Context of Acts 22:13

11The bright light hurt my eyes so that I could not see. So the men who were with me held my hand. They led me into Damascus. 12In Damascus, there was a man called Ananias. He worshipped God and he obeyed our Law. All the Jews in Damascus said good things about him. Ananias came to see me. He stood near to me and he said, “Brother Saul, see again!” Then immediately I could see again. I could look at him. 14Then Ananias said to me, “The God that we worship and our ancestors worshipped has chosen you. He will tell you what he wants you to do. God has let you see his special servant, who is completely good. You have heard this servant's message to you. 15You will tell people everywhere about the things that you have seen and heard. That is what God wants you to do.
