    1The Conversion of Saul Meanwhile Saul, still breathing out threats to murder the Lord’s disciples, went to the high priest

    2and requested letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, either men or women, he could bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.

    3As he was going along, approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.

    4He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him,“Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”

    5So he said,“Who are you, Lord?” He replied,“I am Jesus whom you are persecuting!

    6But stand up and enter the city and you will be told what you must do.”

    7(Now the men who were traveling with him stood there speechless, because they heard the voice but saw no one.)

    8So Saul got up from the ground, but although his eyes were open, he could see nothing. Leading him by the hand, his companions brought him into Damascus.

    6As I was en route and near Damascus, about noon a very bright light from heaven suddenly flashed around me.

    7Then I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me,‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’

    8I answered,‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me,‘I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.’

    10Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision,“Ananias,” and he replied,“Here I am, Lord.”

    11Then the Lord told him,“Get up and go to the street called‘Straight,’ and at Judas’ house look for a man from Tarsus named Saul. For he is praying,

    12and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and place his hands on him so that he may see again.”

    13But Ananias replied,“Lord, I have heard from many people about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem,

    14and here he has authority from the chief priests to imprison all who call on your name!”

    15But the Lord said to him,“Go, because this man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before Gentiles and kings and the people of Israel.

    16For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.”

    17So Ananias departed and entered the house, placed his hands on Saul and said,“Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

    18Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized,
