Acts 9:1-8
Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord. He went to the high priestand requested letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women who belonged to the Way, he might bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.As he traveled and was nearing Damascus, a light from heaven suddenly flashed around him.Falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him,“ Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”“ Who are You, Lord?” he said.“ I am Jesus, the One you are persecuting,” He replied.“ But get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the sound but seeing no one.Then Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing. So they took him by the hand and led him into Damascus.

After I received letters from them to the brothers, I traveled to Damascus to bring those who were prisoners there to be punished in Jerusalem.“ As I was traveling and near Damascus, about noon an intense light from heaven suddenly flashed around me.I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me,‘ Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?’“ I answered,‘ Who are You, Lord?’“ He said to me,‘ I am Jesus the Nazarene, the One you are persecuting!’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.’“ Since I couldn’t see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me, and came into Damascus.
