Acts 9:13-17 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

13. "Lord," Ananias answered, "I've heard many reports about this man. They say he has done great harm to God's people in Jerusalem.

14. Now he has come here to arrest all those who worship you. The chief priests have given him authority to do this."

15. But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! I have chosen this man to work for me. He will carry my name to those who aren't Jews and to their kings. He will bring my name to the people of Israel.

16. I will show him how much he must suffer for me."

17. Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. He placed his hands on Saul. "Brother Saul," he said, "you saw the Lord Jesus. He appeared to you on the road as you were coming here. He has sent me so that you will be able to see again. You will be filled with the Holy Spirit."
