Acts 22:2 (KJV) King James Version

1 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.
2 And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)
3 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
4 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
5 As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
9 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
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.
11 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,
13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
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;
18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
19 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
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.
21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
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.
23 And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,
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.
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?
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.
27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
28 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
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.
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.
1 Men G435 , brethren, G80 and G2532 fathers, G3962 hear G191 ye my G3450 defense G627 which I make now G3568 unto G4314 you. G5209
2 ( And G1161 when they heard G191 that G3754 he spake G4377 in the G3588 Hebrew G1446 tongue G1258 to them, G846 they kept G3930 the more G3123 silence: G2271 and G2532 he saith, G5346 )
3 I G1473 am G1510 verily G3303 a man G435 which am a Jew, G2453 born G1080 in G1722 Tarsus, G5019 a city in Cilicia, G2791 yet G1161 brought up G397 in G1722 this G5026 city G4172 at G3844 the G3588 feet G4228 of Gamaliel, G1059 and taught G3811 according G2596 to the perfect manner G195 of the law G3551 of the G3588 fathers, G3971 and was G5225 zealous G2207 toward God, G2316 as G2531 ye G5210 all G3956 are G2075 this day. G4594
4 And I G3739 persecuted G1377 this G5026 way G3598 unto G891 the death, G2288 binding G1195 and G2532 delivering G3860 into G1519 prisons G5438 both G5037 men G435 and G2532 women. G1135
5 As G5613 also G2532 the G3588 high priest G749 doth bear me witness G3140 G3427 , and G2532 all G3956 the G3588 estate of the elders: G4244 from G3844 whom G3739 also G2532 I received G1209 letters G1992 unto G4314 the G3588 brethren, G80 and went G4198 to G1519 Damascus, G1154 to bring G71 G2532 them which were G5607 there G1566 bound G1210 unto G1519 Jerusalem, G2419 for to G2443 be punished. G5097
6 And G1161 it came to pass, G1096 that , as I G3427 made my journey, G4198 and G2532 was come nigh G1448 unto Damascus G1154 about G4012 noon, G3314 suddenly G1810 there shone G4015 from G1537 heaven G3772 a great G2425 light G5457 round about G4012 me. G1691
7 And G5037 I fell G4098 unto G1519 the G3588 ground, G1475 and G2532 heard G191 a voice G5456 saying G3004 unto me, G3427 Saul, G4549 Saul, G4549 why G5101 persecutest G1377 thou me G3165 ?
8 And G1161 I G1473 answered, G611 Who G5101 art G1488 thou, Lord G2962 ? And G5037 he said G2036 unto G4314 me, G3165 I G1473 am G1510 Jesus G2424 of Nazareth, G3480 whom G3739 thou G4771 persecutest. G1377
9 And G1161 they that were G5607 with G4862 me G1698 saw G2300 indeed G3303 the G3588 light, G5457 and G2532 were G1096 afraid; G1719 but G1161 they heard G191 not G3756 the G3588 voice G5456 of him that spake G2980 to me. G3427
10 And G1161 I said, G2036 What G5101 shall I do, G4160 Lord G2962 ? And G1161 the G3588 Lord G2962 said G2036 unto G4314 me, G3165 Arise, G450 and go G4198 into G1519 Damascus; G1154 and there G2546 it shall be told G2980 thee G4671 of G4012 all things G3956 which G3739 are appointed G5021 for thee G4671 to do. G4160
11 And G1161 when G5613 I could not G3756 see G1689 for G575 the G3588 glory G1391 of that G1565 light, G5457 being led by the hand G5496 of G5259 them that were with G4895 me, G3427 I came G2064 into G1519 Damascus. G1154
12 And G1161 one G5100 Ananias, G367 a devout G2152 man G435 according G2596 to the G3588 law, G3551 having a good report G3140 of G5259 all G3956 the G3588 Jews G2453 which dwelt G2730 there,
13 Came G2064 unto G4314 me, G3165 and G2532 stood, G2186 and said G2036 unto me, G3427 Brother G80 Saul, G4549 receive thy sight. G308 And the G3588 same G846 hour G5610 I G2504 looked up G308 upon G1519 him. G846
14 And G1161 he G3588 said, G2036 The G3588 God G2316 of our G2257 fathers G3962 hath chosen G4400 thee, G4571 that thou shouldest know G1097 his G848 will, G2307 and G2532 see G1492 that Just One, G1342 and G2532 shouldest hear G191 the voice G5456 of G1537 his G848 mouth. G4750
15 For G3754 thou shalt be G2071 his G846 witness G3144 unto G4314 all G3956 men G444 of what G3739 thou hast seen G3708 and G2532 heard. G191
16 And G2532 now G3568 why G5101 tarriest G3195 thou? arise, G450 and be baptized, G907 and G2532 wash away G628 thy G4675 sins, G266 calling on G1941 the G3588 name G3686 of the G3588 Lord. G2962
17 And G1161 it came to pass, G1096 that , when I G3427 was come again G5290 to G1519 Jerusalem, G2419 even G2532 while I G3450 prayed G4336 in G1722 the G3588 temple, G2411 I G3165 was G1096 in G1722 a trance; G1611
18 And G2532 saw G1492 him G846 saying G3004 unto me, G3427 Make haste, G4692 and G2532 get G1831 thee quickly G1722 G5034 out of G1537 Jerusalem: G2419 for G1360 they will not G3756 receive G3858 thy G4675 testimony G3141 concerning G4012 me. G1700
19 And I G2504 said, G2036 Lord, G2962 they G846 know G1987 that G3754 I G1473 imprisoned G2252 G5439 and G2532 beat G1194 in every synagogue G2596 G4864 them that believed G4100 on G1909 thee: G4571
20 And G2532 when G3753 the G3588 blood G129 of thy G4675 martyr G3144 Stephen G4736 was shed, G1632 I G848 also G2532 was G2252 standing by, G2186 and G2532 consenting G4909 unto his G848 death, G336 and G2532 kept G5442 the G3588 raiment G2440 of them that slew G337 him. G846
21 And G2532 he said G2036 unto G4314 me, G3165 Depart: G4198 for G3754 I G1473 will send G1821 thee G4571 far hence G3112 unto G1519 the Gentiles. G1484
22 And G1161 they gave him audience G191 G846 unto G891 this G5127 word, G3056 and G2532 then lifted up G1869 their G848 voices, G5456 and said, G3004 Away G142 with such G5108 a fellow from G575 the G3588 earth: G1093 for G1063 it is not fit G2520 G3756 that he G846 should live. G2198
23 And G1161 as they G846 cried out, G2905 and G2532 cast off G4495 their clothes, G2440 and G2532 threw G906 dust G2868 into G1519 the G3588 air, G109
24 The G3588 chief captain G5506 commanded G2753 him G846 to be brought G71 into G1519 the G3588 castle, G3925 and bade G2036 that he G846 should be examined G426 by scourging; G3148 that G2443 he might know G1921 wherefore G1223 G3739 G156 they cried so against G2019 G3779 him. G846
25 And G1161 as G5613 they bound G4385 him G846 with thongs, G2438 Paul G3972 said G2036 unto G4314 the centurion G1543 that stood by G2476 G1487 , Is it lawful G1832 for you G5213 to scourge G3147 a man G444 that is a Roman, G4514 and G2532 uncondemned G178 ?
26 When G1161 the G3588 centurion G1543 heard G191 that, he went G4334 and told G518 the G3588 chief captain, G5506 saying, G3004 Take heed G3708 what G5101 thou G3195 doest: G4160 for G1063 this G3778 man G444 is G2076 a Roman. G4514
27 Then G1161 the G3588 chief captain G5506 came, G4334 and said G2036 unto him, G846 Tell G3004 me G3427 G1487 , art G1488 thou G4771 a Roman G4514 G1161 ? He G3588 said, G5346 Yea. G3483
28 And G5037 the G3588 chief captain G5506 answered, G611 With a great G4183 sum G2774 obtained G2932 I G1473 this G5026 freedom. G4174 And G1161 Paul G3972 said, G5346 But G1161 I G1473 was G2532 free born. G1080
29 Then G3767 straightway G2112 they departed G868 from G575 him G846 which should G3195 have examined G426 him: G846 and G2532 the G3588 chief captain G5506 also G1161 was afraid, G5399 after he knew G1921 that G3754 he was G2076 a Roman, G4514 and G2532 because G3754 he had G2258 bound G1210 him. G846
30 On G1161 the G3588 morrow, G1887 because he would G1014 have known G1097 the G3588 certainty G804 wherefore G5101 he was accused G2723 of G3844 the G3588 Jews, G2453 he loosed G3089 him G846 from G575 his bands, G1199 and G2532 commanded G2753 the G3588 chief priests G749 and G2532 all G3650 their G848 council G4892 to appear, G2064 and G2532 brought Paul down G2609 G3972 , and set G2476 him before G1519 them.
