IZenzo 9:10-18

Kwakukhona eDamaseku umfundi othile, igama lakhe kungu-Ananiya. INkosi yakhuluma kuye ngombono, yathi: “Ananiya!” Yena wathi: “Ngilapha, Nkosi.” INkosi yayisithi kuye: “Suka uye emgwaqweni okuthiwa uQondile, ufune endlini kaJuda umuntu, igama lakhe nguSawula waseTharsu, ngokuba uyakhuleka; ubonile embonweni indoda, egama layo ngu-Ananiya, ingena, ibeka izandla phezu kwakhe ukuba abone.” Kepha u-Ananiya waphendula wathi: “Nkosi, ngizwile ngabaningi ngaleyo ndoda konke okubi ekwenzile kwabangcwele bakho eJerusalema; nalapha unegunya alithole kubaphristi abakhulu lokuzobopha bonke abakhuleka egameni lakho.” Kepha iNkosi yathi kuye: “Hamba, ngokuba lo uyisitsha sami esikhethiweyo sokuphatha igama lami phambi kwabezizwe, emakhosini, nakubantu bakwa-Israyeli. Ngokuba ngizakumbonisa ukuthi kumele ahlupheke kangakanani ngenxa yegama lami.” U-Ananiya wahamba, wangena endlini, wabeka izandla phezu kukaSawula, wathi: “Sawula, mzalwane, iNkosi uJesu ebonakale kuwe endleleni obuza ngayo, ingithumile ukuba ubuye ubone, ugcwaliswe ngoMoya oNgcwele.” Kwavuthuluka masinyane emehlweni akhe okungathi yinkwethu, wayesebona; esesukumile, wabhabhadiswa.
