Obrátenie Saula
9 Saula ešte vždy spaľovala vražedná nenávisť a túžba vyhubiť všetkých kresťanov. Vyhľadal v Jeruzaleme veľkňaza
2 a vyžiadal si poverovacie listiny pre židovské synagógy v Damasku. Ak by tam našiel stúpencov tohto nového učenia, mužov alebo aj ženy, chcel ich zajať a spútaných priviesť do Jeruzalema.
3 Vybral sa teda do Damasku, a keď už bol neďaleko, obklopilo ho zrazu oslepujúce svetlo z neba.
4 Od preľaknutia spadol na zem a počul, ako mu nejaký hlas hovorí: Saul, Saul, prečo ma prenasleduješ?"
5 Saul sa spýtal: Kto si, Pane?" Hlas odpovedal: Som Ježiš, ktorého prenasleduješ.
6 Teraz vstaň, choď do mesta a čakaj na moje ďalšie rozkazy."
7 Mužovia, čo sprevádzali Saula, stáli v úžase, počuli niekoho hovoriť, ale nevideli ho.
8 Saul vstal, šúchal si oči, ale zistil, že nič nevidí. Chytili ho za ruky a odviedli do Damasku.
9 Tri dni trvala jeho slepota a za celý čas nejedol ani nepil.
10 V Damasku žil veriaci muž zvaný Ananiáš. Tomu sa zjavil Pán Ježiš a oslovil ho menom. Ananiáš sa spýtal: Pane, čo si želáš?"
11 Pán mu povedal: Choď do Priamej ulice. Tam v Júdovom dome sa spýtaj na Saula, ktorý pochádza z Tarzu. Práve sa modlí
12 a má videnie, ako prichádzaš k nemu, kladieš naňho ruky a ako sa mu vracia zrak. Povedal som mu aj tvoje meno."
13 Ale Ananiáš odpovedal: Pane, počul som od mnohých, koľko zla napáchal tento muž tvojim verným v Jeruzaleme.
14 A aj sem vraj prišiel s poverením od veľkňazov, aby zatkol každého, kto vyznáva tvoje meno."
15 Ale Pán mu povedal: Len choď a urob všetko, ako ti vravím. Ja som si ho vybral ako zvláštny nástroj, ktorý zanesie zvesť o mne aj pohanským národom, aj vládcom a takisto aj Izraelitom.
16 A zároveň mu ukážem, ako veľmi bude musieť trpieť pre moje meno."
17 A tak Ananiáš šiel a vyhľadal Saula. Položil naňho ruky a povedal: Saul, brat môj, posiela ma k tebe Pán Ježiš, ktorý sa ti ukázal na ceste k nám. Máš byť naplnený Svätým Duchom a opäť sa ti má vrátiť zrak."
18 A tu zrazu, akoby sa rozplynula tma, Saul opäť videl. Vstal a dal sa pokrstiť.
19 Potom sa najedol a vrátila sa mu sila.

Saul’s Conversion(A)
9 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples.(B) He went to the high priest 2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus,(C) so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way,(D) whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. 3 As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.(E) 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice(F) say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.
“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. 6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”(G)
7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound(H) but did not see anyone.(I) 8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing.(J) So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.
10 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision,(K) “Ananias!”
“Yes, Lord,” he answered.
11 The Lord told him, “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus(L) named Saul, for he is praying. 12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on(M) him to restore his sight.”
13 “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people(N) in Jerusalem.(O) 14 And he has come here with authority from the chief priests(P) to arrest all who call on your name.”(Q)
15 But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument(R) to proclaim my name to the Gentiles(S) and their kings(T) and to the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.”(U)
17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on(V) Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”(W) 18 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized,(X) 19 and after taking some food, he regained his strength.
