I said then; What shall I do Lord? And the Lord said to me; Having risen up do go to Damascus, and there and there you it will be told concerning all things that it has been appointed you to do.
11 ωσ δε ουκ ενεβλεπον απο τησ δοξησ του φωτοσ εκεινου χειραγωγουμενοσ υπο των συνοντων μοι ηλθον εισ δαμασκον
While now not I was seeing because of the brightness of the light that, being led by the hand by those being with me I came to Damascus.

For you will be a witness for Him to all men of what you have seen and heard.
16 και νυν τι μελλεισ αναστασ βαπτισαι και απολουσαι τασ αμαρτιασ σου επικαλεσαμενοσ το ονομα του κυριου
And now why delay you? Having arisen do yourself be baptized and do yourself wash away the sins of you calling on the name (of Him. *N+KO)

It happened then to me having returned to Jerusalem and praying by me in the temple falling I into a trance
18 και ιδειν αυτον λεγοντα μοι σπευσον και εξελθε εν ταχει εξ ιερουσαλημ διοτι ου παραδεξονται σου την μαρτυριαν περι εμου
and seeing Him saying to me; do make haste and do go away with speed out of Jerusalem, because not they will receive your testimony about Me.

And I myself And I myself said; Lord, they themselves know that I myself was imprisoning and beating in each of those synagogues those believing on You;
20 και οτε εξεχειτο το αιμα στεφανου του μαρτυροσ σου και αυτοσ ημην εφεστωσ και συνευδοκων τη αναιρεσει αυτου φυλασσων τα ιματια των αναιρουντων αυτον
And when was poured out the blood of Stephen the witness of You, also I myself was already standing by and consenting (to the killing of him *K) and watching over the garments of those executing him.
21 και ειπεν προσ με πορευου οτι εγω εισ εθνη μακραν εξαποστελω σε
And He said to me; do go, for I myself to [the] Gentiles far away will send you.

They were listening now to him until this word and they lifted up the voice of them saying; Away from the earth [with] such; Not for (it was proper *N+kO) [for] him to live!

Ordered the commander (to be brought in *N+kO) him into the barracks having directed by flogging to be examined him, so that he may know for what cause like this they were crying out against him.
25 ωσ δε προετεινεν αυτον τοισ ιμασιν ειπεν προσ τον εστωτα εκατονταρχον ο παυλοσ ει ανθρωπον ρωμαιον και ακατακριτον εξεστιν υμιν μαστιζειν
As however (they stretched forward *N+kO) him with the straps, said to the already standing by centurion Paul; If a man a Roman and uncondemned it is lawful to you to flog?
26 ακουσασ δε ο εκατονταρχοσ προσελθων απηγγειλεν τω χιλιαρχω λεγων ορα τι μελλεισ ποιειν ο γαρ ανθρωποσ ουτοσ ρωμαιοσ εστιν
Having heard then the centurion having gone to the commander he reported [it] saying; (do you see *K) what are you going to do? for man this a Roman is.

Having come near then the commander said to him; do tell me, (if *k) you yourself a Roman are? And he was saying; Yes.
28 απεκριθη τε ο χιλιαρχοσ εγω πολλου κεφαλαιου την πολιτειαν ταυτην εκτησαμην ο δε παυλοσ εφη εγω δε και γεγεννημαι
Answered (then *N+kO) the commander; I myself with a great sum citizenship this bought. But Paul was saying; I myself however even has been born [so].

Immediately therefore departed from him those being about him to examine. and the commander also was afraid having ascertained that a Roman he is and because him he had having bound.
30 τη δε επαυριον βουλομενοσ γνωναι το ασφαλεσ το τι κατηγορειται παρα των ιουδαιων ελυσεν αυτον απο των δεσμων και εκελευσεν ελθειν τουσ αρχιερεισ και ολον το συνεδριον αυτων και καταγαγων τον παυλον εστησεν εισ αυτουσ
