		Saul was born in the city of Tarsus (Acts 21:39,40).

		Ananias immediately proceeded to carry out his commission, and entering, laid his hands on Saul, assuring him that Jesus had sent him, and when the blindness caused by the great brightness of the vision, had been relieved, he commanded him to arise and be baptized, which he promptly did (Acts 9:1-18; Acts 22:1-16).
