HY HET HULLE GEWYS SY LEEF:

36. In Joppe was daar ‘n gelowige vrou met die naam Tabita, (in Grieks – Dorkas.) Sy was altyd besig om aan ander goed te doen, en armes te help.

37. Juis in dié tyd het sy siek geword, en is sy dood. Hulle het haar liggaam gewas, en vir die begrafnis voorberei, en in ‘n bokamer neergelê.

38. Met Lidda naby Joppe, het die gelowiges gehoor dat Petrus daar is. Hulle het toe twee mans na hom toe gestuur met die versoek: ‘Kom asseblief sonder uitstel na ons toe!’

39. Petrus is dadelik saam met hulle terug. Toe hy daar kom het hulle hom bokamer toe gevat. Al die weduwees het by hom kom staan, en snikkend vir hom die verskillende soorte klere gewys wat Dorkas gemaak het, toe sy nog by hulle was.

40. Petrus het almal egter uitgestuur, en toe het hy gekniel en gebid. Daarna het hy na die liggaam toe gedraai en gesê: “Tabita, staan op!” En sy het haar oë oopgemaak! Toe sy Petrus sien, het sy regop gesit.

41. Hy het haar sy hand gegee en haar help opstaan. Daarna het hy die gelowiges en die weduwees geroep, en hulle gewys dat sy leef!

42. Die gebeure het in die hele Joppe bekend geword, en baie het tot geloof in die Here gekom.

43. Petrus het ‘n hele aantal dae in Joppe gebly, by ‘n sekere Simon, ‘n leerlooier.

HE PRESENTED HER ALIVE:

36. There was in Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which translated, means Dorcas. She was full of good works ànd acts of charity.

37. In those days she became ill and died, and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.

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.’

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 and other garments that Dorcas had made while she was with them.

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!

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.

43. And he stayed in Joppa for many days, with one Simon, a tanner.

HULLE HET PLANNE BERAAM OM HOM TE VERMOOR:

29. Saulus het ook met Grieks-sprekende Jode gepraat, en met hulle geredeneer, maar hulle het planne beraam om hom te vermoor.

30. Toe die gelowiges dit agterkom, het hulle hom Sesarea toe gevat, en van daar na Tarsus toe gestuur.

31. Die Kerk het deur die hele Judea, Galilea en Samaria vrede gehad. Die gelowiges is opgebou en het in ontsag vir die Here geleef, en hulle is deur die Heilige Gees versterk. Op hierdie manier het hulle getalle aangegroei.

32. Petrus het van plek tot plek gereis, en het ook op ‘n keer, by die gelowiges in die dorp Lidda gekom.

33. Daar het hy ‘n man met die naam Eneas gekry wat verlam en al agt jaar bedlêend was.

34. “Eneas,” het Petrus toe vir hom gesê: “Jesus Christus maak jou gesond! Staan op en rol jou bed op!” En hy het dadelik opgestaan.

35. Al die inwoners van Lidda en die Saronvlakte het hulle tot die Here bekeer, toe hulle Eneas genees sien rondgaan.

THEY WERE SEEKING TO KILL HIM:

29. And he spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.

30. And when the brothers learned this, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off to Tarsus.

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.

32. As Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.

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 he immediately rose.

35. And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him moving about, and they turned to the Lord.

I am trusting the Holy Spirit of God to reveal the correct portion of Scripture to me every day, according to your needs and expectations.

SAUL INCREASED ALL THE MORE IN STRENGTH:

Vrydag 10 Mei 2024.

PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:

(Handelinge 9:20-28)

SAULUS SE PREDIKING HET AL HOE KRAGTIGER GEWORD:

20. Saulus het Jesus dadelik in die Sinagoges begin verkondig – dat Hy die Seun van God is.

21. Almal wat hom gehoor het, was verbaas en het gesê: ‘Is dit nie dieselfde man wat Jesus se volgelinge in Jerusalem getreiter het nie? Dis mos presies waarvoor hy hierheen gekom het: Om die gelowiges geboeid voor die priesterhoofde te bring!’

22. Saulus se prediking het al hoe kragtiger geword, en het die Damaskus-Jode in die war gebring, deur te bewys dat Jesus die Christus is.

23. Na etlike dae het hierdie Jode saamgesweer om Saulus te vermoor.

24. Hulle komplot het egter aan Saulus uitgelek. Dag en nag het hulle die stad se poorte dopgehou om hom te vermoor.

25. Maar sy volgelinge het hom in ‘n mandjie deur ‘n opening in die stadsmuur laat afsak.

26. Toe Saulus in Jerusalem aankom, het hy probeer om by die gelowiges aan te sluit, maar almal was bang vir hom. Hulle kon nie glo dat hy ‘n gelowige is nie.

27. Barnabas het hom toe na die apostels toe gevat, en vir hulle vertel hoe Saulus op pad na Damaskus die Here gesien het. Barnabas het ook vertel dat die Here met Saulus gepraat het, en hoe hy in Damaskus openlik in die Naam van Jesus gepreek het.

28. Saulus het toe orals in Jerusalem saam met die apostels rondgegaan, en openlik in die Naam van die Here gepreek.

SAUL INCREASED ALL THE MORE IN STRENGTH:

20. And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the Synagogues, saying: “He is the Son of God.”

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?’

22. But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus, by proving that Jesus was the Christ.

23. When many days had passed, the Jews plotted to kill Saul,

24. but their plot became known to him. They were watching the gates day and night in order to kill him,

25. but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket.

26. And when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join the disciples. But they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple.

27. But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them, how on the road to Damascus Saul had seen the Lord, Who spoke to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the Name of Jesus.

28. So Saul went in and out among the apostles at Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the Name of the Lord Jesus.
