Actes 9:6 Tremblant et saisi d`effroi, il dit: Seigneur, que veux-tu que je fasse? Et le Seigneur lui dit: Lève-toi, entre dans la ville, et on te dira ce que tu dois faire.	Acts 9:6 But get up, and go into the town, and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.
Actes 9:7 Les hommes qui l`accompagnaient demeurèrent stupéfaits; ils entendaient bien la voix, mais ils ne voyaient personne.	Acts 9:7 And the men who were with him were not able to say anything; hearing the voice, but seeing no one.

Actes 9:18 Au même instant, il tomba de ses yeux comme des écailles, et il recouvra la vue. Il se leva, et fut baptisé;	Acts 9:18 And straight away it seemed as if a veil was taken from his eyes, and he was able to see; and he got up, and had baptism;

Actes 9:23 Au bout d`un certain temps, les Juifs se concertèrent pour le tuer,	Acts 9:23 Then, after some days, the Jews made an agreement together to put him to death:
Actes 9:24 et leur complot parvint à la connaissance de Saul. On gardait les portes jour et nuit, afin de lui ôter la vie.	Acts 9:24 But Saul got knowledge of their design. And they kept watch day and night on the roads out of the town, so that they might put him to death:
