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

¹ Meanwhile Saul, still breathing out threats of murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest ² and begged of him letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any that were of the Way, either men or women, he could bind them and bring them to Jerusalem. ³ And as he journeyed, when he was approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed round him. ⁴ He fell to the ground, and heard a voice which said to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?"

⁵ And he said, "Who are you Lord?" ⁶ "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he said: "Stand up and go into the city, and there you shall be told what you must do."

⁷ Meanwhile the men who were his fellow travelers stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice, but beholding no one. ⁸ And Saul got up from the ground, but although his eyes were open, he continued to perceive nothing; so they took him by the hand and led him into Damascus. ⁹ And he remained there three days, seeing nothing, and without eating or drinking.
