Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days; but I saw no other of the apostles, except James the brother of the Lord.

as the high priest also, and all the eldership, witnessed me: from whom having also received letters from the brethren in Damascus, I was on my way, being about to lead them also hither into Jerusalem bound, that they might be punished.

And I responded, Who art thou, Lord? And He said to me, I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom thou art persecuting. And those being along with me saw the light indeed, but heard not the voice of the one speaking to me. And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Rising up, go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee concerning all things which have been ordained for thee to do. And when I did not see on account of the glory of that light, and being led by the hand by those journeying with me, I came into Damascus. And a certain Ananias, a man godly according to the law, and of good report by all the Jews dwelling there, having come to me, and standing over me, said, Brother Saul, look up. And I at that hour looked up unto him. And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee to know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice from His mouth; because thou shalt be a witness for Him to all men of those things which thou hast seen and heard. And now why tarriest thou? arising, be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on His name.

Meanwhile journeying to Damascus with power and authority of the chief priests, I saw on the way, O king, about midday, a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun, shining around me and those traveling with me; and we all having fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against goads. read more.
And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou art persecuting. But rise up, and stand upon thy feet: for unto this have I appeared unto thee, to make thee a minister and a martyr both of those things which thou hast seen, and of which I will appear unto thee; delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness unto light, and from the power of Satan unto God, in order that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me. Therefore, O king, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision: but first to those in Damascus, and also in Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles, I was preaching that they should repent and turn to God, doing things worthy of repentance.
