Context of Acts 22:13

11“I was blind because the light had been so bright. So the men who were with me led me into the city of Damascus. 12“A man named Ananias lived in Damascus. He was a devout person who followed Moses’ Teachings. All the Jews living in Damascus spoke highly of him. He came to me, stood beside me, and said, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ At that moment my sight came back and I could see Ananias. 14“Ananias said, ‘The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will, to see the one who has God’s approval, and to hear him speak to you. 15You will be his witness and will tell everyone what you have seen and heard.
