<P> During his conversion experience , Jesus had told Saul ( who was then called Paul ) to go into the city and wait . Jesus later spoke to Ananias in a vision , and told him to go to the `` street which is called Straight '' , and ask `` in the house of Judas for one called Saul , of Tarsus '' . ( Acts 9 : 11 ) Ananias objected that Saul had been persecuting `` thy saints '' , but the Lord told him that Saul was `` a chosen vessel unto me , to bear my name before the Gentiles , and kings , and the children of Israel '' . ( Acts 9 : 15 ) . When Ananias went in to Saul and laid his hands on him , the `` scales '' of dead tissue on the surface of his eyes fell off , and he looked up at Ananias . After additional instruction , Saul was baptized . ( Acts 9 : 18 ; 22 : 16 ) </P>
