And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝟵:𝟭𝟭 𝗞𝗝𝗩
And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝟵:𝟭𝟮 𝗞𝗝𝗩
And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝟵:𝟭𝟯 𝗞𝗝𝗩
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝟵:𝟭𝟰 𝗞𝗝𝗩
And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝟵:𝟭𝟱 𝗞𝗝𝗩
But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝟵:𝟭𝟲 𝗞𝗝𝗩
For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝟵:𝟭𝟳 𝗞𝗝𝗩
And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝟵:𝟭𝟴 𝗞𝗝𝗩
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝟵:𝟭𝟵 𝗞𝗝𝗩
And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝟵:𝟮𝟬 𝗞𝗝𝗩
And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝟵:𝟮𝟭 𝗞𝗝𝗩
But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝟵:𝟮𝟮 𝗞𝗝𝗩
But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝟵:𝟮𝟲 𝗞𝗝𝗩
"And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝟵:𝟮𝟳 𝗞𝗝𝗩
"But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus." —
