--Acts of the Apostles-- And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: (9:3) And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? (9:4) And 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. (9:5) And 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. (9:6) And 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. (9:17) And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. (9:18) |
