¹⁰And I said: What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me: Arise and go to Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things that thou must do.

¹¹And whereas I did not see for the brightness of that light, being led by the hand by my companions, I came to Damascus,

¹²And one Ananias, a man according to the law, having testimony of all the Jews who dwelt there,

¹³Coming to me and standing by me, said to me: Brother Saul, look up. And I, the same hour, looked upon him.

¹⁴But he said: The God of our fathers hath preordained thee that thou shouldst know his will and see the Just One and shouldst hear the voice from his mouth.

¹⁵For thou shalt be his witness to all men of those things which thou hast seen and heard.

¹⁶And now why tarriest thou? Rise up and be baptized and wash away thy sins, invoking his name.

¹⁷And it came to pass, when I was come again to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance,

¹⁸And saw him saying unto me: Make haste and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: because they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.

¹⁹And I said: Lord, they know that I cast into prison and beat in every synagogue them that believed in thee.

²⁰And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I stood by and consented: and kept the garments of them that killed him.

²¹And he said to me: Go, for unto the Gentiles afar off will I send thee.
