Ananias. And he said, Behold,
I am here, Lord. And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street
which is called Straight and enquire in the house of Judas for one called
Saul, of Tarsus, for behold, he prayeth, And hath seen in a vision a man
named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, that he might receive
his sight. Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man,
how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem. And here he has
authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name. But
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. For I will shew him how great things
he must suffer.(experience).for
my name's sake. And Ananias went his way and entered into the house and
putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Emmanuel, that
appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that you might
receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there
fell from his eyes as it had been scales. And he received sight forthwith
and arose and was baptized. And when he had received meat.(food,
not necessarily animal food), he was
strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were
at Damascus. And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that
he is the Son of God."
