Acts 9:10-16

New King James Version

Ananias Baptizes Saul

¹⁰ Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus ^(A)named Ananias; and to him the Lord said in a vision, “Ananias.”

And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”

¹¹ So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul ^(B)of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying. ¹² And in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight.”

¹³ Then Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, ^(C)how much ^[a]harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all ^(D)who call on Your name.”

¹⁵ But the Lord said to him, “Go, for ^(E)he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before ^(F)Gentiles, ^(G)kings, and the ^(H)children^[b] of Israel. ¹⁶ For ^(I)I will show him how many things he must suffer for My ^(J)name’s sake.”
