Acts 9

9 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the
disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2 
And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he
found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring
them bound unto Jerusalem.
3 
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there
shined round about him a light from heaven:
4 
And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul,
why persecutest thou me?
5 
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom
thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6 
And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to
do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall
be told thee what thou must do.
7 
And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a
voice, but seeing no man.
8 
And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw
no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 
And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
10 
And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to
him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here,
Lord.
11 
And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called
Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus:
for, behold, he prayeth,
12 
And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting
his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
13 
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how
much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 
And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on
thy name.
15 
But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto
me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of
Israel:
16 
For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
17 
And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his
hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto
thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive
thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he
received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
19 
And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul
certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
