Acts 9:16

Ananias Sent To Saul

¹⁵ But the Lord told him, "Go, because he's my chosen instrument to carry my name to unbelievers, to their kings, and to the descendants of Israel. ¹⁶ since I'm going to show him how much he must suffer for my name's sake." ¹⁷ So Ananias left and went to that house. He laid his hands on Saul and said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were traveling, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
