¹³ And Ananias answered, `Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Thy saints in Jerusalem,

³ and Saul was making havoc of the assembly, into every house entering, and haling men and women, was giving them up to prison;

¹⁹ and I said, Lord, they -- they know that I was imprisoning and was scourging in every synagogue those believing on thee;

²⁰ and when the blood of thy witness Stephen was being poured forth, I also was standing by and assenting to his death, and keeping the garments of those putting him to death;

¹ And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the disciples of the Lord, having gone to the chief priest,

¹³ who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did `it' in unbelief,

¹⁴ and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that `is' in Christ Jesus:

¹⁵ stedfast `is' the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners -- first of whom I am;

¹⁵ salute Philologus, and Julias, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints with them;

² that ye may receive her in the Lord, as doth become saints, and may assist her in whatever matter she may have need of you -- for she also became a leader of many, and of myself.

³¹ that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministration, that `is' for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the saints;

²⁵ And, now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints;

²⁶ for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who `are' in Jerusalem;

⁷ to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints; Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and `from' the Lord Jesus Christ!

¹⁰ which also I did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I in prison did shut up, from the chief priests having received the authority; they also being put to death, I gave my vote against them,

¹¹ and in every synagogue, often punishing them, I was constraining `them' to speak evil, being also exceedingly mad against them, I was also persecuting `them' even unto strange cities.

⁴ `And this way I persecuted unto death, binding and delivering up to prisons both men and women,

³² And it came to pass that Peter passing throughout all `quarters', came down also unto the saints who were dwelling at Lydda,

¹⁶ `Lo, I do send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be ye therefore wise as the serpents, and simple as the doves.

² `Rise, go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against it that their wickedness hath come up before Me.'

³ And Jonah riseth to flee to Tarshish from the face of Jehovah, and goeth down `to' Joppa, and findeth a ship going `to' Tarshish, and he giveth its fare, and goeth down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the face of Jehovah.

¹⁴ And a spirit hath lifted me up, and doth take me away, and I go bitterly, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of Jehovah on me `is' strong.

⁹ And I said, `I do not mention Him, Nor do I speak any more in His name,' And it hath been in my heart As a burning fire shut up in my bones, And I have been weary of containing, And I am not able.

¹⁰ For I have heard the evil report of many, Fear `is' round about: `Declare, and we declare it,' All mine allies are watching `for' my halting, `Perhaps he is enticed, and we prevail over him, And we take our vengeance out of him.'

⁹ And he saith, `What have I sinned, that thou art giving thy servant into the hand of Ahab -- to put me to death?

¹⁰ Jehovah thy God liveth, if there is a nation and kingdom whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee; and they said, He is not, then he caused the kingdom and the nation to swear, that it doth not find thee;

¹¹ and now, thou art saying, Go, say to thy lord, Lo, Elijah;

¹² and it hath been, I go from thee, and the Spirit of Jehovah doth lift thee up, whither I know not, and I have come to declare to Ahab, and he doth not find thee, and he hath slain me; and thy servant is fearing Jehovah from my youth.

¹³ `Hath it not been declared to my lord that which I have done in Jezebel's slaying the prophets of Jehovah, that I hide of the prophets of Jehovah a hundred men, fifty by fifty in a cave, and sustained them with bread and water?

¹⁴ and now thou art saying, Go, say to my lord, Lo, Elijah -- and he hath slain me!'

² And Samuel saith, `How do I go? when Saul hath heard, then he hath slain me.' And Jehovah saith, `A heifer of the herd thou dost take in thy hand, and hast said, To sacrifice to Jehovah I have come;

¹³ and he saith, `O, my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand Thou dost send.'

¹⁴ And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Moses, and He saith, `Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I have known that he speaketh well, and also, lo, he is coming out to meet thee; when he hath seen thee, then he hath rejoiced in his heart,

¹⁵ and thou hast spoken unto him, and hast set the words in his mouth, and I -- I am with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and have directed you that which ye do;

¹⁶ and he, he hath spoken for thee unto the people, and it hath come to pass, he -- he is to thee for a mouth, and thou -- thou art to him for God;

¹⁷ and this rod thou dost take in thy hand, with which thou doest the signs.'

¹⁸ And Moses goeth and turneth back unto Jethro his father-in-law, and saith to him, `Let me go, I pray thee, and I turn back unto my brethren who `are' in Egypt, and I see whether they are yet alive.' And Jethro saith to Moses, `Go in peace.'

¹⁹ And Jehovah saith unto Moses in Midian, `Go, turn back to Egypt, for all the men have died who seek thy life;'
