As also the Kohen Gadol and all the council of the Zakenim testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and journeyed to Dammesek to bring them also who were there to Yerushalayim in bonds to be punished.
6
It happened that, as I made my journey, and came close to Dammesek, about noon, suddenly there shone from the sky a great light around me.
7
I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, 'Sha'ul, Sha'ul, why do you persecute me?'
8
I answered, 'Who are you, Lord?' He said to me, 'I am Yeshua of Natzeret, whom you persecute.'
9
"Those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they didn't understand the voice of him who spoke to me.
10
I said, 'What shall I do, Lord?' The Lord said to me, 'Arise, and go into Dammesek. There you will be told about all things which are appointed for you to do.'
