Acts 9:13-20
9:13 But Ananias replied,
“Lord, I have heard from many people
about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem,
9:14 and here he has authority from the chief priests to imprison
all who call on your name!”
9:15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, because this man is my chosen instrument
to carry my name before Gentiles and kings and the people of Israel.
9:16 For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.”
9:17 So Ananias departed and entered the house, placed
his hands on Saul
and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came here,
has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
9:18 Immediately
something like scales
fell from his eyes, and he could see again. He
got up and was baptized,
9:19 and after taking some food, his strength returned.
For several days he was with the disciples in Damascus,
9:20 and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “This man is the Son of God.”
