Die Bekehrung des Saulus

1 Saulus aber schnaubte noch mit Drohen und Morden gegen die Jünger des Herrn und ging zum Hohenpriester (Apg 8,3; Apg 22,3; Apg 26,9)

Apg 8,3Apg 22,3Apg 26,9

2 und bat ihn um Briefe nach Damaskus an die Synagogen, dass er Anhänger dieses Weges^[1], Männer und Frauen, wenn er sie fände, gefesselt nach Jerusalem führe. (Apg 22,4) 3 Als er aber auf dem Wege war und in die Nähe von Damaskus kam, umleuchtete ihn plötzlich ein Licht vom Himmel; (1Kor 15,8) 4 und er fiel auf die Erde und hörte eine Stimme, die sprach zu ihm: Saul, Saul, was verfolgst du mich? 5 Er aber sprach: Herr, wer bist du? Der sprach: Ich bin Jesus, den du verfolgst. 6 Steh auf und geh in die Stadt; da wird man dir sagen, was du tun sollst. 7 Die Männer aber, die seine Gefährten waren, standen sprachlos da; denn sie hörten zwar die Stimme, sahen aber niemanden. 8 Saulus aber richtete sich auf von der Erde; und als er seine Augen aufschlug, sah er nichts. Sie nahmen ihn aber bei der Hand und führten ihn nach Damaskus; 9 und er konnte drei Tage nicht sehen und aß nicht und trank nicht. 10 Es war aber ein Jünger in Damaskus mit Namen Hananias; dem erschien der Herr und sprach: Hananias! Und er sprach: Hier bin ich, Herr. 11 Der Herr sprach zu ihm: Steh auf und geh in die Straße, die die Gerade heißt, und frage in dem Haus des Judas nach einem Mann mit Namen Saulus von Tarsus. Denn siehe, er betet 12 und hat in einer Erscheinung einen Mann gesehen mit Namen Hananias, der zu ihm hereinkam und ihm die Hände auflegte, dass er wieder sehend werde. 13 Hananias aber antwortete: Herr, ich habe von vielen gehört über diesen Mann, wie viel Böses er deinen Heiligen in Jerusalem angetan hat; 14 und hier hat er Vollmacht von den Hohenpriestern, alle gefangen zu nehmen, die deinen Namen anrufen. 15 Doch der Herr sprach zu ihm: Geh nur hin; denn dieser ist mein auserwähltes Werkzeug, dass er meinen Namen trage vor Heiden und vor Könige und vor das Volk Israel. (Apg 13,46; Apg 26,2; Apg 27,24; Gal 1,15)

Apg 13,46Apg 26,2Apg 27,24Gal 1,15

16 Ich will ihm zeigen, wie viel er leiden muss um meines Namens willen. (Mt 10,22; Lk 21,12; 2Kor 11,23) 17 Und Hananias ging hin und kam in das Haus und legte die Hände auf ihn und sprach: Lieber Bruder Saul, der Herr hat mich gesandt, Jesus, der dir auf dem Wege hierher erschienen ist, dass du wieder sehend und mit dem Heiligen Geist erfüllt werdest. 18 Und sogleich fiel es von seinen Augen wie Schuppen, und er wurde wieder sehend; und er stand auf, ließ sich taufen

Saulus in Damaskus und Jerusalem

19 und nahm Speise zu sich und stärkte sich. Saulus blieb aber einige Tage bei den Jüngern in Damaskus. 20 Und alsbald predigte er in den Synagogen von Jesus, dass dieser Gottes Sohn sei. (Lk 1,35; Lk 3,22; Lk 22,70; Joh 1,49; Joh 11,27)

Lk 1,35Lk 3,22Lk 22,70Joh 1,49Joh 11,27

21 Alle aber, die es hörten, entsetzten sich und sprachen: Ist das nicht der, der in Jerusalem alle vernichten wollte, die diesen Namen anrufen, und ist er nicht deshalb hierher gekommen, dass er sie gefesselt zu den Hohenpriestern führe? (Apg 8,1; Apg 8,3; Apg 26,10)

Apg 8,1Apg 8,3Apg 26,10

22 Saulus aber gewann immer mehr an Kraft und trieb die Juden in die Enge, die in Damaskus wohnten, und bewies, dass dieser der Christus ist. (Apg 18,28) 23 Und nach vielen Tagen hielten die Juden einen Rat, dass sie ihn töteten. 24 Ihr Plan aber wurde Saulus bekannt. Sie bewachten Tag und Nacht auch die Tore, um ihn zu töten. (2Kor 11,32) 25 Da nahmen ihn seine Jünger bei Nacht und ließen ihn in einem Korb die Mauer hinab. 26 Als er aber nach Jerusalem kam, versuchte er, sich zu den Jüngern zu halten; doch sie fürchteten sich alle vor ihm und glaubten nicht, dass er ein Jünger wäre. (Gal 1,17) 27 Barnabas aber nahm ihn zu sich und führte ihn zu den Aposteln und erzählte ihnen, wie Saulus auf dem Wege den Herrn gesehen und dass der mit ihm geredet und wie er in Damaskus im Namen Jesu frei und offen gepredigt habe. (Apg 4,36) 28 Und er ging bei ihnen in Jerusalem ein und aus und predigte im Namen des Herrn frei und offen. 29 Er redete und stritt auch mit den griechischen Juden; aber sie stellten ihm nach, um ihn zu töten. 30 Als das die Brüder erfuhren, geleiteten sie ihn nach Cäsarea und schickten ihn weiter nach Tarsus. (Apg 11,25; Gal 1,21) 31 So hatte nun die Gemeinde Frieden in ganz Judäa und Galiläa und Samarien und baute sich auf und lebte in der Furcht des Herrn und mehrte sich unter dem Beistand des Heiligen Geistes.

Petrus in Lydda

32 Es geschah aber, als Petrus überall im Land umherzog, dass er auch zu den Heiligen kam, die in Lydda wohnten. 33 Dort fand er einen Mann mit Namen Äneas, der hatte acht Jahre auf dem Bett gelegen, er war gelähmt. 34 Und Petrus sprach zu ihm: Äneas, Jesus Christus macht dich gesund; steh auf und mach dir selber das Bett. Und sogleich stand er auf. 35 Da sahen ihn alle, die in Lydda und in Scharon wohnten, und bekehrten sich zu dem Herrn.

Die Auferweckung der Tabita

36 In Joppe war eine Jüngerin mit Namen Tabita, das heißt übersetzt: Gazelle. Die tat viele gute Werke und gab reichlich Almosen. 37 Es begab sich aber zu der Zeit, dass sie krank wurde und starb. Da wuschen sie sie und legten sie in das Obergemach. 38 Weil aber Lydda nahe bei Joppe ist, sandten die Jünger, als sie hörten, dass Petrus dort war, zwei Männer zu ihm und baten ihn: Säume nicht, zu uns zu kommen! 39 Petrus aber stand auf und ging mit ihnen. Und als er hingekommen war, führten sie ihn hinauf in das Obergemach und es traten alle Witwen zu ihm, weinten und zeigten ihm die Röcke und Kleider, die Tabita gemacht hatte, als sie noch bei ihnen war. 40 Und als Petrus sie alle hinausgetrieben hatte, kniete er nieder, betete und wandte sich zu dem Leichnam und sprach: Tabita, steh auf! Und sie schlug ihre Augen auf; und als sie Petrus sah, setzte sie sich auf. (Mk 5,41) 41 Er aber gab ihr die Hand und ließ sie aufstehen und rief die Heiligen und die Witwen und stellte sie lebendig vor sie. 42 Und das wurde in ganz Joppe bekannt und viele kamen zum Glauben an den Herrn. 43 Und es geschah, dass Petrus einige Zeit in Joppe blieb bei einem Simon, der ein Gerber war.

King James Version

1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. 3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. 7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. 8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. 9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. 10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. 11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, 12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight. 13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: 14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name. 15 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: 16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. 17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. 18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. 19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. 20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. 21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests? 22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. 23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him: 24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket. 26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. 27 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 he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem. 29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. 30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. 31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied. 32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. 33 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy. 34 And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately. 35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord. 36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did. 37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. 38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them. 39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them. 40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive. 42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord. 43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.

The Conversion of Saul

1 But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest (Ps 27,12; Apg 8,3; Apg 9,13; Apg 9,21; Apg 22,5; Apg 26,10)

Ps 27,12Apg 8,3Apg 9,13Apg 9,21Apg 22,5Apg 26,10

2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. (Jes 30,21; Jes 35,8; Am 8,14; Lk 12,11; Lk 21,12; Apg 16,17; Apg 18,25; Apg 19,9; Apg 19,23; Apg 22,4; Apg 22,19; Apg 24,14; Apg 24,22)

Jes 30,21Jes 35,8Am 8,14Lk 12,11Lk 21,12Apg 16,17Apg 18,25Apg 19,9Apg 19,23Apg 22,4Apg 22,19Apg 24,14Apg 24,22

3 Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. (Apg 22,6; Apg 26,12; 1Kor 15,8) 4 And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” (Jes 63,9; Sach 2,8) 5 And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. (Apg 9,4) 6 But rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.” (Hes 3,22; Apg 9,16; 1Kor 9,16; Gal 1,1)

Hes 3,22Apg 9,161Kor 9,16Gal 1,1

7 The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one. (Dan 10,7; Joh 12,29; Apg 22,9) 8 Saul rose from the ground, and although his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. So they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. (Apg 22,11) 9 And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank. 10 Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.” (1Mo 22,1; Jes 6,8; Apg 22,12) 11 And the Lord said to him, “Rise and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul, for behold, he is praying, (Apg 21,39; Apg 22,3) 12 and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.” (Mk 5,23; Apg 9,17) 13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem. (Apg 9,1; Röm 15,25; Röm 15,31; 1Thess 3,13; 2Thess 1,10)

Apg 9,1Röm 15,25Röm 15,311Thess 3,132Thess 1,10

14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.” (Apg 7,59; Apg 9,21; Apg 22,16; Röm 10,13; 1Kor 1,2; 2Tim 2,22)

Apg 7,59Apg 9,21Apg 22,16Röm 10,131Kor 1,22Tim 2,22

15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel. (Apg 13,2; Apg 25,22; Apg 26,1; Apg 26,32; Röm 1,1; Röm 1,5; Röm 11,13; Röm 15,16; Gal 1,15; Gal 1,16; Gal 2,2; Gal 2,7; Eph 3,7; 1Tim 2,7; 2Tim 4,16; 2Tim 4,17)

16 For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” (Apg 5,41; Apg 9,6; Apg 14,22; Apg 20,23; Apg 21,4; Apg 21,11; 2Kor 6,4; 2Kor 11,23; 1Thess 3,3)

17 So Ananias departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” (Apg 2,4; Apg 9,12; Apg 22,12) 18 And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized; (Apg 22,13; Apg 22,16)

Saul Proclaims Jesus in Synagogues

19 and taking food, he was strengthened. For some days he was with the disciples at Damascus. (Apg 9,9; Apg 26,20) 20 And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “He is the Son of God.” (Apg 9,22) 21 And all who heard him were amazed and said, “Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called upon this name? And has he not come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests?” (Apg 9,13; Gal 1,13; Gal 1,23) 22 But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ. (Apg 9,20; Apg 18,28; 1Tim 1,12)

Saul Escapes from Damascus

23 When many days had passed, the Jews^[1] plotted to kill him, (Gal 1,17) 24 but their plot became known to Saul. They were watching the gates day and night in order to kill him, (Apg 20,3; Apg 20,19; Apg 23,12; Apg 23,30; Apg 25,3; 2Kor 11,32)

Apg 20,3Apg 20,19Apg 23,12Apg 23,30Apg 25,32Kor 11,32

25 but his disciples took him by night and let him down through an opening in the wall,^[2] lowering him in a basket. (Jos 2,15; 1Sam 19,12; 2Kor 11,33)

Saul in Jerusalem

26 And when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join the disciples. And they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple. (Apg 22,17; Apg 26,20) 27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles and declared to them how on the road he had seen the Lord, who spoke to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus. (Apg 4,29; Apg 4,36; Apg 9,3; Apg 9,19; Apg 9,22; Gal 1,18)

Apg 4,29Apg 4,36Apg 9,3Apg 9,19Apg 9,22Gal 1,18

28 So he went in and out among them at Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord. (Apg 1,21) 29 And he spoke and disputed against the Hellenists.^[3] But they were seeking to kill him. (Apg 6,1; Apg 22,18) 30 And when the brothers learned this, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus. (Joh 21,23; Apg 11,25; Gal 1,21) 31 So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied. (Neh 5,9; Apg 8,1; Apg 9,35; Apg 9,42; Apg 16,5)

Neh 5,9Apg 8,1Apg 9,35Apg 9,42Apg 16,5

The Healing of Aeneas

32 Now as Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda. (Apg 8,25) 33 There he found a man named Aeneas, bedridden for eight years, who was paralyzed. 34 And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed.” And immediately he rose. (Apg 3,6) 35 And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord. (1Chr 5,16; 1Chr 27,29; Hl 2,1; Apg 9,31; Apg 9,42; Apg 11,21; 2Kor 3,16)

Dorcas Restored to Life

36 Now there was in Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which, translated, means Dorcas.^[4] She was full of good works and acts of charity. (Jos 19,46; 1Tim 2,10) 37 In those days she became ill and died, and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room. (Apg 1,13; Apg 9,39; Apg 20,8) 38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, urging him, “Please come to us without delay.” (4Mo 22,16) 39 So Peter rose and went with them. And when he arrived, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him weeping and showing tunics^[5] and other garments that Dorcas made while she was with them. (Apg 9,37) 40 But Peter put them all outside, and knelt down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. (Mt 9,25; Mk 5,41; Joh 11,43; Apg 7,60)

Mt 9,25Mk 5,41Joh 11,43Apg 7,60

41 And he gave her his hand and raised her up. Then, calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive. 42 And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. (Joh 11,45; Joh 12,11) 43 And he stayed in Joppa for many days with one Simon, a tanner. (Apg 10,6)
