|
22:6
And°
it came to pass,°°
that, as I°
made°°
my°
journey,°°
and°
was come nigh°°
unto Damascus°
about°
noon,°
suddenly°
there shone°°
from°

unto°
the°
ground,°

And they that were with me beheld indeed the light, but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me. |
|
22:9
And°
they that were°°
with°
me°
saw°°
indeed°
the°
light,°
and°
were°°
afraid;°
but°
they heard°°
not°
the°
voice°

to me.° |
|
22:10
And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do. |
|
22:10
And°
I said,°°
What°
shall I do,°°

And he said, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth. |
|
22:14
And°
he°
said,°°
The°
God°
of our°
fathers°
hath chosen°°
thee,°
that thou shouldest know°°
his°°
will,°

his°
witness°
unto°
all°
men°

And it came to pass, that, when I had returned to Jerusalem, and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance, |
|
22:17
And°
it came to pass,°°
that, when I°
was come again°°
to°
Jerusalem,°
even°
while I°
prayed°°
in°
the°
temple,°
I°
was°°
in°
a trance;° |
|
22:18
and saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem; because they will not receive of thee testimony concerning me. |
|
22:18
And°
saw°°
him°
saying°°
unto me,°
Make haste,°°
and°
get°

quickly°°
out of°
Jerusalem:°
for°
they will°°
not°
receive°°
thy°
testimony°
concerning°
me.° |
|

And I said, Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee: |
|
22:19
And I°
said,°°
Lord,°
they°
know°°
that°
I°
imprisoned°°°°
and°
beat°°
in every°
synagogue°°
them that believed°°
on°
thee:° |
|
22:20
and when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting, and keeping the garments of them that slew him. |
|
22:20
And°
when°
the°
blood°
of thy°
martyr°
Stephen°
was shed,°°
I°°
also°
was°°
standing by,°°
and°
consenting°°
unto his°°
death,°
and°
kept°°
the°
raiment°
of them that slew°°
him.° |
|

|
22:21
And°
he said°°
unto°
me,°
Depart:°°
for°
I°
will send°°
thee°
far hence°
unto°
the Gentiles.° |

22:22
And they gave him audience unto this word; and they lifted up their voice, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live. |
|
22:22
And°
they gave°°
him°
audience°°°
unto°
this°
word,°
and°
[then] lifted up°°
their°°
voices,°
and said,°°
Away°
with°°
such°
a [fellow] from°
the°
earth:°
for°
it is°°
not°
fit°°°
that he°
should live.°° |
|
22:23
And as they cried out, and threw off their garments, and cast dust into the air, |
|
22:23
And°
as they°
cried out,°°
and°
cast off°°
[their] clothes,°
and°

22:24
the chief captain commanded him be brought into the castle, bidding that he should be examined by scourging, that he might know for what cause they so shouted against him. |
|
22:24
The°
chief captain°
commanded°°
him°
to be brought°°
into°
the°
castle,°
and bade°°
that he°
should be examined°°
by scourging;°
that°
he might know°°
wherefore°°°
they cried°°
so°
against°°°
him.° |
|
22:25
And when they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? |
|
22:25
And°
as°
they bound°°°
him°
with thongs,°
Paul°
said°°
unto°
the centurion°
that stood by,°°°
Is it lawful°°°
for you°
to scourge°°
a man°
that is a Roman,°
and°
uncondemned?° |
|
22:26
And when the centurion heard it, he went to the chief captain and told him, saying, What art thou about to do? for this man is a Roman. |
|
22:26
When°
the°
centurion°
heard°°
[that], he went°°
and told°°
the°
chief captain,°
saying,°°
Take heed°°
what°
thou°
doest:°°°°
for°
this°
man°
is°°
a Roman.° |
|
22:27
And the chief captain came and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? And he said, Yea. |
|
22:27
Then°
the°
chief captain°
came,°°
and said°°
unto him,°
Tell°°
me,°°
art°°
thou°
a Roman?°°
He°
said,°°
Yea.° |
|
22:28
And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this citizenship. And Paul said, But I am [a Roman] born. |
|
22:28
And°
the°
chief captain°
answered,°°
With a great°
sum°
obtained°°
I°
this°
freedom.°
And°
Paul°
said,°°
But°
I°°
was°
[free] born.°° |
|
22:29
They then that were about to examine him straightway departed from him: and the chief captain also was afraid when he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. |
|
22:29
Then°
straightway°
they departed°°
from°
him°
which°
should°°
have examined°°
him:°
and°°
the°
chief captain°
also°°
was afraid,°°
after he knew°°
that°
he was°°
a Roman,°
and°
because°
he had°°
bound°°
him.° |
|
22:30
But on the morrow, desiring to know the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them. |
|
22:30
°
On°
the°
morrow,°
because he would°°
have known°°
the°
certainty°
wherefore°
he was accused°°
of°
the°
Jews,°
he loosed°°
him°
from°
[his] bands,°
and°
commanded°°
the°
chief priests°
and°
all°
their°°
council°
to appear,°°
and°
brought°°
Paul°
down,°°°
and set°
him°°
before°
them.° |
