Acts 9:10-22

Listen to Acts 9:10-22

10 Now there was a disciple at ¹Damascus named ²Ananias; and the Lord said to him in ³a vision, "Ananias." And he said, "Here I am, Lord."

11 And the Lord said to him, "Get up and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for a man from ⁴Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying,

12 and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and ⁵lay his hands on him, so that he might regain his sight."

13 But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, ⁶how much harm he did to ⁷Your saints at Jerusalem;

14 and here he ⁸has authority from the chief priests to bind all who ⁹call on Your name."

15 But the Lord said to him, "Go, for ¹⁰he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before ¹¹the Gentiles and ¹²kings and the sons of Israel;

16 for ¹³I will show him how much he must suffer for My name's sake."

17 So Ananias departed and entered the house, and after ¹⁴laying his hands on him said, "¹⁵Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be ¹⁶filled with the Holy Spirit."

18 And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized;

and he took food and was strengthened.

Saul Begins to Preach Christ

19 Now ¹⁷ for several days he was with ¹⁸ the disciples who were at Damascus,

20 and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus ¹⁹in the synagogues, saying, "He is ²⁰the Son of God."

21 All those hearing him continued to be amazed, and were saying, "Is this not he who in Jerusalem ²¹destroyed those who ²²called on this name, and who had come here for the purpose of bringing them bound before the chief priests?"

22 But Saul kept increasing in strength and confounding the Jews who lived at Damascus by proving that this Jesus is the Christ.
