Acts 9:16

Ananias Sent To Saul

¹⁵ And the Lord said to him, Go: because he is a vessel of election to me, to bear my name both before the Gentiles, and kings, and sons of Israel: ¹⁶  for I will show him how many things it behooves him to suffer for my name's sake. ¹⁷ And Ananias departed, and came into the house: and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, Jesus, that appeared to you in the way in which thou didst come, hath sent me, that thou mayest look up, and he filled with the Holy Ghost.
