Acts 9:13-21

13But AnaniasG367 answeredG611, “LordG2962, I have heardG191 from manyG4183 peopleG4183 aboutG4012 thisG3778 manG435, 1howG3745 muchG3745 harmG2556 he didG4160 to 2Your 3saintsG40 in JerusalemG2419; 14and hereG5602 he 4hasG2192 authorityG1849 from the chiefG749 priestsG749 to 5arrestG1210 allG3956 who 6callG1941 onG1941 Your nameG3686.” 15But the LordG2962 saidG3004 to him, “GoG4198, for 7he is a chosenG1589 8instrumentG4632 of MineG1473, to bearG941 My nameG3686 beforeG1799 9the GentilesG1484 and 10kingsG935 and the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474; 16for 11I will showG5263 him howG3745 muchG3745 he mustG1163 sufferG3958 inG5228 behalfG5228 of My nameG3686.” 17SoG3704 AnaniasG367 departedG565 and enteredG1525 the houseG3614, and after 12layingG2007 his handsG5495 on him saidG3004, “13BrotherG80 SaulG4549, the LordG2962 JesusG2424, who appearedG3708 to you on the roadG3598 by whichG3739 you were comingG2064, has sentG649 me soG3704 thatG3704 you may regainG308 your sightG308 and be 14filledG4092 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.” 18And immediatelyG2112 something likeG5613 fish scalesG3013 fellG634 from his eyesG3788, and he regainedG308 his sightG308, and he gotG450 upG450 and was baptizedG907; 19and he tookG2983 foodG5160 and was strengthenedG1765.

NowG1161 15for severalG5100 daysG2250 he was with 16the disciplesG3101 who were in DamascusG1154, 20and immediatelyG2112 he began to proclaimG2784 JesusG2424 17in the synagoguesG4864, 18sayingG3754, “He is 19the SonG5207 of GodG2316.” 21AllG3956 thoseG3588 hearingG191 him continued to be amazedG1839, and were sayingG3004, “Is thisG3778 not the one who in JerusalemG2419 20destroyedG4199 thoseG3588 who 21calledG1941 onG1941 thisG3778 nameG3686, and had comeG2064 hereG5602 for the purposeG2443 of bringingG71 them boundG1210 beforeG1909 the chiefG749 priestsG749?”
