Jesus

Now Philip went down to a city in Shomron and was proclaiming the Messiah to them;

But when they came to believe Philip, as he announced the Good News concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Yeshua the Messiah, they were immersed, both men and women.

For until then he had not come upon any of them; they had only been immersed into the name of the Lord Yeshua.

Shim‘on answered, “Pray to the Lord for me, so that none of the things you have spoken about will happen to me.”

Then, after giving a thorough witness and speaking the Word of the Lord, Kefa and Yochanan started back to Yerushalayim, announcing the Good News to many villages in Shomron.

An angel of Adonai said to Philip, “Get up, and go southward on the road that goes down from Yerushalayim to ‘Azah, the desert road.”

Now the portion of the Tanakh that he was reading was this: “He was like a sheep led to be slaughtered; like a lamb silent before the shearer, he does not open his mouth.

He was humiliated and denied justice. Who will tell about his descendants, since his life has been taken from the earth?”

Then Philip started to speak — beginning with that passage, he went on to tell him the Good News about Yeshua.

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.

When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. The eunuch saw no more of him, because he continued on his way — full of joy.

Meanwhile, Sha’ul, still breathing murderous threats against the Lord’s talmidim, went to the cohen hagadol

Falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Sha’ul! Sha’ul! Why do you keep persecuting me?”

“Sir, who are you?” he asked. “I am Yeshua, and you are persecuting me.

But get up, and go into the city, and you will be told what you have to do.”

There was a talmid in Dammesek, Hananyah by name; and in a vision the Lord said to him, “Hananyah!” He said, “Here I am, Lord.”

The Lord said to him, “Get up and go to Straight Street, to Y’hudah’s house; and ask for a man from Tarsus named Sha’ul; for he is praying,

But Hananyah answered, “Lord, many have told me about this man, how much harm he has done to your people in Yerushalayim;

and here he has a warrant from the head cohanim to arrest everyone who calls on your name.”

But the Lord said to him, “Go, because this man is my chosen instrument to carry my name to the Goyim, even to their kings, and to the sons of Isra’el as well.

For I myself will show him how much he will have to suffer on account of my name.”

So Hananyah left and went into the house. Placing his hands on him, he said, “Brother Sha’ul, the Lord — Yeshua, the one who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here — has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Ruach HaKodesh.”

and immediately he began proclaiming in the synagogues that Yeshua is the Son of God.

But Sha’ul was being filled with more and more power and was creating an uproar among the Jews living in Dammesek with his proofs that Yeshua is the Messiah.

However, Bar-Nabba got hold of him and took him to the emissaries. He told them how Sha’ul had seen the Lord while traveling, that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Dammesek Sha’ul had spoken out boldly in the name of Yeshua.
