"As I was traveling and near Damascus, about noon an intense light from heaven suddenly flashed around me.
7
I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?'
8
"I answered, 'Who are You, Lord?' "He said to me, 'I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting!'
9
Now those who were with me saw the light, but they did not hear the voice of the One who was speaking to me.

"Then I said, 'What should I do, Lord?' "And the Lord told me, 'Get up and go into Damascus, and there you will be told about everything that is assigned for you to do.'
