Acts 9:17

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

So Ananias went to the house, and when he arrived, he placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Ananias 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.”
World English Bible (WEB)
And{G1161} Ananias{G367} went his way{G565}{(G5627)}, and{G2532} entered{G1525}{(G5627)} into{G1519} the house{G3614}; and{G2532} putting{G2007}{(G5631)} his hands{G5495} on{G1909} him{G846} said{G2036}{(G5627)}, Brother{G80} Saul{G4549}, the Lord{G2962}, even Jesus{G2424}, that appeared{G3700}{(G5685)} unto thee{G4671} in{G1722} the way{G3598} as{G3739} thou camest{G2064}{(G5711)}, hath sent{G649}{(G5758)} me{G3165}, that{G3704} thou mightest receive thy sight{G308}{(G5661)}, and{G2532} be filled with{G4130}{(G5686)} the Holy{G40} Ghost{G4151}.
Strong's King James
(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.’
