Acts 9:11 — Acts 9:30

11 And the Lord said to him, Rise up and go to the lane called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas a man from Tarsus named Saul; for behold, he is praying;

12 And he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him so that he may receive his sight.

13 But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many concerning this man, how many evil things he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem;

14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon Your name.

15 But the Lord said to him, Go, for this man is a chosen vessel to Me, to bear My name before both the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel;

16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer on behalf of My name.

17 And Ananias went away and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him, he said, Saul, brother, the Lord has sent me — Jesus, who appeared to you on the road on which you were coming — so that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

18 And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight and rose up and was baptized.

19 And once he had taken food, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples in Damascus for some days.

20 And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, that this One is the Son of God.

21 And all who heard him were amazed and said, Is this not the one who ravaged those who call upon this name in Jerusalem and came here for this, that he might bring them bound before the chief priests?

22 But Saul was all the more empowered, and he confounded the Jews dwelling in Damascus by proving that this One is the Christ.

23 And as a considerable number of days were being fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to ado away with him;

24 But their plot was made known to Saul. And they also watched the gates closely, both day and night, so that they might do away with him.

25 But his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.

26 And when he arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; yet all feared him, not believing that he was a disciple.

27 But Barnabas took hold of him and bled him to the apostles, and he related to them how Saul had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.

28 And he was with them, going in and going out in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.

29 And he spoke and disputed with the Hellenists, but they attempted to do away with him.

30 But when the brothers realized it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him forth to Tarsus.
