Acts 9:12-24

¹²(And he sawe in a vision a man named Ananias comming in to him, and putting his hands on him, that he might receiue his sight.)

¹³Then Ananias answered, Lord, I haue heard by many of this man, howe much euill hee hath done to thy saints at Hierusalem.

¹⁴Moreouer here hee hath authoritie of the hie Priestes, to binde all that call on thy Name.

¹⁵Then the Lord said vnto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessell vnto me, to beare my Name before the Gentiles, and Kings, and the children of Israel.

¹⁶For I will shewe him, howe many things he must suffer for my Names sake.

¹⁷Then Ananias went his way, and entred into that house, and put his hands on him, and sayd, Brother Saul, the Lord hath sent me (euen Iesus that appeared vnto thee in the way as thou camest) that thou mightest receiue thy sight, and be filled with the holy Ghost.

¹⁸And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had bene scales, and suddenly he receiued sight, and arose, and was baptized,

¹⁹And receiued meate, and was strengthened. So was Saul certaine dayes with the disciples which were at Damascus.

²⁰And straightway hee preached Christ in the Synagogues, that he was that Sonne of God,

²¹So that all that heard him, were amased, and sayde, Is not this hee, that made hauocke of them which called on this Name in Hierusalem, and came hither for that intent, that hee should bring them bound vnto the hie Priests?

²²But Saul encreased the more in strength, and confounded the Iewes which dwelt at Damascus, confirming, that this was that Christ.

²³And after that many dayes were fulfilled, the Iewes tooke counsell together, to kill him,

²⁴But their laying awayte was knowen of Saul: nowe they watched the gates day and night, that they might kill him.
