9:11And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

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.

Selected passage

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