparuit tibi in via qua veniebas, ut videas, et implearis Spiritu Sancto.	17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 Et confestim ceciderunt ab oculis ejus tamquam squamæ, et visum recepit : et surgens baptizatus est.	18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
19 Et cum accepisset cibum, confortatus est. Fuit autem cum discipulis qui erant Damasci per dies aliquot.	19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
20 Et continuo in synagogis prædicabat Jesum, quoniam hic est Filius Dei.	20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
21 Stupebant autem omnes qui audiebant, et dicebant : Nonne hic est qui expugnabat in Jerusalem eos qui invocabant nomen istud : et huc ad hoc venit, ut vinctos illos duceret ad principes sacerdotum ?	21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
22 Saulus autem multo magis convalescebat, et confundebat Judæos qui habitabant Damasci, affirmans quoniam hic est Christus.	22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
23 Cum autem implerentur dies multi, consilium fecerunt in unum Judæi ut eum interficerent.	23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
24 Notæ autem factæ sunt Saulo insidiæ eorum. Custodiebant autem et portas die ac nocte, ut eum interficerent.	24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
25 Accipientes autem eum discipuli nocte, per murum dimiserunt eum, submittentes in sporta.	25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
26 Cum autem venisset in Jerusalem, tentabat se jungere discipulis, et omnes timebant eum, non credentes quod esset discipulus.	26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
27 Barnabas autem apprehensum 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 Jesu.	27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 Et erat cum illis intrans et exiens in Jerusalem, et fiducialiter agens in nomine Domini.	28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
29 Loquebatur quoque gentibus, et disputabat cum Græcis : illi autem quærebant occidere eum.	29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
30 Quod cum cognovissent fratres, deduxerunt eum Cæsaream, et dimiserunt Tarsum.	30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
31 Ecclesia quidem per totam Judæam, et Galilæam, et Samariam habebat pacem, et ædificabatur ambulans in timore Domini, et consolatione Sancti Spiritus replebatur.	31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
32 Factum est autem, ut Petrus dum pertransiret universos, deveniret ad sanctos qui habitabant Lyddæ.	32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
33 Invenit autem ibi hominem quemdam, nomine Æneam, ab annis octo jacentem in grabato, qui erat paralyticus.	33 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
34 Et ait illi Petrus : Ænea, sanat te Dominus Jesus Christus : surge, et sterne tibi. Et continuo surrexit.	34 And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
35 Et viderunt eum omnes qui habitabant Lyddæ et Saronæ : qui conversi sunt ad Dominum.	35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
36 In Joppe autem fuit quædam discipula, nomine Tabitha, quæ interpretata dicitur Dorcas. Hæc erat plena operibus bonis et eleemosynis quas faciebat.	36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
37 Factum est autem in diebus illis ut infirmata moreretur. Quam cum lavissent, posuerunt eam in cœnaculo.	37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
38 Cum autem prope esset Lydda ad Joppen, discipuli, audientes quia Petrus esset in ea, miserunt duos viros ad eum, rogantes : Ne pigriteris venire ad nos.	38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
39 Exsurgens autem Petrus, venit cum illis. Et cum advenisset, duxerunt illum in cœnaculum : et circumsteterunt illum omnes viduæ flentes, et ostendentes ei tunicas et vestes quas faciebat illis Dorcas.	39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
40 Ejectis autem omnibus foras, Petrus ponens genua oravit : et conversus ad corpus, dixit : Tabitha, surge. At illa aperuit oculos suos : et viso Petro, resedit.	40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 Dans autem illi manum, erexit eam. Et cum vocasset sanctos et viduas, assignavit eam vivam.	41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
42 Notum autem factum est per universam Joppen : et crediderunt multi in Domino.	42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
43 Factum est autem ut dies multos moraretur in Joppe, apud Simonem quemdam coriarium.	43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
