00:00.000 --> 00:06.620
Chapter 9 And Saul, yet breathing out
threatenings and slaughter against the

00:06.620 --> 00:10.880
disciples of the Lord, went unto the high
priest, and desired of him letters to

00:10.880 --> 00:15.780
Damascus, to the synagogues, that if he
found any of this way, whether they were

00:15.780 --> 00:19.200
men or women, he might bring them bound
unto Jerusalem.

00:20.180 --> 00:22.860
And as he journeyed, he came near
Damascus.

00:23.260 --> 00:27.240
And suddenly there shined round about him
a light from heaven.

00:27.240 --> 00:33.420
And he fell to the earth, and heard a
voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul,

00:33.580 --> 00:34.980
why persecutest thou me?

00:35.360 --> 00:37.400
And he said, Who art thou, Lord?

00:37.580 --> 00:40.940
And the Lord said, I am Jesus,
whom thou persecutest.

00:41.760 --> 00:44.160
It is hard for thee to kick against the
pricks.

00:44.500 --> 00:48.520
And he, trembling and astonished,
said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?

00:48.760 --> 00:53.600
And the Lord said unto him, Arise,
and go into the city, and it shall be told

00:53.600 --> 00:54.740
thee what thou must do.

00:54.740 --> 00:59.820
And the men which journeyed with him stood
speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no

00:59.820 --> 01:00.280
man.

01:01.000 --> 01:04.620
And Saul arose from the earth,
and when his eyes were opened,

01:05.220 --> 01:06.380
he saw no man.

01:06.920 --> 01:10.160
But they led him by the hand, and brought
him into Damascus.

01:10.740 --> 01:15.460
And he was three days without sight,
and neither did eat nor drink.

01:16.460 --> 01:20.020
And there was a certain disciple at
Damascus, named Ananias.

01:20.480 --> 01:23.780
And to him said the Lord in a vision,
Ananias.

01:24.040 --> 01:26.900
And he said, Behold, I am here,
Lord.

01:27.080 --> 01:31.760
And the Lord said unto him, Arise,
and go into the street which is called

01:31.760 --> 01:37.020
Straight, and inquire in the house of
Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus.

01:37.780 --> 01:42.720
For behold, he prayeth, and hath seen in a
vision a man named Ananias coming in,

01:43.220 --> 01:46.200
and putting his hand on him, that he might
receive his sight.

01:46.580 --> 01:52.460
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard
by many of this man how much evil he hath

01:52.460 --> 01:54.240
done to thy saints at Jerusalem.

01:55.400 --> 02:00.140
And here he hath authority from the chief
priests to bind all that call on thy name.

02:00.600 --> 02:05.820
But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way,
for he is a chosen vessel unto me,

02:06.300 --> 02:10.840
to bear my name before the Gentiles,
and kings, and the children of Israel.

02:11.640 --> 02:15.720
For I will show him how great things he
must suffer for my name's sake.

02:15.720 --> 02:21.220
And Ananias went his way, and entered into
the house, and putting his hands on him,

02:21.300 --> 02:27.000
said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus,
that appeared unto thee in the way as thou

02:27.000 --> 02:32.980
camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest
receive thy sight, and be filled with the

02:32.980 --> 02:33.760
Holy Ghost.

02:34.080 --> 02:39.220
And immediately there fell from his eyes
as it had been scales, and he received

02:39.220 --> 02:41.940
sight forthwith, and arose, and was
baptized.

02:42.520 --> 02:45.140
And when he had received meat,
he was strengthened.

02:46.200 --> 02:49.280
Then was Saul certain days with the
disciples which were at Damascus,

02:49.760 --> 02:54.740
and straightway he preached Christ in the
synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

02:55.320 --> 02:59.500
But all that heard him were amazed,
and said, Is not this he that destroyed

02:59.500 --> 03:03.200
them which called on this name in
Jerusalem, and came hither for that

03:03.200 --> 03:06.520
intent, that he might bring them bound
unto the chief priests?

03:06.520 --> 03:11.620
But Saul increased the more in strength,
and confounded the Jews which dwelt at

03:11.620 --> 03:15.060
Damascus, proving that this is very
Christ.

03:16.260 --> 03:20.480
And after that many days were fulfilled,
the Jews took counsel to kill him.

03:21.380 --> 03:26.240
But their laying await was known of Saul,
and they watched the gates day and night

03:26.240 --> 03:26.820
to kill him.

03:27.600 --> 03:31.700
Then the disciples took him by night,
and let him down by the wall in a basket.

03:32.320 --> 03:36.540
And when Saul was come to Jerusalem,
he assayed to join himself to the

03:36.540 --> 03:36.920
disciples.

03:37.700 --> 03:41.340
But they were all afraid of him,
and believed not that he was a disciple.

03:42.260 --> 03:46.920
But Barnabas took him, and brought him to
the apostles, and declared unto them how

03:46.920 --> 03:50.140
he had seen the Lord in the way,
and that he had spoken to him,

03:50.460 --> 03:54.060
and how he had preached boldly at Damascus
in the name of Jesus.

03:54.780 --> 03:57.540
And he was with them coming in and going
out at Jerusalem.

03:58.060 --> 04:02.200
And he spake boldly in the name of the
Lord Jesus, and disputed against the

04:02.200 --> 04:02.680
Grecians.

04:03.180 --> 04:04.780
But they went about to slay him.

04:05.480 --> 04:09.860
Which when the brethren knew, they brought
him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth

04:09.860 --> 04:10.540
to Tarsus.

04:11.300 --> 04:15.340
Then had the churches rest throughout all
Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria,

04:15.720 --> 04:19.860
and were edified, and walking in the fear
of the Lord, and in the comfort of the

04:19.860 --> 04:21.280
Holy Ghost, were multiplied.

04:22.380 --> 04:27.460
And it came to pass, as Peter passed
throughout all quarters, he came down also

04:27.460 --> 04:29.060
to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.

04:29.600 --> 04:34.340
And there he found a certain man named
Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight

04:34.340 --> 04:36.260
years, and was sick of the palsy.

04:36.860 --> 04:42.060
And Peter said unto him, Aeneas,
Jesus Christ maketh thee whole.

04:43.140 --> 04:45.480
Arise, and make thy bed.

04:45.940 --> 04:47.620
And he arose immediately.

04:48.420 --> 04:52.460
And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw
him, and turned to the Lord.

04:52.460 --> 04:57.840
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple
named Tabitha, which by interpretation is

04:57.840 --> 04:58.700
called Dorcas.

04:59.500 --> 05:03.020
This woman was full of good works and
almsdeeds which she did.

05:03.840 --> 05:08.900
And it came to pass in those days,
that she was sick and died, whom when they

05:08.900 --> 05:10.980
had washed, they laid her in an upper
chamber.

05:11.920 --> 05:16.060
And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa,
and the disciples had heard that Peter was

05:16.060 --> 05:20.720
there, they sent unto him two men,
desiring him that he would not delay to

05:20.720 --> 05:21.200
come to them.

05:21.200 --> 05:24.160
Then Peter arose, and went with them.

05:25.060 --> 05:27.620
When he was come, they brought him into
the upper chamber.

05:28.280 --> 05:31.920
And all the widows stood by him,
weeping, and showing the coats and

05:31.920 --> 05:34.180
garments which Dorcas made while she was
with them.

05:35.000 --> 05:38.900
But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled
down, and prayed.

05:39.700 --> 05:43.520
And turning him to the body, said,
Tabitha, arise.

05:43.740 --> 05:45.700
And she opened her eyes.

05:46.520 --> 05:48.860
And when she saw Peter, she sat up.

05:49.180 --> 05:51.500
And he gave her his hand, and lifted her
up.

05:51.860 --> 05:55.340
And when he had called the saints and
widows, presented her alive.

05:55.860 --> 05:59.880
And it was known throughout all Joppa,
and many believed in the Lord.

06:00.460 --> 06:04.920
And it came to pass, that he tarried many
days in Joppa, with one Simon,

06:05.260 --> 06:05.660
a tanner.
