And I persecuted this Way as far as death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. As also the high priest testifies about me, and all the senior council, from whom also having received letters to the brothers in Damascus, I was going to bring bound even those who were there to Jerusalem so that they might be pun And there happened to me, while going and approaching Damascus about noon, suddenly to flash forth from heaven a great light around me. And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why do thou persecute me? And I answered, Who are thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom thou persecute. And those who were with me indeed saw the light and became afraid, but they heard not the voice of him who spoke to me. And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, After rising, go into Damascus, and there it will be told thee about all things that have been assigned for thee to do.

And now what is it going to be? Having arisen, immerse and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. And it came to pass, my having returned to Jerusalem and while I prayed in the temple, for me to became in a trance. And I saw him saying to me, Hurry and depart in haste out of Jerusalem, because they will not accept thy testimony about me. And I said, Lord, they know that I was imprisoning and beating in every synagogue those who believe in thee. And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I myself also was standing by, and approving his killing, and keeping the garments of those who killed him. And he said to me, Depart, because I will send thee far away to Gentiles.

Prisoners » Paul
But when her masters saw that the hope of their business was gone, having seized Paul and Silas, they dragged them into the marketplace to the rulers. And after bringing them to the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, disturb our city, and proclaim customs that are not permitted for us to receive nor to do, being Romans. read more.
And the multitude rose up together against them. And the magistrates, having torn off their clothes, commanded to beat them with rods. And having laid many blows upon them, they cast them into prison, having ordered the jailor to guard them securely, who, having received such an order, threw them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks. Now toward midnight Paul and Silas, while praying, were singing praises to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. And suddenly a great earthquake occurred, so as for the foundations of the prison to shake. And immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all the men were unfastened. And the jailor, who became awake and who saw the prison doors opened, having drawn out a sword was going to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled. But Paul cried out in a great voice, saying, Do nothing harmful to thyself, for we are all here. And having asked for lights, he rushed in, and having become trembling, he fell down before Paul and Silas. And after bringing them outside, he said, Sirs, what must I do so that I may be saved? And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou will be saved, thou and thy household. And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all those in his house. And having taken them in that hour of the night, he washed from the stripes, and was immersed, he and all those of him, immediately. And having brought them into his house, he set out a table, and rejoiced, having believed in God with all his house. But when it became day, the magistrates sent out the police, saying, Release those men. And the jailor reported these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent out so that ye may be released. Now therefore after coming out, go in peace. But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly, uncondemned men, being Romans, they cast us into prison, and now they thrust us out privately? Certainly not, but after coming, they shall lead us out. And the police reported these sayings to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans. And having come they besought them, and when they brought them out, they asked them to go out of the city. And having departed from the prison, they came in to Lydia. And after seeing the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.
