Acts:9:1-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Saul ,
yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord ,
went unto the high priest ,
*
And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues ,
that if he found any of this way ,
whether they were men or women ,
he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem .
*
And as he journeyed ,
he came near Damascus :
and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven :
*
And he fell to the earth ,
and heard a voice saying unto him ,
Saul ,
Saul ,
why persecutest thou me ?
*
And he said ,
Who art thou ,
Lord ?
And the Lord said ,
I am Jesus whom thou persecutest :
it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks .
*
And he trembling and astonished said ,
Lord ,
what wilt thou have me to do ?
And the Lord said unto him ,
Arise ,
and go into the city ,
and it shall be told thee what thou must do .
*
And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless ,
hearing a voice ,
but seeing no man .
*
And Saul arose from the earth ;
and when his eyes were opened ,
he saw no man :
but they led him by the hand ,
and brought him into Damascus .
*
And he was three days without sight ,
and neither did eat nor drink .
*
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 .
*
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 ,
*
And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in ,
and putting his hand on him ,
that he might receive his sight .
*
Then Ananias answered ,
Lord ,
I have heard by many of this man ,
how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem :
*
And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name .
