Jesus

And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed unto them the Christ.

But when they believed Philip preaching good tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

for as yet it was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

And Simon answered and said, Pray ye for me to the Lord, that none of the things which ye have spoken come upon me.

They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.

But an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza: the same is desert.

Now the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth:

In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: His generation who shall declare? For his life is taken from the earth.

And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, preached unto him Jesus.

And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.

But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:

but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth;

But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he did to thy saints at Jerusalem:

and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name.

But 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:

for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.

And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way which thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

And straightway in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.

But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews that dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.

But 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 at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
