Selected passage

9:12And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

9:13Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

9:14And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.

9:15But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

9:16For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.

9:17And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

9:18And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

9:19And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

9:20And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

9:22But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
