KJV with Strongs
(17) Now Hananyah departed and entered into the house and laid his hands upon him, saying, "Brother Sha'ul, The אָדוֹן Adonai Yeshua who appeared to you in the roadway which you came has sent me out. So that you may regain your sight and are filled with רוּחַ Ruach HaKodesh."
The F.O.G
[17] So Ananias went, trusting God's surprising plan. Finding Saul, he laid his hands on him and said, "Brother Saul"—words of acceptance that must have stunned the former persecutor—"the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road, has sent me so you can regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit's power."
The F.O.G Paraphrase
And Ananias went away, and did enter into the house, and having put upon him his hands, said, ‘Saul, brother, the Lord hath sent me—Jesus who did appear to thee in the way in which thou wast coming—that thou mayest see again, and mayest be filled with the Holy Spirit.’

God's Word is too vast for a single perspective. We all have a story, and as believers we all carry the Holy Spirit who is the Revealer. With this in mind - I would love to read your comments.
