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.”
17 So Ananias departed and entered into the house, and placing his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18 And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight and got up and was baptized,
19 and after taking food, he regained his strength. And he was with the disciples in Damascus several days.
