And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord (that is, the Lord JESUS, as is evident from all that follows), in a vision, Ananias. Of this man Paul himself afterward bears this testimony, in his address to the people, that he was "a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there" (Acts 22:12), to show that the national religion could be in no way hostile to anything taught by him, since he had been taken by the hand by one of such strict Jewish orthodoxy and high repute.
And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
