Acts 9:10-17

10 Now there was a disciple at Damascus named ¹Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias. ”And he said, ²“Here I am, Lord. ”

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 ³of Tarsus named Saul, for behold, he is praying,

12 and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and ⁴lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight. ”

13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, ⁵how much evil he has done to ⁶your ⁷saints at Jerusalem.

14 And here he has authority from ⁸the 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 carry my name ¹¹before the Gentiles and ¹²kings and the children of Israel.

16 For ¹³I will show him how much ¹⁴he must suffer ¹⁵for the sake of my name. ”

17 So ¹⁶Ananias departed and entered the house. And ¹⁷laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came has sent me so that you may regain your sight and ¹⁸be filled with the Holy Spirit. ”
