And there was a certaine disciple at Damascus, named Ananias, and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

And the Lord said vnto him, Arise, and goe into the street, which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Iudas, for one called Saul of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth,

And hath seene in a vision a man named Ananias, comming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receiue his sight.

Then Ananias answered, Lord, I haue heard by many of this man, how much euill hee hath done to thy Saints at Hierusalem:

And here he hath authoritic from the chiefe Priests, to binde all that call on thy Name.

But the Lord said vnto him, Goe thy way: for hee is a chosen vessell vnto me, to beare my Name before the Gentiles, and Kings, and the children of Israel.

For I will shew him how great things hee must suffer for my Names sake.

And Ananias went his way, and entred into the house, and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord (euen Iesus that appeared vnto thee in the way as thou camest) hath sent me, that thou mightest receiue thy sight, and be filled with the holy Ghost.

And immediatly there fell from his eyes as it had bene scales, and he receiued sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

And when hee had receiued meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certaine dayes with the disciples which were at Damascus.
