As also the high priest doth bear me witness , and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished .
6
And it came to pass , that, as I made my journey , and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
7
And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
8
And I answered , Who art thou , Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest .
9
And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
