Acts 22:7 In-Context

5 You can ask the Chief Priest or anyone in the High Council to verify this; they all knew me well. Then I went off to our brothers in Damascus, armed with official documents authorizing me to hunt down the Christians there, arrest them, and bring them back to Jerusalem for sentencing.
6 "As I arrived on the outskirts of Damascus about noon, a blinding light blazed out of the skies
7 and I fell to the ground, dazed. I heard a voice: 'Saul, Saul, why are you out to get me?'
8 "'Who are you, Master?' I asked.
9 My companions saw the light, but they didn't hear the conversation.
