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. ”
