PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:

(Handelinge 9:10-19)

HY KON WEER SIEN:

10. Daar was ‘n gelowige in Damaskus, met die naam Ananias. Die Here het hom in ‘n gesig geroep: ‘+Ananias!’+ “Ja Here,” het hy geantwoord.

11. Daarop sê die Here vir hom: ‘.+Gaan nóú Reguitstraat toe, na Judas se huis. Vra daar na Saulus van Tarsus. Want kyk, hy is besig om te bid.

12. ‘+Ek het hom ‘n gesig laat sien dat ‘n man met die naam Ananias inkom, en sy hande op hom sit, sodat hy weer kan sien.’+

13. Maar Ananias het geantwoord: “Here, ek het al by baie mense van hierdie man gehoor – watter kwaad hy die gelowiges in Jerusalem aangedoen het!

14. “En ons hoor hy het ‘n mandaat van die priesterhoofde om al die gelowiges hier in Damaskus te arresteer.”

15. Die Here het egter vir hom gesê: ‘+Gaan doen wat Ek sê, want Ek het Saulus as My instrument uitgekies, om My boodskap uit te dra na volke en konings, en ook aan die volk Israel.

16. ‘+Ek sal inderdaad self vir hom wys hoeveel hy vir My moet ly.’+

17. Ananias het toe vertrek, en by daardie huis ingegaan. Hy het sy hande op Saulus gesit en gesê: “Broer Saul, die Here het my gestuur, Jesus wat aan jou verskyn het op pad hierheen. Hy het my gestuur sodat jy weer kan sien, en met die Heilige Gees vervul kan word.”

18. Onmiddellik het iets soos skille van Saulus se oë afgeval, en hy kon weer sien. Hy het opgestaan en is gedoop.

19. Hy het toe kos geëet en sy kragte begin herwin. Saulus het toe ‘n paar dae by die gelowiges in Damaskus gebly.

(Acts 9:10-19)

HE REGAINED HIS SIGHT:

10. There was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision: ‘+Ananias!’+ And he said: “Here am I, Lord!”

11. And the Lord said to him: ‘+Rise, and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas, look for a man of Tarsus, named Saul, for behold, he is praying.

12. ‘+And he has seen in a vision, a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him, so that he might regain his sight.’+

13. But Ananias answered: “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to Your saints at Jerusalem.

14. “And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on Your Name.”

15. But the Lord said to him: ‘+Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to carry My Name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel.

16. ‘+For I Will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of My Name.’+

17. So Ananias departed and entered the house. And laying hands on Saul, he said: “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus Who appeared to you on the road by which you came, Has sent me so that you may regain your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

18. And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized,

19. and taking food, he was strengthened. For some days he was with the disciples at Damascus.

PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:

(Handelinge 9:3-9)

“DIS VIR MY WAT JY VERVOLG:”

3. Toe Saulus op sy sending naby Damaskus kom, het daar skielik ‘n lig uit die hemel hom omstraal!

4. Hy het op die grond neergeval, en ‘n stem vir hom hoor sê: ‘+Saul, Saul, waarom vervolg jy My?’+

5. “Wie is U Here?” het hy toe gevra. ‘+Ek is Jesus,’+ antwoord Hy daarop. ‘+Dis vir MY wat jy vervolg.

6. ‘+Staan nou op en gaan die stad in. Dáár sal vir jou gesê word wat jou te doen staan.’+

7. Die mans saam met hom was sprakeloos van verbasing, want hulle het iemand se stem gehoor, maar niemand gesien nie.

8. Saulus het van die grond af opgestaan, en alhoewel sy oë oop was, kon hy niks sien nie. Hulle is Damaskus in terwyl sy reisgenote hom aan die hand lei.

9. Hy was drie dae lank daar, sonder om te sien, en hy het ook niks geëet of gedrink nie.

PEARL FOR EACH DAY:

(Acts 9:3-9)

“I AM JESUS WHOM YOU ARE PERSECUTING.”

3. As Saul went on his way, he approached Damascus. And suddenly a light from heaven shone around him.

4. And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him: ‘+Saul, Saul, why are you percecuting Me?’+

5. And Saul said: “Who are You, Lord?” And He said: ‘+I Am Jesus, Whom you are persecuting.

6. ‘+But rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.’.+

7. The men who were traveling with Saul, stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one.

8. Saul rose from the ground, and although his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. So they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

9. And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank anything.
