Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." He answered, "Here I am, Lord."
11
The Lord said to him, "Get up and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul. At this moment he is praying,
12
and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight."
13
But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints in Jerusalem;
14
and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who invoke your name."
15
But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is an instrument whom I have chosen to bring my name before Gentiles and kings and before the people of Israel;
16
I myself will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name."
