44:009:013 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard
by many of this man,
how
much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
44:009:014 And here he hath authority from the chief
priests to bind all
that
call on thy name.
44:009:015 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way:
for he is a chosen
vessel
unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and
kings,
and the children of Israel:
44:009:016 For I will shew him how great things he
must suffer for my
name’s
sake.
44:009:017 And Ananias went his way, and entered into
the house; and
putting
his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even
Jesus,
that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest,
hath
sent
me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled
with
the Holy Ghost.
44:009:018 And immediately there fell from his eyes
as it had been
scales:
and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was
baptized.
44:009:019 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened.
Then was
Saul
certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
44:009:020 And straightway he preached Christ in the
synagogues, that he
is
the Son of God.
44:009:021 But all that heard him were amazed, and
said; Is not this he
that
destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem,
and
came hither for that intent, that he might bring them
bound
unto the chief priests?
44:009:022 But Saul increased the more in strength,
and confounded the
Jews
which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very
Christ.
44:009:023 And after that many days were fulfilled,
the Jews took counsel
to
kill him:
44:009:024 But their laying await was known of Saul.
And they watched the
gates
day and night to kill him.
44:009:025 Then the disciples took him by night, and
let him down by the
wall
in a basket.
44:009:026 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he
assayed to join
himself
to the disciples: but they were all afraid of
him, and
believed
not that he was a disciple.
44:009:027 But Barnabas took him, and brought him
to the apostles, and
declared
unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and
that
he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly
at
Damascus
in the name of Jesus.
44:009:028 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
44:009:029 And he spake boldly in the name of the
Lord Jesus, and
disputed
against the Grecians: but they went about to slay
him.
44:009:030 Which when the brethren knew, they brought
him down to
Caesarea,
and sent him forth to Tarsus.
