Acts 9:1-22 : King James Version

9 1And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. 3And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 4And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 6And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. 7And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. 8And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. 9And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
10And there was a
certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the
Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
11And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the
street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas
for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, 12And
hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his
hand on him, that he might receive his sight. 13Then
Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much
evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: 14And here
he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on
thy name. 15But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for
he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles,
and kings, and the children of Israel: 16For I will shew
him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. 17And
Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his
hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared
unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou
mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been
scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was
baptized. 19And when he had received meat, he was
strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which
were at Damascus. 20And straightway he preached Christ in
the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. 21But all that
heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them
which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that
intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
22But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the
Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
