1 A Savle još dišući pretnjom i smrću na učenike Gospodnje pristupi k poglavaru svešteničkom,
1 But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
2 i izmoli u njega poslanice u Damask na zbornice, ako koga nađe od ovog puta, i ljude i žene svezane da dovede u Jerusalim.
2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 A kad beše na putu i dođe blizu Damaska, ujedanput obasja ga svetlost s neba,
3 As he traveled, he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
4 i padnuvši na zemlju ču glas gde mu govori: Savle! Savle! Zašto me goniš?
4 He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
5 A on reče: Ko si Ti, Gospode? A Gospod reče: Ja sam Isus, kog ti goniš: teško ti je protivu bodila praćati se.
5 He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
6 A on drhćući od straha reče: Gospode! Šta hoćeš da činim? I Gospod mu reče: Ustani i uđi u grad, pa će ti se kazati šta ti treba činiti.
6 But rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told what you must do.”
7 A ljudi koji iđahu s njim stajahu i čuđahu se, jer čujahu glas a ne viđahu nikoga.
7 The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
8 A Savle usta od zemlje, i otvorenim očima svojim nikoga ne viđaše. A oni ga uzeše za ruku i uvedoše u Damask.
8 Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
9 I beše tri dana slep, i ne jede, niti pi.
9 He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
10 A u Damasku beše jedan učenik, po imenu Ananija, i reče mu Gospod u utvari: Ananija! A on reče: Evo me, Gospode!
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”
11 A Gospod mu reče: Ustani i idi u ulicu koja se zove Prava, i traži u domu Judinom po imenu Savla Taršanina; jer gle, on se moli Bogu,
11 The Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
12 i vide u utvari čoveka, po imenu Ananiju, gde uđe i metnu ruku na nj da progleda.
12 and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.”
13 A Ananija odgovori: Gospode! Ja čuh od mnogih za tog čoveka kolika zla počini svetima Tvojim u Jerusalimu;
13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
14 i ovde ima vlast od glavara svešteničkih da veže sve koji prizivaju ime Tvoje.
14 Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”
15 A Gospod mu reče: Idi, jer mi je on sud izbrani da iznese ime moje pred neznabošce i careve i sinove Izrailjeve.
15 But the Lord said to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
16 A ja ću mu pokazati koliko mu valja postradati za ime moje.
16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
17 I pođe Ananija, i uđe u kuću, i metnuvši ruke na nj reče: Savle, brate! Gospod Isus, koji ti se javi na putu kojim si išao, posla me da progledaš i da se napuniš Duha Svetog.
17 Ananias departed and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18 I odmah otpade od očiju njegovih kao krljušt, i odmah progleda, i ustavši krsti se.
18 Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
19 I pošto pojede okrepi se. I bi Savle nekoliko dana s učenicima koji behu u Damasku.
19 He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
20 I odmah po zbornicama propovedaše Isusa da je On Sin Božji.
20 Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Christ, that he is the Son of God.
21 A svi koji slušahu divljahu se i govorahu: Nije li ovo onaj što gonjaše u Jerusalimu one koji spominjahu ime ovo, i ovde zato dođe da ih povezane vodi glavarima svešteničkim.
21 All who heard him were amazed, and said, “Isn’t this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests!”
22 A Savle se većma siljaše i zabunjivaše Jevreje koji žive u Damasku, dokazujući da je ovo Hristos.
22 But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 A kad se navrši podosta dana, dogovoriše se Jevreji da ga ubiju.
23 When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
24 Ali Savle doznade njihov dogovor; a oni čuvahu vrata dan i noć da bi ga ubili;
24 but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
25 a učenici ga uzeše noću i spustiše preko zida u kotarici.
25 but his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 A kad dođe Savle u Jerusalim, ogledaše da se pribije uz učenike; i svi ga se bojahu, jer ne verovahu da je učenik.
26 When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27 A Varnava ga uze i dovede k apostolima, i kaza im kako na putu vide Gospoda, i kako mu govori, i kako u Damasku slobodno propoveda ime Isusovo.
27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
28 I beše s njima i ulazi u Jerusalim i izlazi i slobodno propovedaše ime Gospoda Isusa.
28 He was with them entering into Jerusalem,
29 I govoraše i prepiraše se s Grcima, a oni gledahu da ga ubiju.
29 preaching boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
30 A kad razumeše braća, svedoše ga u Ćesariju, i otpustiše ga u Tars.
30 When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
31 A crkve po svoj Judeji i Galileji i Samariji behu na miru, i napredovahu, i hođahu u strahu Gospodnjem, i umnožavahu se utehom Svetog Duha.
31 So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
32 I dogodi se kad Petar obilažaše sve, da dođe i k svetima koji življahu u Lidi.
32 As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
33 I nađe tamo jednog čoveka po imenu Eneju, koji već osam godina ležaše na odru, jer beše uzet.
33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years because he was paralyzed.
34 I reče mu Petar: Eneja! Isceljuje te Isus Hristos, ustani i prostri sam sebi. I odmah usta.
34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.
35 I videše ga svi koji življahu u Lidi i u Asaronu, i obratiše se ka Gospodu.
35 All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
36 A u Jopi beše jedna učenica po imenu Tavita, koje znači srna, i ona beše puna dobrih dela i milostinje što činjaše.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
37 I dogodi se u te dane da se ona razbole i umre; onda je okupaše i metnuše u gornju sobu.
37 In those days, she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
38 A budući da je Lida blizu Jope, onda učenici čuvši da je Petar u njoj poslaše dva čoveka moleći ga da ne požali truda doći do njih.
38 As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.
39 A Petar ustavši otide s njima, i kad dođe, izvedoše ga u gornju sobu i skupiše se oko njega sve udovice plačući i pokazujući suknje i haljine što je radila Srna dok je bila s njima.
39 Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the tunics and other garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40 A Petar izgnavši sve napolje kleče na kolena i pomoli se Bogu, i okrenuvši se k telu reče: Tavito! Ustani. A ona otvori oči svoje, i videvši Petra sede.
40 Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 Petar pak pruživši joj ruku podiže je; i dozvavši svete i udovice pokaza je živu.
41 He gave her his hand and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42 I ovo se razglasi po svoj Jopi, i mnogi verovaše Gospoda.
42 This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 I dogodi se da on osta mnogo dana u Jopi u nekog Simona kožara.
43 He stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
What may be the reason that He neither drew any one of high authority and importance, nor caused such to be forthcoming for the purpose of instructing Paul?

… persecuting His disciples, he persecuted his own Lord, and sent Ananias to him that he might recover his sight, and be baptized--"preached," it is said, "Jesus in the synagogues at Damascus, with all freedom of speech, that this is the Son of God, the Christ." This is the mystery which he says was made known to him by revelation, that …

See, for example, how He Himself, the insulted one, discourses with us, both in the Old Testament, and in the New; in the one saying, "O my people, what have I done unto thee?" in the other, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me."
