Acts 9:14

Fear

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

13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man and all the harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.

And now he is here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name.”

15 “Go!” said the Lord. “This man is My chosen instrument to carry My name before the Gentiles and their kings, and before the people of Israel.

16 I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.”
