The Lord replied, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads." 6 Trembling and astonished, he said, "Lord, what do You want me to do?" The Lord said to him, "Get up and go into the city, and it will be told to you what you must do." 7 The men traveling with him stood speechless; they heard the sound but saw no one. 8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes, he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9 For three days he was without sight, and he neither ate nor drank. 10 There was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." He replied, "Here I am, Lord." 11 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. For he is praying. 12 In a vision, he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and placing his hands on him so that he might regain his sight." 13 Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem. 14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name. 15 But the Lord said to him, "Go, for this man is My chosen instrument to carry My name before Gentiles, kings, and the sons of Israel. 16 For I will show him how much he must suffer for My name’s sake."
