Bible Note: Saul was instructed by the Lord to go to straight street where a man named Ananias would tell him "what he must do". Yes, saul spent 3 days and 3 nights fasting and praying. Then he met Annanias who put his hands on him and said receive your sight. Then Saul was told "what are you waiting for, be baptized and WASH YOUR SINS AWAY".
