The Lord tells Ananias in a vision to go to the house of Judas to find Saul, who was blinded after encountering Jesus on the road to Damascus. Ananias is hesitant because of Saul's past persecution of Christians. However, the Lord insists and says Saul is His chosen instrument to bring the Gospel to the Gentiles. Ananias goes to Saul, lays hands on him to restore his sight, and baptizes him, allowing Saul to be filled with the Holy Spirit and strengthened.
