4. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul! Why do you persecute me?”
5. “Who are you, Lord?” he asked. “I am Jesus, whom you persecute,” the voice said.
6. “But get up and go into the city, where you will be told what you must do.”
7. The men who were travelling with Saul had stopped, not saying a word; they heard the voice but could not see anyone.
8. Saul got up from the ground and opened his eyes, but could not see a thing. So they took him by the hand and led him into Damascus.
9. For three days he was not able to see, and during that time he did not eat or drink anything.
10. There was a believer in Damascus named Ananias. He had a vision, in which the Lord said to him, “Ananias!”“Here I am, Lord,” he answered.
11. The Lord said to him, “Get ready and go to Straight Street, and at the house of Judas ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul. He is praying,
12. and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come in and place his hands on him so that he might see again.”
