* And Saul , yet breathing out (5723 ) threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord , went (5631 ) unto the high priest , * And desired (5668 ) of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues , that if he found (5632 ) any of this way , whether they were (5752 ) men or women , he might bring them (5632 ) bound (5772 ) unto Jerusalem . * And as he journeyed (5738 ), he came (5633 ) near (5721 ) Damascus : and suddenly there shined round about (5656 ) him a light from heaven : * And he fell (5631 ) to the earth , and heard (5656 ) a voice saying (5723 ) unto him , Saul , Saul , why persecutest thou (5719 ) me ? * And he said (5627 ), Who art thou (5748 ), Lord ? And the Lord said (5627 ), I am (5748 ) Jesus whom thou persecutest (5719 ): it is hard for thee to kick (5721 ) against the pricks . * And he trembling (5723 ) and astonished (5723 ) said (5627 ), Lord , what wilt thou have (5719 ) me to do (5658 )? And the Lord said unto him , Arise (5628 ), and go (5628 ) into the city , and it shall be told (5701 ) thee what thou must (5748 ) do (5721 ). * And the men which journeyed (5723 ) with him stood (5715 ) speechless , hearing (5723 ) a voice , but seeing (5723 ) no man . * And Saul arose (5681 ) from the earth ; and when his eyes were opened (5772 ), he saw (5707 ) no man : but they led him by the hand (5723 ), and brought (5627 ) him into Damascus . * And he was (5713 ) three days without sight (5723 ), and neither did eat (5627 ) nor drink (5627 ). * And there was (5713 ) a certain disciple at Damascus , named Ananias ; and to him said (5627 ) the Lord in a vision , Ananias . And he said (5627 ), Behold (5628 ), I am here , Lord . * 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 .
