Acts 9:11-16

11 And the Lord said to him, "Rise and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man 1of Tarsus named Saul, for behold, he is praying,
12 and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and 2lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight."
13 But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, 3how much evil he has done to 4your 5saints at Jerusalem.
14 And here he has authority from 6the chief priests to bind all who 7call on your name."
15 But the Lord said to him, "Go, for 8he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name 9before the Gentiles and 10kings and the children of Israel.
16 For 11I will show him how much 12he must suffer 13for the sake of my name."
