Chap. XXII.
Being licensed by the Tribune to speake to the people, he shevveth them that he vvas
once as earnest on that side as they novv be: 6 and hovv strange and miraculous
his conversion vvas. 17 They heare him quietly, vntil he began to make mention
of a vision that sent him avvay from them to the Gentils. 22 Then they crie out
vpon him so, 23 that for their crying the Tribune commaundeth him to be scourged.
25 Which yet by his vvisedom he escapeth.
1 Men brethren and fathers, heare vvhat
account I doe render novv vnto
you.
2 (And vvhen they had heard
that he spake to them in the Hebrevv
tongue, they did the more keepe sil&ebar;ce.
3 And he saith,) note I am a man a Ievve,
borne at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought
vp in this citie, at the feete of Gamaliel
instructed according to the veritie of the lavv of the fathers,
-- --
an emulátour of the Lavv as also al you are this day:
4 vvho
note persecuted this vvay vnto death, binding & deliuering into
custodies men & vvom&ebar;,
5 as the high Priest doth giue me testimonie,
and al the auncients.
6 of vvhom note receiuing letters
also to the brethren, I vvent to Damascus, that I might
bring them thence bound to Hierusalem, to be punished.
7 And it came to passe as I vvas going, and dravving nigh to
Damascus at midday, sod&ebar;ly from heauen there shone round
about me much light:
8 and falling on the ground, I heard a
voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, vvhy persecutest thou me?
9 And I ansvvered, Vvho art thou Lord? And he said to me,
I am Iesvs of Nazareth, vvhom thou persecutest.
10 And
they that vvere vvith me, savv the light in deede, but the
voice they heard not of him that spake vvith me.
11 And I
said, Vvhat shal I doe Lord? And our Lord said to me, Arise
and goe to Damascus: and there it shal be told thee of al
things that thou must doe.
12 And vvhereas I did not see for
the brightnesse of that light, being led of my companions by
the hand, I came to Damascus.
13 And one Ananias, a man
according to the Lavv hauing testimonie of al the Ievves inhabitants,
14 comming to me, and standing by me, said to me,
Brother Saul, looke vp. And I the self same houre looked vp
on him.
15 But he said, The God of our fathers hath prëordained
thee, that thou shouldest knovv his vvil, and see the
Iust one, and heare a voice from his mouth:
16 because thou
shalt be his vvitnes to al men, of those things vvhich thou
hast seen and heard.
17 And novv vvhat tariest thou? Rise vp,
and be baptized, & note vvash avvay thy sinnes inuocating his
name.
18 And it befel me returning into Hierusalem, and
praying in the temple, that I vvas in a traunce,
19 and savv
him saying vnto me, Make hast, and depart quickely out of
Hierusalem: because they vvil not receiue thy testimonie of
me.
20 And I said, Lord, they knovv that I did cast into prison
and beate in euery synagogue them that beleeued in thee.
21 And vvhen the bloud of Steuen thy note vvitnes vvas shed,
note I stoode by and consented, and kept the garments of them
that killed him.
22 And he said to me, Goe, for into the Gentiles
a farre vvil I send thee.
23 And they heard him vntil this vvord, and they lifted vp
their voice, saying, Avvay vvith such an one from the earth:
for it is not meete he should liue.
24 And vvhen they cried
-- --
out, and threvv of their garments, and cast dust into the aire,
24 the Tribune commaunded him to be caried into the castel,
and to be beaten vvith vvhippes, and that he should be tormented:
to knovv for vvhat cause they did so crie at him.
25 And vvhen they had bound him very straight vvith th&obar;gs,
Paul saith to the Centurion standing by him: Is it lavvful for
you to vvhippe a man that is a Romane and vncondemned?
26 Vvhich the Centurion hearing, vvent to the Tribune, and
told him, saying, Vvhat vvilt thou doe? for this man is a citizen
of Rome.
27 And the Tribune comming, said to him,
Tel me, art thou a Romane? But he said, Yea.
28 And the Tribune
ansvvered, I obtained this citie vvith a great summe.
And Paul said, But I vvas also borne to it.
29 Immediatly therfore
they departed from him that vvere to torment him. The
Tribune also feared after he vnderstoode that he was a citiz&ebar;
of Rome, and because he had bound him.
30 But the next
day meaning to knovv more diligently for vvhat cause he
vvas accused of the Ievves, he loosed him, and commaunded
the note Priests to come together and al the Councel: & bringing
forth Paul, he set him among them.
