ng no one. (8)And Saul arose from the
earth; and his eyes being opened, he saw nothing; and leading him by
the hand, they brought him into Damascus. (9)And he was three days
without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

(10)And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and
to him the Lord said, in a vision, Ananias! And he said, Behold, I am
here, Lord. (11)And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the
street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for
one called Saul of Tarsus. For, behold, he prays; (12)and in a vision
he saw a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him,
