1 Мужи братия и отцы! выслушайте теперь мое оправдание перед вами.
1 “Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make to you.”
2 Услышав же, что он заговорил с ними на еврейском языке, они еще более утихли. Он сказал:
2 When they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they were even more quiet. He said,
3 я Иудеянин, родившийся в Тарсе Киликийском, воспитанный в сем городе при ногах Гамалиила, тщательно наставленный в отеческом законе, ревнитель по Боге, как и все вы ныне.
3 “I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict tradition of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as you all are today.
4 Я даже до смерти гнал последователей сего учения, связывая и предавая в темницу и мужчин и женщин,
4 I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women,
5 как засвидетельствует о мне первосвященник и все старейшины, от которых и письма взяв к братиям, живущим в Дамаске, я шел, чтобы тамошних привести в оковах в Иерусалим на истязание.
5 as also the high priest and all the council of the elders testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and traveled to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.
6 Когда же я был в пути и приближался к Дамаску, около полудня вдруг осиял меня великий свет с неба.
6 “As I made my journey and came close to Damascus, about noon suddenly a great light shone around me from the sky.
7 Я упал на землю и услышал голос, говоривший мне: Савл, Савл! что ты гонишь Меня?
7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
8 Я отвечал: кто Ты, Господи? Он сказал мне: Я Иисус Назорей, Которого ты гонишь.
8 I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.’
9 Бывшие же со мною свет видели, и пришли в страх; но голоса Говорившего мне не слыхали.
9 “Those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they didn’t understand the voice of him who spoke to me.
10 Тогда я сказал: Господи! что мне делать? Господь же сказал мне: встань и иди в Дамаск, и там тебе сказано будет все, что назначено тебе делать.
10 I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Arise, and go into Damascus. There you will be told about all things which are appointed for you to do.’
11 А как я от славы света того лишился зрения, то бывшие со мною за руку привели меня в Дамаск.
11 When I couldn’t see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.
12 Некто Анания, муж благочестивый по закону, одобряемый всеми Иудеями, живущими в Дамаске,
12 “One Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus,
13 пришел ко мне и, подойдя, сказал мне: брат Савл! прозри. И я тотчас увидел его.
13 came to me, and standing by me said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ In that very hour I looked up at him.
14 Он же сказал мне: Бог отцов наших предъизбрал тебя, чтобы ты познал волю Его, увидел Праведника и услышал глас из уст Его,
14 He said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.
15 потому что ты будешь Ему свидетелем пред всеми людьми о том, что ты видел и слышал.
15 For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.
16 Итак, что ты медлишь? Встань, крестись и омой грехи твои, призвав имя Господа Иисуса,
16 Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’
17 Когда же я возвратился в Иерусалим и молился в храме, пришел я в исступление,
17 “When I had returned to Jerusalem and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance
18 и увидел Его, и Он сказал мне: поспеши и выйди скорее из Иерусалима, потому что здесь не примут твоего свидетельства о Мне.
18 and saw him saying to me, ‘Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not receive testimony concerning me from you.’
19 Я сказал: Господи! им известно, что я верующих в Тебя заключал в темницы и бил в синагогах,
19 I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue those who believed in you.
20 и когда проливалась кровь Стефана, свидетеля Твоего, я там стоял, одобрял убиение его и стерег одежды побивавших его.
20 When the blood of Stephen, your witness, was shed, I also was standing by, consenting to his death, and guarding the cloaks of those who killed him.’
21 И Он сказал мне: иди; Я пошлю тебя далеко к язычникам.
21 “He said to me, ‘Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.’ ”
22 До этого слова слушали его; а за сим подняли крик, говоря: истреби от земли такого! ибо ему не должно жить.
22 They listened to him until he said that; then they lifted up their voice and said, “Rid the earth of this fellow, for he isn’t fit to live!”
23 Между тем как они кричали, метали одежды и бросали пыль на воздух,
23 As they cried out, threw off their cloaks, and threw dust into the air,
24 тысяченачальник повелел ввести его в крепость, приказав бичевать его, чтобы узнать, по какой причине так кричали против него.
24 the commanding officer commanded him to be brought into the barracks, ordering him to be examined by scourging, that he might know for what crime they shouted against him like that.
25 Но когда растянули его ремнями, Павел сказал стоявшему сотнику: разве вам позволено бичевать Римского гражданина, да и без суда?
25 When they had tied him up with straps, Paul asked the centurion who stood by, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and not found guilty?”
26 Услышав это, сотник подошел и донес тысяченачальнику, говоря: смотри, что ты хочешь делать? этот человек — Римский гражданин.
26 When the centurion heard it, he went to the commanding officer and told him, “Watch what you are about to do, for this man is a Roman!”
27 Тогда тысяченачальник, подойдя к нему, сказал: скажи мне, ты Римский гражданин? Он сказал: да.
27 The commanding officer came and asked him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” He said, “Yes.”
28 Тысяченачальник отвечал: я за большие деньги приобрел это гражданство. Павел же сказал: а я и родился в нем.
28 The commanding officer answered, “I bought my citizenship for a great price.” Paul said, “But I was born a Roman.”
29 Тогда тотчас отступили от него хотевшие пытать его. А тысяченачальник, узнав, что он Римский гражданин, испугался, что связал его.
29 Immediately those who were about to examine him departed from him, and the commanding officer also was afraid when he realized that he was a Roman, because he had bound him.
30 На другой день, желая достоверно узнать, в чем обвиняют его Иудеи, освободил его от оков и повелел собраться первосвященникам и всему синедриону и, выведя Павла, поставил его перед ними.
30 But on the next day, desiring to know the truth about why he was accused by the Jews, he freed him from the bonds and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.

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).
See how he thrusts himself (into danger), I came, he says, after that vision, "to Jerusalem. I was in a trance," etc. Again, this is without witness: but observe, the witness follows from the result. He said, "They will not receive thy testimony:" they did not receive it.

… or else, if they do receive all these, they must necessarily admit also that testimony concerning Paul, when he (Luke) tells us that the Lord spoke at first to him from heaven: "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me? I am Jesus Christ, whom thou persecutest;" and then to Ananias, saying regarding him: "Go thy way; for he is a chosen …
