Acts 9:10-22

Acts 9:10-22

10
In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Here I am, Lord,” he answered.
11
“Get up!” the Lord told him. “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
12
In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.”
13
But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man and all the harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.
14
And now he is here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name.”
15
“Go!” said the Lord. “This man is My chosen instrument to carry My name before the Gentiles and their kings, and before the people of Israel.
16
I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.”
17
So Ananias went to the house, and when he arrived, he placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18
At that instant, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. He got up and was baptized,
19
and after taking some food, he regained his strength. And he spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.
20
Saul promptly began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, declaring, “He is the Son of God.”
21
All who heard him were astounded and asked, “Isn’t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”
22
But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
