6 [8:34]And the eunuch answered and said to Philip, Of whom I pray you does the prophet say this? of himself or of some other one? [8:35]And Philip opening his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him the good news of Jesus. [8:36]And as they went on the way they came to a certain water, and the eunuch said, Behold water; what hinders me from being baptized? [8:38]And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. [8:39]And when they went up from the water the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more; for he went his way rejoicing. [8:40]But Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through he preached the good news to all the cities till he came to Caesarea. CHAPTER VII. THE CONVERSION OF SAUL, PETER CURING AENEAS, AND RAISING DORCAS FROM THE DEAD. 1 [9:1]BUT Saul, yet breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the chief priest [9:2]and asked of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of that way, he might bring them bound, men and women, to Jerusalem. [9:3]And he was going and had come nigh to Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven, [9:4]and falling on the earth he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, Why do you persecute me? [9:5]And he said, Who are you, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom you persecute. [9:6]But arise and enter into the city, and it shall be told you what you must do. [9:7]And the men travelling with him stood amazed, hearing indeed the voice, but beholding no one. [9:8]And Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes being opened he saw nothing; and leading him by the hand they conducted him to Damascus. [9:9]And he was three days without sight, and neither eat nor drank. 2 [9:10]And there was a certain disciple at Damascus by the name of Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. [9:11]And the Lord said to him, Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for [a man] by the name of Saul of Tarsus; for behold, he prays, [9:12]and has seen a man by the name of Ananias coming and putting a hand on him, that he might receive his sight. [9:13]And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem; [9:14]and here he has power from the chief priests to bind all that call on your name. [9:15]But the Lord said to him, Go, for he is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name both before nations and kings, and the children of Israel; [9:16]for I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name.
