And having fallen upon the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, Why drivest thou me out? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom thou drivest out: hard for thee to kick against goads. And he trembling and amazed said, Lord, What wilt thou me to do? And the Lord to him, Arise, and come into the city, and it shall be spoken to thee what thou must do. And the men journeying with him stood astonished, hearing the voice truly, and seeing no one. And Saul was raised up from the earth; and his eyes being opened, he saw no one: and leading him by the hand, they brought him to Damascus. And he was three days not seeing, and he ate not, nor drank. And a certain disciple was in Damascus, Ananias by name; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I, Lord. And the Lord to him, Having risen, go thou to the street called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas Saul by name, of Tarsus; for, behold, he prays, And he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and having put hand upon him, so that he might look up and see again. And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how many evils he did to thy holy ones in Jerusalem: And here has he authority from the chief priests to bind all those calling on thy name. And the Lord said to him, Go: for he is a vessel of choice to me, to lift up my name before nations, and kings, and the sons of Israel: For I will show him what he must suffer for my name.

And he was with them going in and going out in Jerusalem, and speaking freely in the name of the Lord Jesus. And he spake and sought out with the Greeks; but they purposed to kill him. And the brethren having known, brought him down to Cesarea, and they sent him forth to Tarsus.
