He will be the one who will tell the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel about Me. In Damascus, he has the authority from the chief priests to arrest everyone who believes in You.' Ananias was nervous, but the Lord said to him, 'Go on your way.

Ananias asked the Lord, 'Lord, I have heard from many people about all the evil he has done to your disciples in Jerusalem. Ananias was a little concerned about this man named Saul of Tarsus. He was praying there in the house and had seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming into the house, putting his hands on him that he might regain his sight. He said, 'Ananias.' Ananias said, 'Here I am, Lord.' Then the Lord went on to tell Ananias to go to the street called Straight and go to the house of Judas and ask for Saul of Tarsus. He was a devout man and had a good reputation among the Jews in Damascus (Acts 23:12). There was a man in Damascus named Ananias.He did not drink anything or eat anything. In fact, Saul could not see for three days and nights. The men who were with him had to take Saul by the hand and lead him into Damascus because he could not see. He could see nothing! He was blind! The glory of the light had blinded him (Acts 23:11). Saul got up from the ground and opened his eyes. They could hear the voice, but could not see anyone. The men who were traveling with Saul stood by without saying a word.He said, 'Lord, what do you want me to do?' The Lord said to him, 'Get up and go into the city and you will be told what you must do.' As Saul traveled close to Damascus with the letters from the high priest, suddenly a light from heaven shone all around him! Saul fell to the ground and heard a voice saying, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?' Saul knew it was the Lord's voice because he asked, 'Who are you, Lord?' The Lord said, 'I am Jesus whom you persecute.' Saul was amazed and trembled. But, that was not what the Lord wanted.He could arrest them and put them in prison in Jerusalem. It did not matter if the Christians were men or women. The letters were addressed to the synagogues in Damascus and gave Saul permission to arrest any Christians that he found and he could take them back to Jerusalem with him. One day, Saul went to the high priest and requested letters from him.He did not know he was doing the wrong thing. But, in all that Saul did, he did with a pure heart, believing that he was doing the right thing. He continued to search out Christians and, when he found them, he not only threatened the followers of Christ, he sometimes killed them. As the church was growing and the persecutions of Christians were continuing, Saul was in the middle of everything.All the things Saul did, he always did with a clear conscience (Acts 23:1). Saul agreed with the Jews that Stephen should have been stoned. He was a young man when the Jews were stoning Stephen and they laid their coats at his feet.
