    at Damascus, named Ananias and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. 11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the housoof Judas for one call- ed Saul, of Tarsus : for, behold, he prayeth, 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 Then Ananias answered. Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: 14 And here he/ hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call* on thy name. 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 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake. 17 And Ananias went his way, and en- tered 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 earnest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and* be filled with the Holy Ghost. 18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales ; and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. 19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul cer- tain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.4 20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. 21 But all that heard himv 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 But Saul increased the more in strength/ and confounded the2 Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. 23 And after that many days were ful- filled, the Jews took counsel® to kill him. 24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched*? the gates day and night, to kill him. 25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let* him down by the wall, in a basket. 26 And when Saul was come* to Jeru- salem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples : but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. 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 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem. 29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Gre- cians : but® they went about to slay him. 30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cresarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. 31 Then® had the churches rest* through- out all Judsea 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.” A.

And he arose immediately. 35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and1.1 Saron saw him, and turnedJ to the Lord. 36 Now there was at Joppa a certair disciple named Tabitha, which by inter- pretation is called 0 Dorcas: this womarn was full*? of good works and almsdeedt - which she did. 37 And it came to pass in those days that she was sick, and died: whom, whet: they had washed, they laid her in ar upper chamber. 38 And forasmuch as Lydda w’as nigl to Joppa, and the disciples had heared that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would nof Y delay to come to them. 39 Then Peter arose, and went with If them. When he was come, they brought? him into the upper chamber: and all the.d widows stood by him weeping, and shew*- ing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while'* she was with them. 40 But Peter put” them all forth, and! kneeled down, and prayed; and tumingj him to the body, said, Tabitha.* arise.. And she opened her eyes: and when shea saw Peter, she sat up. 41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted! her up, and when he had called the saints- and widows, presented her alive. 42 And it was known throughout alii Joppa ; and1 many believed in the Lord._ 43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa, with one Simon t: tanner. rp CHAPTER X. I HERE was a certain man in Cfesareas called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian hand, 2 A devout man? and one that feared6 Goc* with alld his house, which gave much almi.: to* the people, and prayed/ to God alway. 3 He saw in a vision evidently, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel* o( God coming in to him, and saying untc him, Cornelius. 4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said. What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and tliina alms are come up for a memorial' be-, fore God. 5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: 6 He lodgeth with one Simpn a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee® what thou oughtest to do. 7 And when the angel which spake* unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually: 8 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa. 9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went' up upon the housetop to pray, about tho sixth hour: , 10 And he became very hungry, ana would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
