Acts 9:1-6 ▼

1 But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, came to the high priest

2 and asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the way, both men and women, he might bring [them] bound to Jerusalem.

3 But as he was journeying, it came to pass that he drew near to Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven,

4 and falling on the earth he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me?

5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest.

6 But rise up and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
