* But Saul , still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord , came to the high priest , * and petitioned for letters from him to the synagogues at Damascus ; that , if he found any of that way , whether they were men or women , he might bring them bound to Jerusalem . * And as he was proceedings on his journey , and was come near to Damascus , on a sudden , a light from heaven shone around him ; * and he fell to the ground , and heard a voice saying to him , * And he said , Who art thou , Lord ? And the Lord said , lont @Acts:9:6 " /> * And the men who traveled with him , stood astonished ; hearing , indeed , the voice , but seeing no one . * Then Saul arose from the earth ; and , though his eyes were open , he saw no man ; but they led him by the hand , and brought him to Damascus . * And he was three days without sight , and did neither eat nor drink . * Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus , whose name was Ananias ; and the Lord said to him in a vision , And he said , Behold , I am here , Lord . * And the Lord said to him , lont @Acts:9:12 " /> * Then Ananias answered , Lord , I have heard by many concerning this man , how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem ; * and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all that invoke thy name . * But the Lord said to him , lont @Acts:9:16 " /> * Then Ananias went , and entered into the house ; and laying his hands upon him , he said , Brother Saul , the Lord , even Jesus , who appeared to you on the way , as you came , has sent me ; that you might receive your sight , and be filled with the Holy Spirit . * And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales ; and he recovered his sight , and arose , and was immersed : * and having received food , he was strengthened , and for several days remained with the disciples at Damascus . * And straightway in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus , that he is the Son of God . * And all that heard him were astonished , and said , Is not this he who , in Jerusalem , spread desolation among them who called on his name ; and came hither on purpose to carry such bound to the chief priests ? * But Saul became stronger , and confounded the Jews that dwelt at Damascus , evincing that this is the Messiah . * And , after many days , the Jews conspired to kill him : * but their design was made known to Saul ; and they watched the gates , day and night , to murder him . * But the disciples took him by night , and let him down by the wall in a basket .
