3
As he traveled, it happened that he got close to Dammesek, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
4
He fell on the eretz, and heard a voice saying to him, "Sha'ul, Sha'ul, why do you persecute me?"
5
He said, "Who are you, Lord?" The Lord said, "I am Yeshua, whom you are persecuting.
6
But rise up, and enter into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
7
The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
8
Sha'ul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand, and brought him into Dammesek.
9
He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
10
Now there was a certain talmid at Dammesek named Hananyah. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Hananyah!" He said, "Behold, it's me, Lord."
11
The Lord said to him, "Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Yehudah for one named Sha'ul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
12
and in a vision he has seen a man named Hananyah coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight."
13
But Hananyah answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your holy ones at Yerushalayim.
