1 But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
1 Y SAULO, respirando aún amenazas y muerte contra los discípulos del Señor, vino al príncipe de los sacerdotes,
2 and asked of him letters to Damascus unto the synagogues, that if he found any that were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
2 Y demandó de él letras para Damasco á las sinagogas, para que si hallase algunos hombres ó mujeres de esta secta, los trajese presos á Jerusalem.
3 And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus: and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven:
3 Y yendo por el camino, aconteció que llegando cerca de Damasco, súbitamente le cercó un resplandor de luz del cielo;
4 and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
4 Y cayendo en tierra, oyó una voz que le decía: Saulo, Saulo, ¿por qué me persigues?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:
5 Y él dijo: ¿Quién eres, Señor? Y él dijo: Yo soy Jesús á quien tú persigues: dura cosa te es dar coces contra el aguijón.
6 but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
6 El, temblando y temeroso, dijo: Señor, ¿qué quieres que haga? Y el Señor le dice: Levántate y entra en la ciudad, y se te dirá lo que te conviene hacer.
7 And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man.
7 Y los hombres que iban con Saulo, se pararon atónitos, oyendo á la verdad la voz, mas no viendo á nadie.
8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
8 Entonces Saulo se levantó de tierra, y abriendo los ojos, no veía á nadie: así que, llevándole por la mano, metiéronle en Damasco;
9 And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink.
9 Donde estuvo tres días sin ver, y no comió, ni bebió.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am here], Lord.
10 Había entonces un discípulo en Damasco llamado Ananías, al cual el Señor dijo en visión: Ananías. Y él respondió: Heme aquí, Señor.
11 And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth;
11 Y el Señor le [dijo]: Levántate, y ve á la calle que se llama la Derecha, y busca en casa de Judas á uno llamado Saulo, de Tarso: porque he aquí, él ora;
12 and he hath seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.
12 Y ha visto en visión un varón llamado Ananías, que entra y le pone la mano encima, para que reciba la vista.
13 But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he did to thy saints at Jerusalem:
13 Entonces Ananías respondió: Señor, he oído á muchos acerca de este hombre, cuántos males ha hecho á tus santos en Jerusalem:
14 and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name.
14 Y aun aquí tiene facultad de los príncipes de los sacerdotes de prender á todos los que invocan tu nombre.
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:
15 Y le dijo el Señor: Ve: porque instrumento escogido me es éste, para que lleve mi nombre en presencia de los Gentiles, y de reyes, y de los hijos de Israel:
16 for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
16 Porque yo le mostraré cuánto le sea menester que padezca por mi nombre.
17 And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way which thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
17 Ananías entonces fué, y entró en la casa, y poniéndole las manos encima, dijo: Saulo hermano, el Señor Jesús, que te apareció en el camino por donde venías, me ha enviado para que recibas la vista y seas lleno de Espíritu Santo.
18 And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and he arose and was baptized;
18 Y luego le cayeron de los ojos como escamas, y recibió al punto la vista: y levantándose, fué bautizado.
19 and he took food and was strengthened. And he was certain days with the disciples that were at Damascus.
19 Y como comió, fué confortado. Y estuvo Saulo por algunos días con los discípulos que estaban en Damasco.
20 And straightway in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.
20 Y luego en las sinagogas predicaba á Cristo, [diciendo] que éste era el Hijo de Dios.
21 And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that in Jerusalem made havoc of them that called on this name? and he had come hither for this intent, that he might bring them bound before the chief priests.
21 Y todos los que le oían estaban atónitos, y decían: ¿No es éste el que asolaba en Jerusalem á los que invocaban este nombre, y á eso vino acá, para llevarlos presos á los príncipes de los sacerdotes?
22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews that dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
22 Empero Saulo mucho más se esforzaba, y confundía á los Judíos que moraban en Damasco, afirmando que éste es el Cristo.
23 And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him:
23 Y como pasaron muchos días, los Judíos hicieron entre sí consejo de matarle;
24 but their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night that they might kill him:
24 Mas las asechanzas de ellos fueron entendidas de Saulo. Y ellos guardaban las puertas de día y de noche para matarle.
25 but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
25 Entonces los discípulos, tomándole de noche, le bajaron por el muro en una espuerta.
26 And when he was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
26 Y como vino á Jerusalem, tentaba de juntarse con los discípulos; mas todos tenían miedo de él, no creyendo que era discípulo.
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 at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
27 Entonces Bernabé, tomándole, lo trajo á los apóstoles, y contóles cómo había visto al Señor en el camino, y que le había hablado, y cómo en Damasco había hablado confiadamente en el nombre de Jesús.
28 And he was with them going in and going out at Jerusalem,
28 Y entraba y salía con ellos en Jerusalem;
29 preaching boldly in the name of the Lord: and he spake and disputed against the Grecian Jews; but they were seeking to kill him.
29 Y hablaba confiadamente en el nombre del Señor: y disputaba con los Griegos; mas ellos procuraban matarle.
30 And when the brethren knew it, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
30 Lo cual, como los hermanos entendieron, le acompañaron hasta Cesarea, y le enviaron á Tarso.
31 So the church throughout all Judæa and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was multiplied.
31 Las iglesias entonces tenían paz por toda Judea y Galilea y Samaria, y eran edificadas, andando en el temor del Señor; y con consuelo del Espíritu Santo eran multiplicadas.
32 And it came to pass, as Peter went throughout all parts, he came down also to the saints that dwelt at Lydda.
32 Y aconteció que Pedro, andándolos á todos, vino también á los santos que habitaban en Lydda.
33 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had kept his bed eight years; for he was palsied.
33 Y halló allí á uno que se llamaba Eneas, que hacía ocho años que estaba en cama, que era paralítico.
34 And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And straightway he arose.
34 Y le dijo Pedro: Eneas, Jesucristo te sana; levántate, y hazte tu cama. Y luego se levantó.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
35 Y viéronle todos los que habitaban en Lydda y en Sarona, los cuales se convirtieron al Señor.
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.
36 Entonces en Joppe había una discípula llamada Tabita, que si lo declaras, quiere decir Dorcas. Esta era llena de buenas obras y de limosnas que hacía.
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died: and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.
37 Y aconteció en aquellos días que enfermando, murió; á la cual, después de lavada, pusieron en una sala.
38 And as Lydda was nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men unto him, entreating him, Delay not to come on unto us.
38 Y como Lydda estaba cerca de Joppe, los discípulos, oyendo que Pedro estaba allí, le enviaron dos hombres, rogándole: No te detengas en venir hasta nosotros.
39 And Peter arose and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
39 Pedro entonces levantándose, fué con ellos: y llegado que hubo, le llevaron á la sala, donde le rodearon todas las viudas, llorando y mostrando las túnicas y los vestidos que Dorcas hacía cuando estaba con ellas.
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled 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.
40 Entonces echados fuera todos, Pedro puesto de rodillas, oró; y vuelto al cuerpo, dijo: Tabita, levántate. Y ella abrió los ojos, y viendo á Pedro, incorporóse.
41 And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
41 Y él le dió la mano, y levantóla: entonces llamando á los santos y las viudas, la presentó viva.
42 And it became known throughout all Joppa: and many believed on the Lord.
42 Esto fué notorio por toda Joppe; y creyeron muchos en el Señor.
43 And it came to pass, that he abode many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
43 Y aconteció que se quedó muchos días en Joppe en casa de un cierto Simón, curtidor.

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." And Paul too bids, "In meekness instruct those that oppose themselves." And Christ again, when His disciples …
