1And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2ⲁϥⲉⲣ⳿ⲉⲧⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲗⲏ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲉⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ ϣⲁ ⲛⲓⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉϥⲛⲁϫⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁ ⲡⲓⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓϩⲓ⳿ⲟⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲥⲟⲛϩⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲒⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅.
2And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϧⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲉⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϩⲟϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲟϯ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ..
3And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϩⲉⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲁⲟⲩⲗ ⲥⲁⲟⲩⲗ ⳿ⲁϧⲟⲕ ⲉⲕϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ..
4And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

5And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

6And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

7And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

8And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

9And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

10¶ And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here , Lord.
11ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲛⲕ ⲙⲁϣⲉⲛⲁⲕ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓϧⲓⲣ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲟⲩⲧⲱⲛ ⲕⲱϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲥⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲓⲣⲉⲙⲑⲁⲣⲥⲟⲥ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲱⲃϩ ..
11And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

12And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
13ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲁⲛⲓⲁⲥ ϫⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲁⲓⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲓⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲁⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲕ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅.
13Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

14And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.

15But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
16⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯⲛⲁⲧⲁⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓ⳿ⲙⲕⲁⲩϩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉϥⲛⲁϭⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲛ ..
16For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.

17And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⲁⲩϩⲉⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲃⲁⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲏⲕⲥ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲙⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ ⲁϥϭⲓⲱⲙⲥ ..
18And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
19⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ϧⲣⲉ ⲁϥϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ ..
19And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
20ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲁϥϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲪϯ ..
20And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
21ⲛⲁⲩⲧⲱⲙⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥ⳿ϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲧⲱⲃϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓϩⲱⲃ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲥⲟⲛϩⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ϣⲁ ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ..
21But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
22ⲥⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥ⳿ϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
22But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
23⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩϫⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲟϭⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϧⲟⲑⲃⲉϥ ..
23¶ And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
24ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲉ ⲥⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲡⲟⲩⲥⲟϭⲛⲓ ⲛⲁⲩ⳿ⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲡⲩⲗⲏ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲣϩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϧⲟⲑⲃⲉϥ ..
24But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
25ⲁⲩⲟⲗϥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲣϩ ⲁⲩⲭⲁϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲓⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲟⲃⲧ ..
25Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
26⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲒⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⲛⲁϥϭⲱⲛⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲙϥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ϧⲁⲧⲉϥϩⲏⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲥ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ ..
26And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
27ⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ⲁⲙⲁϩⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲛϥ ϣⲁ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲁϣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲏϯ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲠ⳪ ϩⲓ ⲡⲓⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲁϣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲏϯ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
27But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥϧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲁ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
28And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.

29And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.

30Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

31Then had the churches rest throughout all Judæa and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.

32¶ And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters , he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.

33And there he found a certain man named Æneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.

34And Peter said unto him, Æneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.

35And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.

36¶ Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.

37And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.

38And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
39ⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲗϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲥⲁ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲁϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲭⲏⲣⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲣⲓⲙⲓ ⲉⲩⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓ⳿ϣⲑⲏⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲱⲥ ⲉⲥⲑⲁⲙⲓⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲥϣⲟⲡ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯϭⲁϩⲥⲓ ..
39Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
