4
and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him,
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said],
I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:
6
but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7
And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man.
8
And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9
And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink.
10
Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am here], Lord.
11
And the Lord [said] unto him,
Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth;
12
and he hath seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.
13
But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he did to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14
and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name.
