9And for threeG5140 daysG2250 he was withoutG3361 sightG991, and neitherG3756 ateG2068 norG3761 drankG4095.

10NowG1161 there was a discipleG3101 in 1DamascusG1154 namedG3686 2AnaniasG367; and the LordG2962 saidG3004 to him in 3a visionG3705, “AnaniasG367.” And he saidG3004, “HereG2400 I am, LordG2962.” 11And the LordG2962 said to him, “GetG450 upG450 and goG4198 to the streetG4505 calledG2564 StraightG2117, and inquireG2212 at the houseG3614 of JudasG2455 for a manG5018 fromG5018 4TarsusG5018 namedG3686 SaulG4569, for he is prayingG4336, 12and he has seenG3708 5in a visionG3705 a manG435 namedG3686 AnaniasG367 comeG1525 inG1525 and 6layG2007 his handsG5495 onG2007 him, soG3704 thatG3704 he might regainG308 his sightG308.” 13But AnaniasG367 answeredG611, “LordG2962, I have heardG191 from manyG4183 peopleG4183 aboutG4012 thisG3778 manG435, 7howG3745 muchG3745 harmG2556 he didG4160 to 8Your 9saintsG40 in JerusalemG2419; 14and hereG5602 he 10hasG2192 authorityG1849 from the chiefG749 priestsG749 to 11arrestG1210 allG3956 who 12callG1941 onG1941 Your nameG3686.” 15But the LordG2962 saidG3004 to him, “GoG4198, for 13he is a chosenG1589 14instrumentG4632 of MineG1473, to bearG941 My nameG3686 beforeG1799 15the GentilesG1484 and 16kingsG935 and the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474; 16for 17I will showG5263 him howG3745 muchG3745 he mustG1163 sufferG3958 inG5228 behalfG5228 of My nameG3686.” 17SoG3704 AnaniasG367 departedG565 and enteredG1525 the houseG3614, and after 18layingG2007 his handsG5495 on him saidG3004, “19BrotherG80 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 20filledG4092 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;
