Who was Ananias of Damascus?

Ananias was a disciple living in Damascus. In Acts 9, God sent him to Saul, who had harmed followers of Jesus. Ananias expressed his concerns before going to meet him.

Ananias addressed Saul as a brother and helped him after his encounter with Jesus. The account includes both honest concern and an unexpected welcome.
