* And the Lord said unto him , Arise (5631 ), and go (5676 ) into the street which is called (5746 ) Straight , and enquire (5657 ) in the house of Judas for one called Saul , of Tarsus : for , behold (5628 ), he prayeth (5736 ), * And hath seen (5627 ) in a vision a man named Ananias coming in (5631 ), and putting his hand on (5631 ) him , that he might receive his sight (5661 ). * Then Ananias answered (5662 ), Lord , I have heard (5754 ) by many of this man , how much evil he hath done (5656 ) to thy saints at Jerusalem : * And here he hath (5719 ) authority from the chief priests to bind (5658 ) all that call (5734 ) on thy name . * But the Lord said (5627 ) unto him , Go thy way (5737 ): for he is (5748 ) a chosen vessel unto me , to bear (5658 ) my name before the Gentiles , and kings , and the children of Israel : * For I will shew (5692 ) him how great things he must (5748 ) suffer (5629 ) for my names sake . * And Ananias went his way (5627 ), and entered (5627 ) into the house ; and putting (5631 ) his hands on him said (5627 ), Brother Saul , the Lord , even Jesus , that appeared (5685 ) unto thee in the way as thou camest (5711 ), hath sent (5758 ) me , that thou mightest receive thy sight (5661 ), and be filled with (5686 ) the Holy Ghost . * And immediately there fell (5627 ) from his eyes as it had been scales : and he received sight (5656 ) forthwith , and arose (5631 ), and was baptized (5681 ). * And when he had received (5631 ) meat , he was strengthened (5656 ). Then was (5633 ) Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus . * And straightway he preached (5707 ) Christ in the synagogues , that he is (5748 ) the Son of God . * But all that heard (5723 ) him were amazed (5710 ), and said (5707 ); Is (5748 ) not this he that destroyed (5660 ) them which called on (5734 ) this name in Jerusalem , and came (5715 ) hither for that intent , that he might bring (5632 ) them bound (5772 ) unto the chief priests ? * But Saul increased the more in strength (5712 ), and confounded (5707 ) the Jews which dwelt (5723 ) at Damascus , proving (5723 ) that this is (5748 ) very Christ . * And after that many days were fulfilled (5712 ), the Jews took counsel (5668 ) to kill (5629 ) him : * But their laying await was known (5681 ) of Saul . And they watched (5707 ) the gates day and night to kill (5661 ) him . * Then the disciples took (5631 ) him by night , and let him down (5656 ) (5660 ) by the wall in a basket . * And when Saul was come (5637 ) to Jerusalem , he assayed (5711 ) to join himself (5745 ) to the disciples : but they were all afraid (5711 ) of him , and believed (5723 ) not that he was (5748 ) a disciple . * But Barnabas took (5637 ) him , and brought (5627 ) him to the apostles , and declared (5662 ) unto them how he had seen (5627 ) the Lord in the way , and that he had spoken (5656 ) to him , and how he had preached boldly (5662 ) at Damascus in the name of Jesus .
