And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard of many of this man, how great evil he did to thy saints in Jerusalem;
14
and this hath power of the princes of priests, to bind all men that call thy name to help.
15
And the Lord said to him, Go thou, for this is to me a vessel of choosing, that he bear my name before heathen men, and kings, and before the sons of Israel [that he bear my name before heathen men, and kings, and the sons of Israel].
16
For I shall show to him, how great things it behooveth him to suffer for my name.
17
And Ananias went, and entered into the house; and laid on him his hands, and said [and he putting to him the hands, said], Saul brother, the Lord Jesus sent me, that appeared to thee in the way, in which thou camest, that thou see, and be full-filled with the Holy Ghost.
18
And at once as the scales felled from his eyes, he received sight [And anon there felled from his eyes as scales, and he received sight]. And he rose, and was baptized.
19
And when he had taken meat, he was comforted. And he was by some days with the disciples, that were at Damascus.
20
And at once [And anon] he entered into the synagogues, and preached the Lord Jesus, for this is the Son of God.
21
And all men that heard him, wondered, and said, Whether this is not he that impugned in Jerusalem them that called to help this name? and hither he came for this thing [and hither for this thing he came], that he should lead them bound to the princes of priests?
22
But Saul much the more waxed strong, and confounded the Jews that dwelled at Damascus, and affirmed that this is Christ [affirming for this is Christ].
23
And when many days were filled [were fulfilled], Jews made a counsel, that they should slay him.
