Acts 9:13-21

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.” 17So Ananias departed and entered the house, and after 12laying his hands on him said, “13Brother 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 14filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18And immediately something like fish scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized; 19and he took food and was strengthened.

Now 15for several days he was with 16the disciples who were in Damascus, 20and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus 17in the synagogues, 18saying, “He is 19the Son of God.” 21All those hearing him continued to be amazed, and were saying, “Is this not the one who in Jerusalem 20destroyed those who 21called on this name, and had come here for the purpose of bringing them bound before the chief priests?”
