Acts 9

¹But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

²and asked of him letters to Damascus unto the synagogues, that if he found any that were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

³And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus: and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven:

⁴and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

⁵And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:

⁶but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

⁷And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man.

⁸And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

⁹And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink.

¹⁰Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

¹¹And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth;

¹²and he hath seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.
