"But on my way, when I was now not far from Damascus, about noon a sudden blaze of light from Heaven shone round me.
7
I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, "`Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?'
8
"`Who art thou, Lord?' I asked. "`I am Jesus, the Nazarene,' He replied, `whom you are persecuting.'

10
And I asked, "`What am I to do, Lord?' "And the Lord said to me, "`Rise, and go into Damascus. There you shall be told of all that has been appointed for you to do.'
