Acts 9:1-19:
"Meanwhile,
Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the
Lord's followers. So he went to the high priest. He requested letters
addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation in
the arrest of any followers of the Way he found there. He wanted to
bring them-both men and women-back to Jerusalem in chains.
As
he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven
suddenly shone down around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice
saying to him, "Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?"
"Who are you, lord?" Saul asked.
Ad
the voice replied, "I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting! Now get up
and go into the city; and you will be told what you must do."
The
men with Saul stood speechless, for they heard a sound of someone's
voice but saw no one! Saul picked himself up off the ground, but when he
opened his eyes his was blind. So his companions led him by the hand
to Damascus. He remained there blind for three days and did not eat or
drink.
Now there was a believer in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, calling, "Ananias!"
"Yes, Lord!" he replied.
The
Lord said, "Go over to Straight Street, to the house of Judas. When
you get there, ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul. He is praying to
me right now. I have shown him a vision of a man named Ananias coming
and laying hands on him so he can see again."
"But
Lord," exclaimed Ananias, "I've heard many people talk about the
terrible things this man has done to the believers in Jerusalem. And he
is authorized by the leading priests to arrest everyone who calls upon
your name."
But
the Lord said, "Go, for Saul is my chosen instrument to take my message
to the Gentiles and to the kings, as well as to the people of Israel.
And I will show him how much he must suffer for my name's sake."
So
Ananias went and found Saul. He laid his hands on him and said,
"Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road, has sent
me so that you might regain your sight and be filled with the Holy
Spirit. Instantly something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he
regained his sight. Then he got up and was baptized. Afterward he ate
some food and regained his strength."
