Acts 9:13-16

13But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many people about this man, especially how much suffering and evil he has brought on Your saints (God’s people) at Jerusalem;

14and here [in Damascus] he has authority from the high priests to put in chains all who call on Your name [confessing You as Savior].”

15But the Lord said to him, “Go, for this man is a [deliberately] chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel;

16for I will make clear to him how much he must suffer and endure for My name’s sake.”
