13. But Hananiah answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your holy ones at Jerusalem.
14. Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”
15. But the Lord said to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
16. For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
17. Hananiah departed and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18. Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was immersed.
19. He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
