Acts 9:1-14

Acts 9:1-14

[1] And  Saul,  yet  breathing out  threatenings  and  slaughter  against  the disciples  of the Lord,  went  unto the high priest,  [2] And desired  of  him  letters  to  Damascus  to  the synagogues,  that  if  he found  any  of this way,  whether  men  or  women,  he might bring them  bound  unto  Jerusalem.  [3] And  as he  journeyed,  he came  near  Damascus:  suddenly  there shined round about  him  a light  heaven:  [4] And  he fell  to  the earth,  and heard  a voice  saying  unto him,  Saul,  why  persecutest thou  [5] And  he said,  Who  Lord?  And  the Lord  said,  am  Jesus  whom  thou  persecutest:  it is hard  to kick  against  the pricks.  [6] and  what  to do?  And  Arise,  and  go  into  the city,  and  it shall be told  what  must  do.  [7] And  the men  which  journeyed  with him  stood  speechless,  hearing  a voice,  but  seeing  no man.  [8] And  Saul  arose  from  the earth;  and  when his  eyes  were opened,  he saw  no man:  but  him  by the hand,  and brought  him into  Damascus.  [9] And  three  days  without  sight,  and  neither  did eat  nor  drink.  [10] And  a certain  disciple  at  Damascus,  named  Ananias;  and  to  him  said  the Lord  in  a vision,  Ananias.  And  he said,  Behold,  am here, Lord.  [11] And  the Lord  said unto  him,  Arise,  and go  into  the street  which  is called  Straight,  and  enquire  in  the house  of Judas  for one called  Saul,  of Tarsus:  for,  behold,  he prayeth,  [12] And  in  a vision  a man  named  Ananias  coming in,  and  his hand  on  him,  that  he might receive his sight.  [13] Then  Ananias  answered,  Lord,  I have heard  by  many  of  man,  how much  evil  he hath done  saints  at  Jerusalem:  [14] And  here  he hath  authority  from  the chief priests  to bind  all  that call  name.
