Acts 22:13

Paul
Sickness and healing

11 Because the brilliance of the light had blinded me, my companions led me by the hand into Damascus.

12 There a man named Ananias, a devout observer of the law who was highly regarded by all the Jews living there,

came and stood beside me. ‘Brother Saul,’ he said, ‘receive your sight.’ And at that moment I could see him.

14 Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear His voice.

15 You will be His witness to everyone of what you have seen and heard.
