(39)But when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord
caught up Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more: then he went on his
way rejoicing. (40)But Philip found himself at Azotus: and passing
through he preached the gospel in all the cities, until he came to
Caesarea.

CHAP. IX.

BUT Saul, still breathing out threatenings and murder against the
disciples of the Lord, applying to the high-priest, (2)besought of him
letters for the synagogues at Damascus, that if he should find any
persons of this way, whether men or women, he might bring them in
chains to Jerusalem. (3)So advancing on his journey, he was drawing
nigh to Damascus: and suddenly there shone around him a light from
heaven: (4)and falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying unto him,
