Acts 9:1-9

1 Meanwhile,

Saul was uttering threats with

every breath and was eager to kill the Lords
followers. So he went to the high priest. 2 He
requested letters addressed to the
synagogues in Damascus, asking for their
cooperation in the arrest of any followers of
the Way he found there. He wanted to bring
themboth men and womenback to
Jerusalem in chains.

Acts 9:3-5
3 As

he was approaching Damascus on

this mission, a light from heaven
suddenly shone down around
him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard
a voice saying to him, Saul! Saul!
Why are you persecuting me?
5 Who are you, lord? Saul asked.
And the voice replied, I am Jesus, the
one you are persecuting!

Acts 9:6-7
6 Now

get up and go into the

city, and you will be told what
7
you must do. The men with
Saul stood speechless, for they
heard the sound of someones
voice but saw no one!

Acts 9:8-9
8 Saul

picked himself up off the

ground, but when he opened his
eyes he was blind. So his
companions led him by the hand
to Damascus. 9 He remained there
blind for three days and did not
eat or drink.

Acts 9:15-22
15 But

the Lord said, Go, for Saul is my chosen

instrument to take my message to the Gentiles
and to kings, as well as to the people of
Israel. 16 And I will show him how much he must
suffer for my names sake. 17 So Ananias went
and found Saul. He laid his hands on him and
said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared
to you on the road, has sent me so that you might
regain your sight and be filled with the Holy
Spirit.

Acts 9:18-20
18 Instantly

something like scales fell from

Sauls eyes, and he regained his sight.
Then he got up and was
baptized. 19 Afterward he ate some food
and regained his strength. Saul stayed
with the believers in Damascus for a few
days. 20 And immediately he began
preaching about Jesus in the synagogues,
saying, He is indeed the Son of God!

Acts 9:21-22
21 All

who heard him were amazed. Isnt this

the same man who caused such devastation
among Jesus followers in Jerusalem? they
asked. And didnt he come here to arrest
them and take them in chains to the leading
priests? 22 Sauls preaching became more
and more powerful, and the Jews in
Damascus couldnt refute his proofs that
Jesus was indeed the Messiah.
