Acts 9:12-16. And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight. Then Ananias answered Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name. But the Lord said unto him, go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: for I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
Ananias said to the Lord, "I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem;" and now the Lord says to Ananias, in response to that, "I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake." As he had made others suffer for Christ’s name’s sake, he must himself suffer in the same way; yet in this he was greatly favored, for it is one of the highest honours that the Lord Jesus Christ can put upon his chosen ones that they should be called to suffer for his name’s sake.
