8. Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9. He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
10. Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Hananiah. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Hananiah!”He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”
11. The Lord said to him, “Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
12. and in a vision he has seen a man named Hananiah coming in and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.”
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.
