4 and he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom you persecute:
6 but arise, and go into the city, and you shall be told what you must do.
7 And the men who traveled with him, stood astonished; hearing, indeed, the voice, but seeing no one.
8 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.
9 And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, whose name was Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias! And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
11 And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus, whose name is Saul; for, behold, he is praying to me;
12 and he has seen in a vision, a man whose name is Ananias, coming in and laying his hand upon him, that he might recover his sight.
13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many concerning this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem;
14 and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all that invoke thy name.
15 But the Lord said to him, Go your way; for this man is to me a chosen vessel, to bear my name before nations, and kings, and the children of Israel:
16 for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name.
17 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.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales; and he recovered his sight, and arose, and was immersed:
19 and having received food, he was strengthened, and for several days remained with the disciples at Damascus.
