Acts 9:2-20

2and askedG154 of him lettersG1992 to DamascusG1154 unto the synagoguesG4864, that if he foundG2147 any that wereG1510 of the WayG3598, whether menG435 or womenG1135, he might bringG71 them boundG1210 to JerusalemG2419. 3And as he journeyed, it cameG1096 to passG1096 that he drew nigh unto DamascusG1154: and suddenlyG1810 there shone round about him a lightG5457 out of heavenG3772: 4and he fellG4098 upon the earthG1093, and heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 unto him, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thou me? 5And he saidG3004, Who art thou, LordG2962? And he saidG3004, I amG1510 JesusG2424 whom thou persecutest: 6but riseG450, and enterG1525 into the cityG4172, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. 7And the menG435 that journeyed with him stoodG2476 speechless, hearingG191 the voiceG5456, but beholding no manG435. 8And SaulG4569 arose from the earthG1093; and when his eyesG3788 were openedG455, he sawG991 nothing; and they led him by the hand, and broughtG1521 him into DamascusG1154. 9And he wasG1510 threeG5140 daysG2250 without sight, and did neither eatG2068 nor drinkG4095.

10NowG1161 there wasG1510 a certainG5100 discipleG3101 at DamascusG1154, namedG3686 AnaniasG367; and the LordG2962 saidG3004 unto him in a visionG3705, AnaniasG367. And he saidG3004, BeholdG2400, I amG1510 here, LordG2962. 11And the LordG2962 said unto him, AriseG450, and goG4198 to the streetG4505 which is calledG2564 StraightG2117, and inquire in the houseG3614 of JudasG2455 for oneG3588 namedG3686 SaulG4569, a man of TarsusG5018: for beholdG2400, he prayeth; 12and he hath seenG3708 a manG435 namedG3686 AnaniasG367 comingG1525 in, and layingG2007 his handsG5495 on him, that he might receiveG308 his sightG308. 13But AnaniasG367 answeredG611, LordG2962, I have heardG191 from manyG4183 of this manG435, howG3745 muchG4183 evilG2556 he did to thy saintsG40 at JerusalemG2419: 14and hereG5602 he hath authorityG1849 from the chiefG749 priestsG749 to bindG1210 all that callG1941 upon thy nameG3686. 15But the LordG2962 saidG3004 unto him, GoG4198 thy way: for he isG1510 a chosen vesselG4632 unto me, to bearG941 my nameG3686 before the GentilesG1484 and kingsG935, and the children of IsraelG2474: 16for I will showG5263 him howG3745 manyG3745 things he must sufferG3958 for my name’sG3686 sake. 17And AnaniasG367 departedG565, and enteredG1525 into the houseG3614; and layingG2007 his handsG5495 on him saidG3004, BrotherG80 SaulG4549, the LordG2962, evenG2532 JesusG2424, who appeared unto thee in the wayG3598 which thou camest, hath sentG649 me, that thou mayest receiveG308 thy sightG308, and be filledG4130 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 18And straightway there fell from his eyesG3788 as it were scales, and he receivedG308 his sightG308; and he aroseG450 and was baptizedG907; 19and he tookG2983 foodG5160 and was strengthened.

And he was certainG5100 daysG2250 with the disciplesG3101 that were at DamascusG1154. 20And straightway in the synagoguesG4864 he proclaimedG2784 JesusG2424, that he isG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
