And one Ananias, ...
Came unto me,
and stood, and said unto me,
Brother Saul,
receive thy sight.
And the same hour I looked up upon him.
And he said,
The God of our fathers hath chosen thee,
that thou shouldest know his will,
and see that Just One,
and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
And now why tarriest thou?
arise, and be baptized,
and wash away thy sins,
calling on the name of the Lord.
Acts 22:12-16
"Thus Jesus gave sanction to the authority of His organized church and placed Saul in connection with His appointed agencies on earth. Christ had now a church as His representative on earth, and to it belonged the work of directing the repentant sinner in the way of life."
