Acts 9:8-18

8Saul got up from the ground, and 1though his eyes were open, he 2could see nothing; and leading him by the hand, they brought him into 3Damascus. 9And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

10Now there was a disciple at 4Damascus named 5Ananias; and the Lord said to him in 6a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.” 11And the Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for a man from 7Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying, 12and he has seen 8in a vision a man named Ananias come in and 9lay his hands on him, so that he might regain his sight.” 13But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, 10how much harm he did to 11Your 12saints at Jerusalem; 14and here he 13has authority from the chief priests to bind all who 14call on Your name.” 15But the Lord said to him, “Go, for 15he is a chosen 16instrument of Mine, to bear My name before 17the Gentiles and 18kings and the sons of Israel; 16for 19I will show him how much he must suffer for My name’s sake.” 17So Ananias departed and entered the house, and after 20laying his hands on him said, “21Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be 22filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized;
