扫罗的悔改
扫罗不断用威吓凶悍的口气向主的门徒说话。他去见大祭司，
And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2要求发信给大马士革的各会堂，若是找着信奉这道的人，无论男女，都准他捆绑带到耶路撒冷。And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3扫罗在途中，将到大马士革的时候，忽然有一道光从天上下来，四面照射着他，And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4他就仆倒在地，听见有声音对他说：“扫罗！扫罗！你为什么迫害我？”And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5他说：“主啊！你是谁？”主说：“我就是你所迫害的耶稣。And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6起来！进城去，你应该做的事，必有人告诉你。”And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7同行的人站在那里，说不出话来，因为他们听见声音，却看不见人。And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
8扫罗从地上起来，睁开眼睛，竟不能看见什么。有人拉他的手，领他进了大马士革。And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9他三天什么都看不见，也不吃也不喝。And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
10那时，在大马士革有一个门徒，名叫亚拿尼亚。主在异象中对他说：“亚拿尼亚！”他说：“主啊，我在这里。”And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
11主对他说：“起来！往那叫直街的路去，在犹大的家里，去找一个大数人，名叫扫罗；他正在祷告，And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
12在异象中☛有古卷没有“在异象中”。看见了一个人，名叫亚拿尼亚，进来为他按手，让他能再看得见。”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亚拿尼亚回答：“主啊，我听见许多人讲到这个人，说他怎样在耶路撒冷多多苦待你的圣徒，Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14并且他在这里有从祭司长得来的权柄，要捆绑一切求告你名的人。”And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
15主对他说：“你只管去。他是我所拣选的器皿，要在外邦人、君王和以色列人面前宣扬我的名。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我也要指示他，为我的名必须受许多的苦难。”For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
17亚拿尼亚就去了，进入那家，把手按在扫罗身上，说：“扫罗弟兄，在你来的路上向你显现的主，就是耶稣，打发我来，叫你能再看得见，又被圣灵充满。”And Ananias went his way, and entered 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 camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18扫罗的眼睛上立刻好像有鳞一般的东西掉下来，他就能再看得见，于是他起来，受了洗，And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
19吃过饭体力就恢复了。扫罗在大马士革传道
扫罗和大马士革的门徒一起住了些日子，
And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
20立刻在各会堂里传扬耶稣，说他是神的儿子。And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
21凡听见的人都很惊奇，说：“在耶路撒冷残害求告这名的不就是这个人吗？他不是到这里来要捆绑他们，带到祭司长那里去吗？”But all that heard him 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但扫罗越发有能力，驳倒住在大马士革的犹太人，证明耶稣是基督。But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
逃脱犹太人的谋害
23过了好些日子，犹太人商议要杀扫罗，And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
24但他们的计谋被扫罗知道了。他们昼夜在城门守候着要杀他。But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
25他的门徒就在夜间用筐子把他从城墙上缒了下去。Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
扫罗在耶路撒冷
26扫罗到了耶路撒冷，想与门徒结交，大家却都怕他，不信他是门徒。And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
27只有巴拿巴接待他，领他去见使徒，把他在路上怎么看见主，主怎么向他说话，他在大马士革怎么奉耶稣的名放胆传道，都述说出来。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于是扫罗在耶路撒冷同门徒出入来往，奉主的名放胆传道，And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
29并和说希腊话的犹太人讲论辩驳，他们却想法子要杀他。And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
30弟兄们知道了，就带他下凯撒利亚，送他往大数去。Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
31那时，犹太、加利利、撒玛利亚各处的教会都得平安，建立起来，凡事敬畏主，蒙圣灵的安慰，人数逐渐增多。Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea 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.
以尼雅得医治
32彼得在众信徒中到处奔波的时候，也到了住在吕大的圣徒那里。And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
33他在那里遇见一个人，名叫以尼雅，得了瘫痪，在褥子上躺了八年。And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
34彼得对他说：“以尼雅，耶稣基督医好你了，起来！整理你的褥子吧。”他立刻就起来了。And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
35凡住吕大和沙仑的人都看见了他，就归向主。And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
多加复活
36在约帕有一个女门徒，名叫大比大，翻出来的意思是多加☛“多加”意思是“羚羊”。；她广行善事，多施周济。Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
37当时，她患病死了，有人把她清洗后，停在楼上。And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
38吕大原与约帕相近；门徒听见彼得在那里，就派两个人去见他，央求他说：“请快到我们那里去，不要耽延。”And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
39彼得就起身和他们同去。他到了，就有人领他上楼。众寡妇都站在彼得旁边哭，拿多加与她们同在时所做的内衣外衣给他看。Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
40彼得叫她们都出去，然后跪下祷告，转身对着尸体说：“大比大，起来！”她就睁开眼睛，看见彼得，就坐了起来。But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41彼得伸手扶她起来，叫那些圣徒和寡妇都进来，把多加活活地交给他们。And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
42这事传遍了约帕，就有许多人信了主。And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
43此后，彼得在约帕一个皮革匠西门的家里住了好些日子。And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
