Acts 22:6-21 - Paul Tells Of His Conversion On The Damascus Road
6 But it befell me, as I was journeying and drawing nigh unto Damascus, that, about mid-day - suddenly - out of heaven, there flashed a great light all around me; 7 I fell also to the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me - Saul! Saul! Why, me, art thou persecuting?
8 And, I, answered - Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me - I, am Jesus the Nazarene, whom, thou, art persecuting! 9 Now, they who were with me, beheld, indeed, the light, but heard not, the voice, of him that was speaking with me
10 And said - What shall I do, Lord? And, the Lord, said unto me - Arise, and be going thy way into Damascus, and, there, shall it be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
11 But, as I could not see clearly owing to the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them who were with me, I came into Damascus. 12 And, one Ananias, a man devout according to the law, well-attested by all the Jews that dwelt there, 13 coming unto me, and standing over me, said - Saul, brother! look up. And, I, in that very hour, looked up on him. 14 And he said - The God of our fathers, hath chosen thee to get to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, - and to hear a voice out of his mouth. 15 Because thou shalt be a witness to him unto all men, of the things which thou hast seen and heard. 16 And, now, what art thou going to do? Arise, and get thyself immersed, and have thy sins bathed away, calling upon his name.
17 And it came to pass, when had returned unto Jerusalem, and was praying in the temple, that I came to be in a trance, 18 and saw him, saying unto me - Haste thee, and go forth speedily out of Jerusalem, inasmuch as they will not accept thy witness concerning me.
19 And, I, said - Lord! they themselves, well know that I was imprisoning and beating in every synagogue them who were believing on thee. 20 And, when the blood of Stephen thy witness was being shed, even I myself, was standing by, and approving, and guarding the mantles of them who were slaying him.
21 And he said unto me - -Be taking thy journey; because, I, unto nations afar off, will send thee.
