Acts 9:13-16

13But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many people about this man, 1how much harm he did to 2Your 3saints in Jerusalem;

14and here he 4has authority from the chief priests to 5arrest all who 6call on Your name.”

15But the Lord said to him, “Go, for 7he is a chosen 8instrument of Mine, to bear My name before 9the Gentiles and 10kings and the sons of Israel;

16for 11I will show him how much he must suffer in behalf of My name.”
