The reply came, I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. <sup class="ww vnumVis">6</sup>But get up and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do. <sup class="ww vnumVis">7</sup>The men who were traveling with him stood speechless because they heard the voice but saw no one. <sup class="ww vnumVis">8</sup>Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. <sup class="ww vnumVis">9</sup>For three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank. <p><sup class="ww vnumVis">10</sup>Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. He answered, Here I am, Lord. <sup class="ww vnumVis">11</sup>The Lord said to him, Get up and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul. At this moment he is praying, <sup class="ww vnumVis">12</sup>and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight. <sup class="ww vnumVis">13</sup>But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints in Jerusalem; <sup class="ww vnumVis">14</sup>and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who invoke your name. <sup class="ww vnumVis">15</sup>But the Lord said to him, Go, for he is an instrument whom I have chosen to bring my name before Gentiles and kings and before the people of Israel; <sup class="ww vnumVis">16</sup>I myself will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name. <sup class="ww vnumVis">17</sup>So Ananias went and entered the house. He laid his hands on Saul and said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on your way here, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit. <sup class="ww vnumVis">18</sup>And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and his sight was restored. Then he got up and was baptized, <sup class="ww vnumVis">19</sup>and after taking some food, he regained his strength. For several days he was with the disciples in Damascus, <sup class="ww vnumVis">20</sup>and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, He is the Son of God. <sup class="ww vnumVis">21</sup>All who heard him were amazed and said, Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem among those who invoked this name? And has he not come here for the purpose of bringing them bound before the chief priests? <sup class="ww vnumVis">22</sup>Saul became increasingly more powerful and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Messiah. <p><sup class="ww vnumVis">23</sup>After some time had passed, the Jews plotted to kill him, <sup class="ww vnumVis">24</sup>but their plot became known to Saul. They were watching the gates day and night so that they might kill him; <sup class="ww vnumVis">25</sup>but his disciples took him by night and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket. <sup class="ww vnumVis">26</sup>When he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join the disciples; and they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple. <sup class="ww vnumVis">27</sup>But Barnabas took him, brought him to the apostles, and described for them how on the road he had seen the Lord, who had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus. <sup class="ww vnumVis">28</sup>So he went in and out among them in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. <sup class="ww vnumVis">29</sup>He spoke and argued with the Hellenists; but they were attempting to kill him. <sup class="ww vnumVis">30</sup>When the believers learned of it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus. <sup class="ww vnumVis">31</sup>Meanwhile the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and was built up. Living in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers. </p> </div> <div class="adj"> <table border="0" width="100%"><tr><td valign="top" align="right"><<</td><td valign="top" align="left"><form method="post" action="/?passage=Acts%209:1%E2%80%9331&version=nrsv" enctype="multipart/form-data"><input type="hidden" name="passage" value="Acts of the Apostles 8" /> <input type="submit" name="show passage_button" value="Acts of the Apostles 8" /> <input type="hidden" name="vnum" value="yes" /> <input type="hidden" name="fnote" value="yes" /> <input type="hidden" name="headings" value="no" /> <input type="hidden" name="adj" value="" /> <input type="hidden" name="version" value="nrsv" /> </form> </td><td valign="top" align="right"><form method="post" action="/?passage=Acts%209:1%E2%80%9331&version=nrsv" enctype="multipart/form-data"><input type="hidden" name="passage" value="Acts of the Apostles 9.32-43" /> <input type="submit" name="show passage_button" value="Acts of the Apostles 9.32-43" /> <input type="hidden" name="vnum" value="yes" /> <input type="hidden" name="fnote" value="yes" /> <input type="hidden" name="headings" value="no" /> <input type="hidden" name="adj" value="" /> <input type="hidden" name="version" value="nrsv" /> </form> </td><td valign="top" align="left">>></td></tr></table> </div> </div> <div class="copyright dmtog"> <hr /> <p class="dmtog"> <cite>New Revised Standard Version Bible</cite>, copyright © 1989 National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.
