7. The men traveling with Saul stood there. They weren't able to speak. They had heard the sound. But they didn't see anyone.

8. Saul got 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. He didn't eat or drink anything.

10. In Damascus there was a believer named Ananias. The Lord called out to him in a vision. "Ananias!" he said. "Yes, Lord," he answered.

11. The Lord told him, "Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street. Ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul. He is praying.

12. In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias. The man has come and placed his hands on him. Now he will be able to see again."

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.
