Acts 9:23-43

Matthew(i) 23 And after a good whyle, the Iewes toke counsell together to kyl him. 24 But their laying awaite was knowen of Saule. And they watched at the gates day and night, to kyl hym, 25 then the disciples toke hym by nyght and put hym thorow the wall, and let him doune in a basket. 26 And when Saule was come to Hierusalem he assaied to couple him selfe wyth the dyscyples and they were all afraied of him and beleued not that he was a dyscyple. 27 But Barnabas toke hym and broughte hym to the Apostles and declared to them, howe he had sene the Lorde in the waye, and had spoken wyth hym: and howe he had done boldlye at Damasco in the name of Iesu. 28 And he had his conuersation wyth them at Hierusalem, 29 and quit hymselfe boldlie in the name of the Lorde Iesus. And he spake and disputed with the Grekes: and they wente aboute to slea him. 30 But when the brethren knew of that, they brought him to Cesaria, and sent him forth to Tharsus. 31 Then had the congregations reste thorowe out all Iewry and Galile and Samarie, and were edified, and walked in the feare of the Lorde, and multiplied by the confort of the holy ghoste. 32 And it chaunced that as Peter walked thorow out al quarters, he came to the sainctes, whiche dwelt at Lydda, 33 and there he founde a certaine man named Eueas, which had kepte his bed .viij. yere sycke of the palsey. 34 Then saied Peter vnto hym: Eneas, Iesus Christe make the whole. Aryse, and make thy bed. And he arose immediatlie. 35 And all that dwelte at Lidda and Assaron, sawe hym, and turned to the Lorde. 36 Ther was at Ioppa a certaine woman, (which was a disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Doreas) the same was ful of good workes and almes dedes, whiche she did. 37 And it chaunsed in those daies that she was sicke and dyed. When they had washed her, and layed her in a chamber: 38 Because Lidda was nye to Ioppa, and the discyples had hearde, that Peter was there, they sent vnto hym, desieringe hym that he would not be greued to come vnto them. 39 Peter arose and came wyth them & when he was come, they brought him into the chamber. And all the wydowes stode round about him wepynge and shewynge the cotes & garmentes, whyche Dorcas made whyle she was wyth them. 40 And Peter put them al forth and kneled doune, and praied and turned him to the bodye, and saied: Tabitha, aryse. And she opened her eyes, and when she sawe Peter she sat vp. 41 And he gaue her the hande, and lyfte her vp, and called the Sayntes and wydowes, and sheweth her alyue. 42 And it was knowen thorowe out all Ioppa, and many beleued on the Lorde. 43 And it fortuned that he taried manye dayes in Ioppa wyth one Simon a tanner.
