Acts 9

11 Ref and the Lord `saith' unto him, `Having risen, go on unto the street that is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, `one' by name Saul of Tarsus, for, lo, he doth pray,

12 Ref and he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and putting a hand on him, that he may see again.'

13 Ref And Ananias answered, `Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Thy saints in Jerusalem,

14 Ref and here he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Thy name.'

15 Ref And the Lord said unto him, `Be going on, because a choice vessel to Me is this one, to bear My name before nations and kings -- the sons also of Israel;

16 Ref for I will shew him how many things it behoveth him for My name to suffer.'

17 Ref And Ananias went away, and did enter into the house, and having put upon him `his' hands, said, `Saul, brother, the Lord hath sent me -- Jesus who did appear to thee in the way in which thou wast coming -- that thou mayest see again, and mayest be filled with the Holy Spirit.'

18 Ref And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, he saw again also presently, and having risen, was baptized,

19 Ref and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days,

20 Ref and immediately in the synagogues he was preaching the Christ, that he is the Son of God.

21 Ref And all those hearing were amazed, and said, `Is not this he who laid waist in Jerusalem those calling on this name, and hither to this intent had come, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?'
