Acts 9:1-9 - Saul's Conversion On The Damascus Road
1 Meanwhile Saul still breathed threats of murder against the disciples of the Lord. He went to the high priest 2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus empowering him to put any man or woman in chains whom he could find belonging to the Way, and bring them to Jerusalem. 3 As he neared Damascus in the course of his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed round him; 4 he dropped to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
5 "Who are you?" he asked. "I am Jesus," he said, "and you persecute me. 6 Get up and go into the city. There you will be told what you have to do."
7 His fellow-travellers stood speechless, for they heard the voice but they could not see anyone. 8 Saul got up from the ground, but though his eyes were open he could see nothing; so they took his hand and led him to Damascus. 9 For three days he remained sightless, he neither ate nor drank.
