                                                                                  Acts 9:32-43 Now as Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda. There he found a man named Aeneas, bedridden for eight years, who was paralyzed.    And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed.” And immediately he rose.   And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.  Now there was in Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which, translated, means Dorcas. She was full of good works and acts of charity.    In those days she became ill and died, and when they had washed her, they laid ...

                                                                                  Acts 9:26-31 And   when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join the disciples. And they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple.   But   Barnabas took him and   brought him to the apostles and declared to them   how on the road he had seen the Lord, who spoke to him, and   how at Damascus he had   preached boldly in the name of Jesus.   So he went   in and out among them at Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord.   And he spoke and disputed against   the Hellenists.   But   they were seeking to kill him.   And when   the brothers learned thi...

                                                                                       Acts 9:19-25 For some days he was with the disciples at Damascus.    And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “He is the Son of God.”    And all who heard him were amazed and said, “Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called upon this name? And has he not come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests?”    But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ.  When many days had passed, the Jews plotted to kill him, b...

                                                                                            Acts 9:10-19 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision,  “Ananias!”   “Yes, Lord,” he answered.    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.” “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people   in Jerusalem.     And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest...

                                                                                            Acts 9:1-9 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest   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.    As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.   He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”   “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. ...

                                                                                  Acts 8:26-40 Now   an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south   to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place.     And he rose and went. And there was an   Ethiopian, a   eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians,   who was in charge of all her treasure.   He had come to Jerusalem to worship   and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.   And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.”   So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you ar...
