n him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who was seen by thee in
the way that thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest recover thy
sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. (18)And directly there fell
from his eyes as it were scales: and he recovered sight instantly, and
arose, and was baptised. (19)And when he had taken nourishment, he
regained his strength. And Saul continued with the disciples who were
at Damascus several days. (20)And immediately he preached Christ in the
synagogues, that he is the Son of God. (21)And all who heard him were
amazed, and said, Is not this the man who made havoc at Jerusalem,
among those who called on this name? and hither he came for this
purpose, that he might carry them in chains unto the chief priests?
(22)But Saul was endued with still greater power, and confounded the
Jews who dwelt at Damascus, conclusively evincing that this person is
the Messiah.
(23)But when many days were fulfilled, the Jews consulted together how
to kill him: (24)but their design was discovered to Saul. And they kept
guard at the gates of the city day and night, that they might kill him.
(25)But the disciples taking him by night, got him off through the
wall, letting him down in a basket.
(26)But when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join the
disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not crediting that he was a
disciple. (27)Then Barnabas taking him by the hand, brought him to the
apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and
that he had spoken to him, and how boldly he had preached at Damascus
in the name of Jesus. (28)And he was with them coming in, and going out
at Jerusalem: (29)and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus.
And he talked and disputed with the Grecian proselytes: but they made
an attempt to murder him. (30)Then the brethren, when they knew it
brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off to Tarsus.
(31)Then had the churches peace through all Judea and Galilee and
Samaria, being edified; and walking in the fear of God, and in the
consolation of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
(32)Now it came to pass, as Peter was passing through all parts, that
he went down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. (33)And found
there a certain man named AEneas, during six years stretched on a bed,
who was paralytic. (34)And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Messiah
maketh thee whole: arise, and make thine own bed. And he arose
immediately. (35
