Deeds (Act) of Apostles 22:2-9

²And when some heard that in (the) Hebrew tongue he spake to them, they gave the more silence or they gave more silence. And he said,

³I am a man a Jew, born at Tarsus of Cilicia, nourished and in this city beside the feet of Gamaliel or nourished forsooth in this city beside the feet of Gamaliel, taught by the truth of (our) fathers’ law, a lover or a follower of the law (or an ardent follower of the Law), as also ye all be today.

⁴And I pursued this way till to the death, binding together and betaking into holds men and women, (And I persecuted the followers of this way unto the death, taking them captive, and delivering them to prison, yea, both men and women,)

⁵as the prince of priests yieldeth witnessing to me, and all the greatest of birth or and all the more in birth. Of whom also I took epistles to (the) brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring from thence men bound into Jerusalem, that they should be pained. (as the High Priest, and all the greatest of birth, or the elders, have testified about me. And from whom I took letters to the brothers, and went to Damascus, to bring back to Jerusalem from there men in bondage, so that they could be punished.)

⁶And it was done, while I went, and nighed to Damascus (or and approached to Damascus), at midday suddenly from heaven a great plenty of light or a copious light shone about me.

⁷And I felled down to the earth, and heard a voice from heaven, saying to me, Saul, Saul, what pursuest thou me? It is hard to thee, to kick against the prick, +or It is hard for thee, to kick against the prick. (And I fell down to the ground, and heard a voice from heaven, saying to me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee, to kick against the prod.)

⁸And I answered, Who art thou Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou pursuest, (or I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest).

⁹And they that were with me saw but the light, but they heard not the voice of him, that spake with me, (or but they did not hear the voice of him, who spoke with me).
