Deeds (Act) of Apostles 9:10-21

¹⁰And a disciple, Ananias by name, was at Damascus. And the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Lo! I, Lord.

¹¹And the Lord said to him, Rise thou, and go into a street that is called Rectus; and seek, in the house of Judas, Saul by name, of Tarsus. For lo! he prayeth;

¹²and he saw a man, Ananias by name, entering and laying on him hands, that he receive sight (or so that he can see again).

¹³And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard of many of this man, how great evil he did to thy saints in Jerusalem; (And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard about this man from many people, what great evil he did to God’s people in Jerusalem;)

¹⁴and this hath power of the princes of (the) priests, to bind all men that call thy name to help. (and he hath received authority from the high priests, to bind up, or to take captive, all who call on thy name for help.)

¹⁵And the Lord said to him, Go thou, for this is to me a vessel of choosing, that he bear my name before heathen men, and kings, and before the sons of Israel. (And the Lord said to him, Go, for he is a vessel that I have chosen, to bring my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and before the Israelites.)

¹⁶For I shall show to him, how great things it behooveth him to suffer for my name.

¹⁷And Ananias went, and entered into the house; and laid on him his hands, and said, Saul brother, the Lord Jesus sent me, that appeared to thee in the way, in which thou camest, that thou see, and be full-filled with the Holy Ghost, (or Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus sent me, who appeared to thee on the way, in which thou camest, so that thou may see again, and be filled with the Holy Spirit).

¹⁸And anon as the scales felled from his eyes (or And at once as the scales fell from his eyes), he received (his) sight (again). And he (a)rose, and was baptized.

¹⁹And when he had taken meat, he was comforted, (or And when he had eaten some food, he was strengthened). And he was by some days with the disciples, that were at (or in) Damascus.

²⁰And anon, he entered into the synagogues, (or And at once, he went to the synagogues), and preached (about) the Lord Jesus, for this is the Son of God.

²¹And all men that heard him, wondered, and said, Whether this is not he that impugned in Jerusalem them that called to help this name? and hither he came for this thing or and hither for this thing he came, that he should lead them bound (back) to the princes of (the) priests? (And everyone who heard him, wondered, and said, Is this not he who attacked those in Jerusalem who called on this name for help? and did he not come here for this purpose, that he would lead such believers bound and captive back to the high priests?)
