Ananias, a devout follower of Jesus who lived in Damascus, baptized Saul after his conversion. In Acts 9:18, we read that “immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized.” This act of water baptism symbolized Saul’s identification with Christ’s death and resurrection and his commitment to follow Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
