17. So Ananias departed and entered the house, placed his hands on Saul and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18. Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized,
19. and after taking some food, his strength returned.For several days he was with the disciples in Damascus,
20. and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “This man is the Son of God.”
21. All who heard him were amazed and were saying, “Is this not the man who in Jerusalem was ravaging those who call on this name, and who had come here to bring them as prisoners to the chief priests?”
22. But Saul became more and more capable, and was causing consternation among the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
