Acts 9:8-16 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

8. And Sha’ul arose from the ground, but when his eyes were opened he saw no one. And leading him by the hand they brought him into Damascus.

9. And he was three days without sight, and did not eat nor drink.

10. And there was at Damascus a certain taught one, by name Ḥananyah. And the Master said unto him in a vision, “Ḥananyah!” And he said, “Here I am, Master.”

11. And the Master said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and seek in the house of Yehuḏah for one called Sha’ul of Tarsos, for look, he is praying,

12. and has seen in a vision a man named Ḥananyah coming in and laying his hand on him, so as to see again.”

13. And Ḥananyah answered, “Master, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Your set-apart ones in Yerushalayim,

14. and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all those calling on Your Name.”

15. But the Master said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My Name before nations, sovereigns, and the children of Yisra’ĕl.

16. “For I shall show him how much he has to suffer for My Name.”
