22:1 Men,
brethren,
and
fathers,
heare
ye
my
defence
which
I
make
now
vnto
you.
22:2 (And
when
they
heard
that
hee
spake
in
the
Hebrew
tongue
to
them,
they
kept
the
more
silence:
and
he
saith,)
22:3 I
am
verely
a
man
which
am
a
Iew,
borne
in
Tarsus
a
citie
in
Cilicia,
yet
brought
vp
in
this
citie
at
the
feete
of
Gamaliel,
and
taught
according
to
the
perfect
maner
of
the
law
of
the
fathers,
and
was
zealous
towards
God,
as
ye
all
are
this
day.
22:4 And
I
persecuted
this
way
vnto
the
death,
binding
and
deliuering
into
prisons
both
men
and
women,
22:5 As
also
the
high
Priest
doth
beare
me
witnesse,
and
all
the
estate
of
the
elders:
from
whom
also
I
receiued
letters
vnto
the
brethren,
and
went
to
Damascus,
to
bring
them
which
were
there,
bound
vnto
Hierusalem,
for
to
be
punished.
22:6 And
it
came
to
passe,
that
as
I
made
my
iourney,
&
was
come
nigh
vnto
Damascus
about
noone,
suddenly
there
shone
from
heauen
a
great
light
round
about
me.
22:7 And
I
fell
vnto
the
ground,
and
heard
a
voice
saying
vnto
mee,
Saul,
Saul,
why
persecutest
thou
me
22:8 And
I
answered,
Who
art
thou,
Lord
And
he
said
vnto
me,
I
am
Iesus
of
Nazareth
who
thou
persecutest.
22:9 And
they
that
were
with
me
saw
indeede
the
light,
and
were
afraid;
but
they
heard
not
the
voice
of
him
that
spake
to
me.
22:10 And
I
saide,
What
shall
I
doe,
Lord
And
the
Lord
said
vnto
me,
Arise,
and
goe
into
Damascus,
and
there
it
shall
be
told
thee
of
all
things
which
are
appointed
for
thee
to
doe.
22:11 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.
22:12 And
one
Ananias,
a
deuout
man
according
to
the
law,
hauing
a
good
report
of
al
the
Iewes
which
dwelt
there,
22:13 Came
vnto
me,
and
stood,
&
said
vnto
me,
Brother
Saul,
receiue
thy
sight.
And
the
same
houre
I
looked
vp
vpon
him.
22:14 And
he
said,
The
God
of
our
fathers
hath
chosen
thee,
that
thou
shouldest
know
his
will,
&
see
that
Iust
one,
and
shouldest
heare
the
voice
of
his
mouth.
22:15 For
thou
shalt
be
his
witnes
vnto
al
men,
of
what
thou
hast
seene
&
heard.
22:16 And
now,
why
tariest
thou
Arise,
and
be
baptized,
and
wash
away
thy
sinnes,
calling
on
the
name
of
the
Lord.
22:17 And
it
came
to
passe,
that
when
I
was
come
againe
to
Hierusalem,
euen
while
I
prayed
in
the
temple,
I
was
in
a
trance,
22:18 And
saw
him
saying
vnto
mee,
Make
haste,
and
get
thee
quickly
out
of
Hierusalem:
for
they
will
not
receiue
thy
testimony
concerning
me.
22:19 And
I
said,
Lord,
they
know
that
I
imprisoned,
and
beat
in
euery
synagogue
them
that
beleeued
on
thee.
22:20 And
when
ye
blood
of
thy
martyr
Steuen
was
shed,
I
also
was
standing
by,
and
consenting
vnto
his
death,
and
kept
the
raiment
of
them
that
slew
him.
22:21 And
he
said
vnto
me,
Depart:
for
I
will
send
thee
farre
hence,
vnto
the
Gentiles.
22:22 And
they
gaue
him
audience
vnto
this
word,
and
then
lift
vp
their
voices,
and
said,
Away
with
such
a
fellow
from
the
earth:
for
it
is
not
fit
that
he
should
liue.
22:23 And
as
they
cried
out,
and
cast
off
their
clothes,
&
threw
dust
into
the
aire,
22:24 The
chiefe
captaine
commanded
him
to
be
brought
into
the
castle,
and
bade
that
hee
should
be
examined
by
scourging:
that
he
might
know
wherfore
they
cried
so
against
him.
22:25 And
as
they
bound
him
with
thongs,
Paul
said
vnto
the
Centurion
that
stood
by,
Is
it
lawfull
for
you
to
scourge
a
man
that
is
a
Romane,
and
vncondemned
22:26 When
the
Centurion
heard
that,
hee
went
and
told
the
chiefe
captaine,
saying,
Take
heede
what
thou
doest,
for
this
man
is
a
Romane.
22:27 Then
the
chiefe
captaine
came;
and
said
vnto
him,
Tell
me,
art
thou
a
Romane
He
said,
Yea.
22:28 And
the
chiefe
captaine
answered,
With
a
great
summe
obteined
I
this
freedome.
And
Paul
said,
But
I
was
free
borne.
22:29 Then
straightway
they
departed
from
him
which
should
haue
examined
him:
and
the
chiefe
captaine
also
was
afraid
after
he
knew
that
he
was
a
Romane,
&
because
he
had
bound
him.
22:30 On
the
morrow,
because
he
would
haue
knowen
the
certaintie
wherefore
he
was
accused
of
the
Iewes,
he
loosed
him
from
his
bands,
and
commanded
the
chiefe
Priests
and
all
their
Councill
to
appeare,
and
brought
Paul
downe,
and
set
him
before
them.
