Open this scene in the reader →10There was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”
11And the Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and in the house of Judas look for a man named Saul, from Tarsus, for behold, he is praying.”
12and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.
13But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.”
14And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.
15But the Lord said to him, “Go, because this man is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel,”
16For I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.
