1 (7:1) BUT Saul, yet breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the chief priest
2 and asked of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of that way, he might bring them bound, men and women, to Jerusalem.
3 And he was going and had come nigh to Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven,
4 and falling on the earth he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, Why do you persecute me?
5 And he said, Who are you, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom you persecute.
6 But arise and enter into the city, and it shall be told you what you must do.
7 And the men travelling with him stood amazed, hearing indeed the voice, but beholding no one.
8 And Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes being opened he saw nothing; and leading him by the hand they conducted him to Damascus.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither eat nor drank.
10 (7:2) And there was a certain disciple at Damascus by the name of 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 called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for [a man] by the name of Saul of Tarsus; for behold, he prays,
12 and has seen a man by the name of Ananias coming and putting a hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
13 And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem;
14 and here he has power from the chief priests to bind all that call on your name.
15 But the Lord said to him, Go, for he is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name both before nations and kings, and the children of Israel;
16 for I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name.
