10
And there was a certain disciple in Damascus by name Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, [here am] I, Lord.
11
And the Lord [said] to him, Rise up and go into the street which is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas one by name Saul, [he is] of Tarsus: for, behold, he is praying,
12
and has seen [in a vision] a man by name Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he should see.
13
And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many concerning this man how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem;
14
and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name.
15
And the Lord said to him, Go, for this [man] is an elect vessel to me, to bear my name before both nations and kings and [the] sons of Israel:
16
for *I* will shew to him how much he must suffer for my name.
17
And Ananias went and entered into the house; and laying his hands upon him he said, Saul, brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus that appeared to thee in the way in which thou camest, that thou mightest see, and be filled with [the] Holy Spirit.
18
And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he saw, and rising up was baptised;
19
and, having received food, got strength. And he was with the disciples who [were] in Damascus certain days.
20
And straightway in the synagogues he preached Jesus that *he* is the Son of God.
