Ananias (the disciple at Damascus)
아나니아 (다메섹의 제자)
Named at Acts 9:10 as a certain disciple at Damascus. The Lord says to him in a vision, “Ananias!” and tells him to go to the street which is called Straight and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus; Ananias answers, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem,” but the Lord says to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.” At 9:17 Ananias departs, enters into the house and, laying his hands on Saul, says, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Where WEB says “the Lord” at 9:17, the Korean Revised Version names him: 주 곧 네가 오는 길에서 나타나시던 예수 (the Lord, that is, Jesus, who appeared to you on the road). Acts 22:12–16 tells how “one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus, came to me, and standing by me said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’”, and how he said, “The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth. For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard. Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.”

10Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”
11The Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
12and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.”
13But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
14Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”
15But the Lord said to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
16For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
17Ananias departed and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.

12“One Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus,
13came to me, and standing by me said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ In that very hour I looked up at him.
14He said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.
15For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.
16Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’
