Straight Street is mentioned in the story of Paul's conversion to Christianity in Acts 9. God speaks to Ananias in a vision, and tells him to go to the street called Straight. At the house of Judas, he was to look for a man of Tarsus named Saul, as Paul was then known. Ananias is hesitant but goes anyway. After Ananias lays hands on Saul, his eyesight is restored and he is baptized.
