11. The Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight Street. Find the house of Judas. Ask for a man named Saul from the city of Tarsus. He is there now, praying.
12. Saul has seen a vision. In it a man named Ananias comes to him and lays his hands on him. Then he sees again.”
13. But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man and the terrible things he did to your people in Jerusalem.
14. Now he has come here to Damascus. The leading priests have given him the power to arrest everyone who worships you.”
15. But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! I have chosen Saul for an important work. He must tell about me to non-Jews, to kings, and to the people of Israel.
16. I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.”
17. So Ananias went to the house of Judas. He laid his hands on Saul and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus sent me. He is the one you saw on the road on your way here. He sent me so that you can see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
