Acts 9:16-24

¹⁶For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

¹⁷And Ananias went, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord (even Jesus that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest) hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

¹⁸And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

¹⁹And when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples who were at Damascus.

²⁰And immediately he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

²¹But all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed them who called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?

²²But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.

²³And after many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him.

²⁴But their laying in wait, was known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
