A certain Christian man who lived at Damascus named Ananias was told in a vision to go to Paul and lay his hands on him to restore his (Paul's) sight.
He brought to life a young man who fell from the window.
AnswerWe know nothing for certain other than what is in Paul's Epistle to Philemon. However, the epistle was a private letter, and the fact that it was preserved and subsequently copied throughout the Christian community, gives us hope that Philemon did indeed take Onesimus back without sever punishment.
Acts 9:20-5 claims that after his sight was restored, Paul straightaway began to preach Christianity in the synagogues, until the Jews took counsel to kill him. Disciples helped him escape the wrath of the Jews by lowering him down by the wall in a basket. However, who these disciples were is not stated.In Paul's own version of events, the pagan governor of Damascus sought to arrest Paul, but he escaped the soldiers by being lowered in a basket from a window by the wall. The governor would not have been at all interested in an internal squabble amongst the Jews, so Paul must have been preaching to the Gentiles and converting many. Once again, Paul did not state who helped him.
Paul was originally travelling to Damascus in order to arrest and imprison the Christians there. Acts 9 1And Saul [Paul], yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. Following his conversion, Paul was told to continue on to Damascus for a different reason - not only to receive his sight, but to receive the Holy Spirit and instructions for his new role: 17And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. 18And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
The woman you have in mind is probably Lydia, a "seller of purple from the city of Thyatira" (Acts 16:14). She and her household were baptized in the town of Philippi on Paul's second missionary journey, while he was accompanied by Silas. (You have to look back to Acts 15:40to see that Silas was among Paul's company at the time.)
God then sent a Christian named Ananias to give Saul back his sight, to baptize him, and tell him what the Lord expected of him

God used Ananias to heal Paul's blindness. Ananias was a disciple in Damascus whom God instructed to go and lay hands on Paul to restore his sight. Through Ananias' obedience and prayers, Paul's sight was miraculously restored.
