Acts 9:4-12

⁴Immediately he fell down to the ground. Then he heard the voice of the Lord say to him, “Saul, Saul, ◄stop causing me to suffer!/why are you causing me to suffer?► RHQ”

⁵Saul asked him, “Lord, who are you?” He replied, “I am Jesus, and you (sg) are causing me to suffer by hurting my followers!

⁶Now instead of continuing to do that, stand up and go into the city! Someone there will tell you (sg) what I want you to do.”

⁷The men who were traveling with Saul became so frightened that they could not say anything. They just stood there. They only heard the sound when the Lord spoke, but they did not see anyone.

⁸Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see anything. So the men with him took him by the hand and led him into Damascus.

⁹For the next three days Saul could not see anything, and he did not eat or drink anything.

¹⁰In Damascus there was a Jew named Ananias who believed in Jesus. While Ananias was seeing a vision, the Lord Jesus said to him, “Ananias!” He replied, “Lord, I am listening.”

¹¹The Lord Jesus told him, “Go to Straight Street to the house that belongs to Judas. Ask someone there if you(sg) can talk to a man named Saul from Tarsus city, because, surprisingly, at this moment he is praying to me.

¹²Saul has seen a vision in which a man named Ananias entered the house where he was staying and put his hands on him in order that he might see again.”
