12 “Ananias, a devout man according to the law, who was well spoken of by all the Jews living there,
13 came and stood by me, and said, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight.’ And at that moment I looked up at him.
14 “Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will and to see the Just One and to hear His voice,
15 for you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard.
16 And now why do you wait? Rise, be baptized and wash away your sins, and call on the name of the Lord.’

18 and saw Him saying to me, ‘Hurry! Get out of Jerusalem immediately, for they will not receive your testimony concerning Me.’
