Acts Of The Apostles 9:4-12 Common English Bible (CEB)

4. He fell to the ground and heard a voice asking him, "Saul, Saul, why are you harassing me?"

5. Saul asked, "Who are you, Lord?" "I am Jesus, whom you are harassing," came the reply.

6. "Now get up and enter the city. You will be told what you must do."

7. Those traveling with him stood there speechless; they heard the voice but saw no one.

8. After they picked Saul up from the ground, he opened his eyes but he couldn’t see. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.

9. For three days he was blind and neither ate nor drank anything.

10. In Damascus there was a certain disciple named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, "Ananias!" He answered, "Yes, Lord."

11. The Lord instructed him, "Go to Judas’ house on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul. He is praying.

12. In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias enter and put his hands on him to restore his sight."
