CKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 G435 Men, G80 brothers, G2532 and G3962 fathers, G191 hear G3450 my G627 defense G3568 which I make now G4314 unto G5209 you.

2 G1161 (And G191 when they heard G3754 that G4377 he spoke G1446 in the Hebrew G1258 tongue G846 to them, G3930 they were G3123 much G2271 quieter: G2532 and G5346 he said,)

3 G1473 I G1510 am G3303 truly G435 a man G2453 who is a Jew, G1080 born G1722 in G5019 Tarsus, G2791 a city in Cilicia, G1161 yet G397 brought up G1722 in G3778 this G4172 city G3844 at G4228 the feet G1059 of Gamaliel, G3811 and taught G2596 according to G195 the perfect manner G3551 of the law G3971 of the fathers, G5225 and was G2207 zealous G2316 toward God, G2531 as G5210 you G3956 all G2075 are G4594 this day.

4 G3739 And G1377 I persecuted G3778 this G3598 Way G891 unto G2288 the death, G1195 binding G2532 and G3860 delivering G1519 into G5438 prisons G5037 both G435 men G2532 and G1135 women.

5 G5613 As G2532 also G749 the high priest G3140 does bear G3427 me G3140 witness, G2532 and G3956 all G4244 the estate of the elders: G3844 from G3739 whom G2532 also G1209 I received G1992 letters G4314 unto G80 the brothers, G4198 and went G1519 to G1154 Damascus, G71 to bring G2532 G3588 them G5607 which were G1566 there G1210 bound G1519 unto G2419 Jerusalem, G2443 G5097 to be punished.

6 G1161 And G1096 it came to pass, that, G3427 as I G4198 made my journey, G2532 and G1448 had come near G1154 to Damascus G4012 about G3314 noon, G1810 suddenly G4015 there shone G1537 from G3772 heaven G2425 a great G5457 light G4012 round about G1691 me.

7 G5037 And G4098 I fell G1519 to G1475 the ground, G2532 and G191 heard G5456 a voice G3004 saying G3427 to me, G4549 Saul, G4549 Saul, G5101 why G1377 persecute G3165 me?

8 G1161 And G1473 I G611 answered, G5101 Who G1488 are you, G2962 Lord? G5037 And G2036 he said G4314 to G3165 me, G1473 I G1510 am G2424 Jesus G3480 of Nazareth, G3739 whom G4771 you G1377 persecute.

9 G1161 And G3588 they G5607 that were G4862 with G1698 me G2300 saw G3303 indeed G5457 the light, G2532 and G1096 were G1719 afraid; G1161 but G191 they heard G3756 not G5456 the voice G3588 of him G2980 that spoke G3427 to me.

10 G1161 And G2036 I said, G5101 What G4160 shall I do, G2962 Lord? G1161 And G2962 the Lord G2036 said G4314 unto G3165 me, G450 Arise, G4198 and go G1519 into G1154 Damascus; G2546 and there G2980 it shall be told G4671 you G4012 of G3956 all things G3739 which G5021 are appointed G4671 for you G4160 to do.

11 G1161 And G5613 then G1689 I could G3756 not G1689 see G575 for G1391 the glory G1565 of that G5457 light, G5496 being led by the hand G5259 by G3588 them G4895 that were with G3427 me, G2064 I came G1519 into G1154 Damascus.

12 G1161 And G5100 one G367 Ananias, G2152 a devout G435 man G2596 according to G3551 the law, G3140 having a good report G5259 of G3956 all G2453 the Jews G2730 which lived there,

13 G2064 Came G4314 to G3165 me, G2532 and G2186 stood, G2036 and said G3427 to me, G80 Brother G4549 Saul, G308 receive your sight. G2504 And G846 the same G5610 hour G2504 I G308 looked up G1519 at G846 him.

14 G1161 And G2036 he said, G2316 The God G2257 of our G3962 fathers G4400 has chosen G4571 you, G1097 that you should know G846 his G2307 will, G2532 and G1492 see G3588 that G1342 Just One, G2532 and G191 should hear G5456 the voice G1537 of G846 his G4750 mouth.

15 G3754 For G2071 you shall be G846 his G3144 witness G4314 to G3956 all G444 men G3739 of what G3708 you have seen G2532 and G191 heard.

16 G2532 And G3568 now G5101 why G3195 wait? G450 Arise, G907 and be baptized, G2532 and G628 wash away G4675 your G266 sins, G1941 calling on G3686 the name G2962 of the Lord.

17 G1161 And G1096 it came to pass, that, G3427 when I G5290 had come again G1519 to G2419 Jerusalem, G2532 even G3450 while I G4336 prayed G1722 in G2411 the temple, G3165 I G1096 was G1722 in G1611 a trance;

18 G2532 And G1492 saw G846 him G3004 saying G3427 to me, G4692 Make haste, G2532 and G1831 get G1722 G5034 quickly G1537 out of G2419 Jerusalem: G1360 for G3858 they will G3756 not G3858 receive G4675 your G3141 testimony G4012 concerning G1700 me.

19 G2504 And I G2036 said, G2962 Lord, G846 they G1987 know G3754 that G1473 I G2252 G5439 imprisoned G2532 and G1194 beat G2596 in every G4864 synagogue G3588 them that G4100 believed G1909 on G4571 you:

20 G2532 And G3753 when G129 the blood G4675 of your G3144 martyr G4736 Stephen G1632 was shed, G846 I G2532 also G2252 was G2186 standing by, G2532 and G4909 consenting unto G846 his G336 death, G2532 and G5442 kept G2440 the clothes G3588 of them G337 that killed G846 him.

21 G2532 And G2036 he said G4314 unto G3165 me, G4198 Depart: G3754 for G1473 I G1821 will send G4571 you G3112 far from here G1519 unto G1484 the Nations.

22 G1161 And G191 they G846 G191 listened G891 until G5127 this G3056 word, G2532 and G1869 then lifted up G846 their G5456 voices, G3004 and said, G142 Away with G5108 such a G575 fellow from G1093 the earth: G1063 for G2520 it is G3756 not G2520 fit G846 that he G2198 should live.

23 G1161 And G846 as they G2905 cried out, G2532 and G4495 cast off G2440 their clothes, G2532 and G906 threw G2868 dust G1519 into G109 the air,
