dwelt there,
13 Came to me, and stood, and said to me, Brother Shaul,
receive your sight. And the same hour I looked up at him.
14 And he said, The tvkt of our ahvot has chosen you,
that you should know His will, and see that Tzadik-One,
and should hear the voice from His mouth.
15 For you shall be His witness to all men 5372 of what
you have seen and heard.
16 And now why do you delay? Arise, and be immersed,
and wash away your sins, calling on the Name of vuvh.
17 And it came to pass, that, when I had come again to
Yahrushalayim, even while I made tefillah in the Beit
HaMikdash, I went into a trance;
18 And saw Him saying to me, Hurry, and get quickly out
of Yahrushalayim: for they will not receive your
testimony concerning Me.
19 And I said, Master, they know that I imprisoned and
beat in every synagogue those that believed on You: 5373
20 And when the dahm of Your martyr Tzephanyah was
shed, I also was standing by, and approving of his death,
and held the garments of those that killed him.
21 And He said to me, Depart: for I will send you far
from here to the nations. 5374
22 And they gave him their attention up to this word, and
then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a
fellow from the olam: for it is not fit that he should
live. 5375
23 And as they shouted, they cast off their clothes, and
threw dust into the air,
24 The chief captain commanded him to be brought into
the headquarters, and ordered that he should be examined
after a scourging and beating; that he might know the
reason they shouted against him.
25 And as they bound him with straps, Shaul said to the
captain that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a
man that is a citizen of Romiyah, and yet uncondemned?
26 When the captain heard that, he went and told the chief
captain, saying, Be careful what you do: for this man is a
citizen of Romiyah.
27 Then the chief captain came, and said to him, Tell me,
are you a Romiyah citizen? He said, Ken.
28 And the chief captain answered, I paid a great price for
my citizenship. And Shaul said, But I was freely born as a
Romiyah citizen.
29 Then right away those who should have examined him
left him alone: and the chief captain also was worried,
after he knew that he was a Romiyah citizen, because he
had bound him unlawfully.
30 On the next day, because he desired to know the true
reason why he was accused by the unbelieving Yahudim,
he unbound and released him, and commanded the chief
Kohanim and all their Sanhedrin to appear, and brought
Shaul down, and set him before them.
23
And Shaul, intently beholding the Sanhedrin, said,
Men and Yisraelite brothers, I have lived in all tov
conscience before vuvh until this day.
2 And the Kohen HaGadol Chananyah commanded them
that stood by him to hit him on the mouth.
3 Then said Shaul to him, vuvh shall hit you, you whited
wall: for you sit to judge me by the Torah, and then
command me to be hit contrary to the Torah.
4 And they that stood by said, Do you even revile

tvkt’s Kohen HaGadol?
5 Then said Shaul, I did not know brothers, that he was
the Kohen HaGadol: for it is written, You shall not speak
evil of the ruler of your people. 5376
6 But when Shaul perceived that the one part were
Tzadukim, and the other Prushim, he cried out in the
Sanhedrin, Men and brothers, I am a Prush, the son of a
Prush: because of my tikvah in the resurrection of the
dead – the meechayai hamaytiim – I am being questioned.
7 And when he had said this, there arose a dissension
between the Prushim and the Tzadukim: and the
multitude was divided.
8 For the Tzadukim say that there is no resurrection, or
heavenly malachim and shadim: but the Prushim confess
both.
9 And there arose a great tumult: and the Sophrim who
were of the Prushim’s viewpoint arose, saying, We find
no evil in this man: but if a ruach, or a heavenly malach
has spoken to him, let us not fight against tvkt.
10 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief
captain, fearing lest Shaul might have been pulled to
pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and
to take him by force from among them, and to bring him
into the headquarters.
11 And the night following gauvh stood by him, and said,
Be of tov ruach, Shaul: for as you have testified of Me
in Yahrushalayim, so must you bear witness in
Romiyah. 5377
12 And when it was daylight, certain of the Yahudim
banded together, and bound themselves under a curse,
saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had
killed Shaul.
13 And there were more than forty who had made this
conspiracy.
14 And they came to the chief Kohanim and zechanim,
and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse,
that we will eat nothing until we have killed Shaul.
15 Now therefore you with the Sanhedrin tell the chief
captain so that he brings him down to you tomorrow, and
pretend as if you are seeking more information from him:
and we, whenever he comes near, are ready to kill him.
16 And when Shaul’s nephew heard of their lying in wait,
he went and entered into the headquarters, and told Shaul.
17 Then Shaul called one of the centurions to him, and
said, Bring this young man to the chief captain: for he has
something to tell him.
18 So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain,
and said, Shaul the prisoner called me to him, and asked
me to bring this young man to you, who has something to
tell you.
19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went
with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that you
have to tell me?
20 And he said, The unbelieving Yahudim have agreed to
ask you that you would bring down Shaul tomorrow into
the Sanhedrin, as though they would inquire something of
him more fully.
21 But do not yield to them: for they lie in wait for him
more than forty men who, have bound themselves with an
oath, that they will neither eat nor drink until they have
killed him: and now they are ready, looking for the
promise from you.
22 So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and
