9. And he was unable to see for three days, and he did not eat or drink.
10. Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” And he said, “Behold, here I am, Lord!”
11. And the Lord said to him, “Get up, go to the street called ‘Straight’ and in the house of Judas look for a man named Saul from Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
12. and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in and placing hands on him so that he may regain his sight.”
13. But Ananias replied, “Lord, I have heard from many people about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem,
14. and here he has authority from the chief priests to tie up all who call upon your name!”
15. But the Lord said to him, “Go, because this man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel.
16. For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.”
