And sudenli a liyt from heuene schoon aboute hym; 4 and he fallide to the erthe, and herde a vois seiynge to hym, Saul, Saul, what pursuest thou me? 5 And he seide, Who art thou, Lord? And he seide, Y am Jhesu of Nazareth, whom thou pursuest. It is hard to thee, to kike ayens the pricke. 6 And he tremblide, and wondride, and seide, Lord, what wolt thou that Y do? 7 And the Lord seide to hym, Rise vp, and entre in to the citee, and it schal be seide to thee, what it bihoueth thee to do. And tho men that wenten with hym, stoden astonyed; for thei herden a vois, but thei sien no man. 8 And Saul roos fro the earth; and whanne hise iyen weren opened, he say no thing. And thei drowen hym bi the hondis, and ledden hym in to Damask. 9 And he was thre daies not seynge; `and he eete not, nether drank. 10 And a disciple, Ananye bi name, was at Damask. And the Lord seide to hym in `a visioun, Ananye. And he seide, Lo! 11 Y, Lord. And the Lord seide to hym, Rise thou, and go in to a streete that is clepid Rectus; and seke, in the hous of Judas, Saul bi name of Tharse. For lo! he preieth; and he say a man, 12 Ananye bi name, entringe and leiynge on hym hoondis, that he resseyue siyt. 13 And Ananye answerde, Lord, Y haue herd of many of this man, how greete yuelis he dide to thi seyntis in Jerusalem; 14 and this hath power of the princis of preestis, to bynde alle men that clepen thi name to helpe. 15 And the Lord seide to hym, Go thou, for this is to me a vessel of chesing, that he bere my name bifore hethene men, and kingis, and tofore the sones of Israel. 16 For Y schal schewe to hym, how grete thingis it bihoueth hym to suffre for my name. 17 And Ananye wente, and entride in to the hous; and leide on hym his hondis, and seide, Saul brothir, the Lord Jhesu sente me, that apperide to thee in the weie, in which thou camest, that thou se, and be fulfillid with the Hooli Goost. 18 And anoon as the scalis felden fro hise iyen, he resseyuede siyt. And he roos, and was baptisid. 19 And whanne he hadde takun mete, he was coumfortid. And he was bi sum daies with the disciplis, that weren at Damask. 20 And anoon he entride in to the synagogis, and prechide the Lord Jhesu, for this is the sone of God. 21 And alle men that herden hym, wondriden, and seiden, Whether this is not he that impugnede in Jerusalem hem that clepiden to help this name? and hidir he cam for this thing, that he schulde leede hem boundun to the princis of preestis? 22 But Saul myche more wexede strong, and confoundide the Jewis that dwelliden at Damask, and affermyde that this is Crist. 23 And whanne manye daies weren fillid, Jewis maden a counsel, that thei schulden sle hym. 24 And the aspies of hem weren maad knowun to Saul.

And thei souyten to sle hym. 30 Which thing whanne the britheren hadden knowe, thei ledden hym bi nyyt to Cesarie, and leten hym go to Tarsis. 31 And the chirche bi al Judee, and Galilee, and Samarie, hadde pees, and was edefied, and walkide in the drede of the Lord, and was fillid with coumfort of the Hooli Goost. 32 And it bifelde, that Petre, the while he passide aboute alle, cam to the hooli men that dwelliden at Lidde. 33 And he foond a man, Eneas bi name, that fro eiyte yeer he hadde leie `in bed; and he was sijk in palsy. 34 And Petre seide to hym, Eneas, the Lord Jhesu Crist heele thee; rise thou, and araye thee. And anoon he roos. 35 And alle men that dwelten at Lidde, and at Sarone, saien hym, whiche weren conuertid to the Lord. 36 And in Joppe was a disciplesse, whos name was Tabita, that is to seie, Dorcas. This was ful of good werkis and almesdedis, that sche dide. 37 And it bifelde in tho daies, that sche was sijk, and diede.
