Acts 9:12

Verse 12 of 43. The 9th of 28 chapters in Acts, in Acts.

8Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.

9He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.

10Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”

11The Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,

12and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.”

13But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.

14Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”

15But the Lord said to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.

16For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
