37 Now when ^dthey heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, ^ewhat shall we do?” 38 And Peter said to them, ^f“Repent and ^gbe baptized every one of you ^hin the name of Jesus Christ ⁱfor the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive ^jthe gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For ^kthe promise is for you and ^lfor your children and for all ^mwho are far off, everyone ⁿwhom the Lord our God calls to himself.” 40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, ^o“Save yourselves from this ^pcrooked generation.” 41 So those who received his word were baptized, and ^qthere were added that day about three thousand souls.

Acts 9:1-20

The Conversion of Saul

1 But Saul, ^aistill ^ajbreathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to ^akthe high priest 2 and asked him for letters ^alto the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to ^amthe Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3 ^anNow as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. 4 And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting ^aome?” 5 And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, ^apwhom you are persecuting. 6 But ^aqrise and enter the city, and you will be told ^arwhat you are to do.” 7 ^asThe men who were traveling with him stood speechless, ^athearing the voice but seeing no one. 8 Saul rose from the ground, and although his eyes were opened, ^auhe saw nothing. So they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. 9 And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

10 Now there was a disciple at Damascus named ^avAnanias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, ^aw“Here I am, Lord.” 11 And the Lord said to him, “Rise and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man ^axof Tarsus named Saul, for behold, he is praying, 12 and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and ^aylay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.” 13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, ^azhow much evil he has done to ^bayour ^bbsaints at Jerusalem. 14 And here he has authority from ^bcthe chief priests to bind all who ^bdcall on your name.” 15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for ^behe is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name ^bfbefore the Gentiles and ^bgkings and the children of Israel. 16 For ^bhI will show him how much ^bihe must suffer ^bjfor the sake of my name.” 17 So ^bkAnanias departed and entered the house. And ^bllaying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came has sent me so that you may regain your sight and ^bmbe filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and ^bnhe regained his sight. Then ^bohe rose and was baptized; 19 and ^bptaking food, he was strengthened.
