highlighted verses:Acts 9:1
And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples
of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2 And desired
of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this
way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3 And as he
journeyed, he came near Damascus:
and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4
And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul,
why persecutest thou me?
5 And he said,
Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:
it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6
And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be
told thee what thou must do.
7 And the
men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing
no man.
8 And Saul
arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but
they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 And he was
three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
10 And there
was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the
Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
11 And the
Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight,
and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for,
behold, he prayeth,
12 And hath
seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on
him, that he might receive his sight.
13 Then Ananias
answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath
done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 And here
he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
15
But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto
me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of
Israel:
16
For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
No "Alter Call" for Saul! If you're predestined it's "ZAP" you're mine!
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
