2and askedG154 for 1lettersG1992 from him to 2the synagoguesG4864 at 3DamascusG1154, soG3704 that ifG1437 he foundG2147 anyG5100 belongingG1510 to 4the WayG3598, bothG5037 menG435 and womenG1135, he might bringG71 them boundG1210 to JerusalemG2419. 3As he was travelingG4198, it happenedG1096 that he was approachingG1448 DamascusG1154, and 5suddenlyG1810 a lightG5457 from heavenG3772 flashedG4015 aroundG4015 him; 4and 6he fellG4098 to the groundG1093 and heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 to him, “SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 are you persecutingG1377 Me?” 5And he saidG3004, “WhoG5101 are You, LordG2962?” And He said, “I amG1510 JesusG2424 whomG3739 you are persecutingG1377, 6but getG450 up and enterG1525 the cityG4172, and 7it will be toldG2980 you whatG3739G5101 you mustG1163 doG4160.” 7The menG435 who traveledG4922 with him 8stoodG2476 speechlessG1753, 9hearingG191 the 10voiceG5456 but seeingG2334 noG3367 oneG3367. 8SaulG4569 gotG1453 up from the groundG1093, and 11though his eyesG3788 were openG455, he 12could seeG991 nothingG3762; and leadingG5496 him by the handG5496, they broughtG1521 him into 13DamascusG1154. 9And he was threeG5140 daysG2250 withoutG3361 sightG991, and neitherG3756 ateG2068 norG3761 drankG4095.

10NowG1161 there was a discipleG3101 at 14DamascusG1154 namedG3686 15AnaniasG367; and the LordG2962 saidG3004 to him in 16a visionG3705, “AnaniasG367.” And he saidG3004, “HereG2400 I am, LordG2962.” 11And the LordG2962 said to him, “GetG450 up and goG4198 to the streetG4505 calledG2564 StraightG2117, and inquireG2212 at the houseG3614 of JudasG2455 for a man from 17TarsusG5018 namedG3686 SaulG4569, for he is prayingG4336, 12and he has seenG3708 18in a visionG3705 a manG435 namedG3686 AnaniasG367 comeG1525 in and 19layG2007 his handsG5495 on him, soG3704 that he might regainG308 his sightG308.” 13But AnaniasG367 answeredG611, “LordG2962, I have heardG191 from manyG4183 aboutG4012 thisG3778 manG435, 20howG3745 muchG3745 harmG2556 he didG4160 to 21Your 22saintsG40 at JerusalemG2419; 14and hereG5602 he 23hasG2192 authorityG1849 from the chiefG749 priestsG749 to bindG1210 allG3956 who 24callG1941 on Your nameG3686.” 15But the LordG2962 saidG3004 to him, “GoG4198, for 25he is a chosenG1589 26instrumentG4632 of MineG1473, to bearG941 My nameG3686 beforeG1799 27the GentilesG1484 and 28kingsG935 and the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2274; 16for 29I will showG5263 him howG3745 muchG3745 he mustG1163 sufferG3958 for My name’sG3686 sakeG5228.” 17SoG3704 AnaniasG367 departedG565 and enteredG1525 the houseG3614, and after 30layingG2007 his handsG5495 on him saidG3004, “31BrotherG80 SaulG4549, the LordG2962 JesusG2424, who appearedG3708 to you on the roadG3598 by whichG3739 you were comingG2064, has sentG649 me soG3704 that you may regainG308 your sightG308 and be 32filledG4092 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.” 18And immediatelyG2112 there fellG634 from his eyesG3788 something likeG5613 scalesG3013, and he regainedG308 his sightG308, and he gotG450 up and was baptizedG907; 19and he tookG2983 foodG5160 and was strengthenedG1765.

NowG1161 33for severalG5100 daysG2250 he was with 34the disciplesG3101 who were at DamascusG1154, 20and immediatelyG2112 he began to proclaimG2784 JesusG2424 35in the synagoguesG4864, 36sayingG3754, “He is 37the SonG5207 of GodG2316.”
