4. Falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”
5. “Who are You, Lord?” Saul said. “I am Yeshua—whom you are persecuting.
6. But get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
7. The men travelling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one.
8. Saul got up from the ground—but opening his eyes, he could see nothing. They led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
9. For three days he could not see, and he did not eat or drink.
10. Now there was a disciple named Ananias in Damascus. The Lord said to him, “Ananias.” He said, “Here I am, Lord.”
11. The Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street named Straight, and ask in the house of Judah for someone from Tarsus named Saul. For look, he is praying;
12. and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him, so that he might regain his sight.”
13. But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man—how much harm he has done to your kedoshim in Jerusalem.
14. And here he has authority from the ruling kohanim to tie up all who call on Your name.”
15. But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a choice instrument to carry My name before nations and kings and Bnei-Yisrael.
