Acts 9:1-9 - Saul's Conversion On The Damascus Road

¹ But Saul, still breathing threat and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, after going to the high priest, ² he requested letters from him for Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. ³ And on going, it came to pass for him to approach Damascus. And suddenly there shone around him a light out of heaven. ⁴ And after falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do thou persecute me?

⁵ And he said, Who are thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecute. ⁶ But arise, and enter into the city, and it will be told thee what thou must do.

⁷ And the men who traveled with him had stopped, speechless, indeed hearing the voice, but seeing no man. ⁸ And Saul arose from the ground. And when his eyes were opened, he saw no man. But they brought him into Damascus, leading him by the hand. ⁹ And he was three days not seeing, and did not eat or drink.
