And the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting: it is hard for you to kick against the goads. 6 And trembling and astonished, he said, Lord, what do you want me to do?

And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. 11 And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he is praying, 12 And has seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight. 13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints in Jerusalem: 14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name. 15 But the Lord said to him, Go your way: for he is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: 16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake. 17 And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit. 18 And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight at once, and he arose and was baptized. 19 And when he had received food, he was strengthened.
