Acts 9:10

AnaniasJesusDamascus
Faith

8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see a thing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.

9 For three days he was without sight, and he did not eat or drink anything.

In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Here I am, Lord,” he answered.

11 “Get up!” the Lord told him. “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.

12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.”
