Acts 9:1-9
The Conversion of Saul
9aNow 1Saul, still bbreathing 2threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest, 2and asked for aletters from him to bthe synagogues at cDamascus, so that if he found any belonging to dthe Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3And as he was traveling, it happened that when he was approaching Damascus, asuddenly a light from heaven flashed around him; 4and afalling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” 5And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And He said, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting, 6but rise up and enter the city, and ait will be told you what you must do.” 7And the men who traveled with him astood speechless, bhearing the 1voice but seeing no one. 8And Saul got up from the ground, and athough his eyes were open, he 1could see nothing. Leading him by the hand, they brought him into bDamascus. 9And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
