Acts 22:6-21 - Paul Tells Of His Conversion On The Damascus Road
6 And it happened to me, traveling and drawing near to Damascus: suddenly, about midday, a great light out of the heaven shone around me. 7 And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?
8 And I answered, Who are you, lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute. 9 And they who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid. But they did not hear the voice of Him who spoke to me.
10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Arise and go into Damascus. And there it shall be told you all things which are appointed for you to do.
11 And I did not see, because of the glory of that light; being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus. 12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the Law, testified to by all the Jews who lived there, 13 coming to me and standing by, said to me, Brother Saul, look up! And the same hour I looked up on him. 14 And he said, The God of our fathers has chosen you to know His will and to see the Just One, and to hear a voice out of His mouth. 15 For you shall be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard. 16 And now what do you intend? Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
17 And it happened to me, I returning to Jerusalem and praying in the temple, I became in an ecstasy. 18 And I saw Him say to me, Hurry and go quickly out of Jerusalem, for they will not receive your testimony concerning Me.
19 And I said, Lord, they know that I was imprisoning and beating those who believed on You throughout the synagogues. 20 And when the blood of Your martyr Stephen was poured out, I also was standing by and consenting to his death, and holding the garments of those who killed him.
21 And He said to me, Go, for I will send you far away to the nations.
