Acts 9:13–21

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

¹⁴And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that invoke thy name.

¹⁵And the Lord said to him: Go thy way: for this man is to me a vessel of election, to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel.

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

¹⁷And Ananias went his way and entered into the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me, he that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest, that thou mayest receive thy sight and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

¹⁸And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales: and he received his sight. And rising up, he was baptized.

¹⁹And when he had taken meat, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples that were at Damascus, for some days.

²⁰And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the son of God.

²¹And all that heard him were astonished and said: Is not this he who persecuted in Jerusalem those that called upon this name and came hither for that intent, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests?
