Acts 22:7 In-Context

5 as the high priest and the whole council of elders can bear me witness. From them I received letters to the brothers, and I journeyed toward Damascus to take those also who were there and bring them in bonds to Jerusalem to be punished.

6 “As I was on my way and drew near to Damascus, about noon a great light from heaven suddenly shone around me.

7 And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? ’

8 And I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord? ’ And he said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting. ’

9 Now those who were with me saw the light but did not understand the voice of the one who was speaking to me.
