Paul » His vision and conversion
Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen the Lord Jesus? are you not my work in the Lord?
But last of all he was seen by me, as one born out of due time.
I give thanks to Jesus Christ our Lord, the one having filled me up with dynamite, because he considered me faithful, having put me in the ministry; being antecedently a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an insulter: but I obtained mercy, because I did it in unbelief being ignorant;
For you have heard of my life formerly in Judaism, that I was persecuting the church of God exceedingly, and destroying it:
And it came to pass, while prosecuting the journey he drew near to Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven shone around him; and falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And He said, I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. read more.
But stand up, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what it behooves thee to do. And the men journeying along with him stood speechless, indeed hearing the voice, but seeing no one. And Saul arose from the ground; and his eyes being open, he saw nothing: but leading him by the hand, they led him into Damascus; and he was three days not seeing, neither did he eat nor drink. And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, Ananias by name; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. And the Lord said to him, Arising, go to the street which is called Straight, and seek a Tarsean, by name Saul, in the house of Judas; for, behold, he is praying, and he saw a man, Ananias by name, coming in, and putting his hands on him, in order that he may look up. And Ananias responded, Lord I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints in Jerusalem: and he here has authority from the chief priests to bind all those calling on thy name. And the Lord said to him, Go: because he is a vessel of election to me, to bear my name both before the Gentiles, and kings, and sons of Israel: for I will show him how many things it behooves him to suffer for my name's sake. And Ananias departed, and came into the house: and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, Jesus, that appeared to you in the way in which thou didst come, hath sent me, that thou mayest look up, and he filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell from his eyes as scales: and he looked up; and having stood up, was baptized, and having received food, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples who were in Damascus some days; and immediately he was preaching Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. And all those hearing were astonished, and continued to say, Is not this the one laying waste those calling on this name in Jerusalem? and has come hither for this, that he may lead them bound to the chief priests. And Saul continued to be the more filled up with dynamite, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that Jesus is the Christ.

who after this way persecuted unto death, binding and committing to prison both men and women; as the high priest also, and all the eldership, witnessed me: from whom having also received letters from the brethren in Damascus, I was on my way, being about to lead them also hither into Jerusalem bound, that they might be punished. And it came to pass, while I was journeying, and nigh unto Damascus, a great light, about midday, suddenly shone from heaven around me; read more.
and I felt upon the ground, and heard a voice, saying to me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And I responded, Who art thou, Lord? And He said to me, I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom thou art persecuting. And those being along with me saw the light indeed, but heard not the voice of the one speaking to me. And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Rising up, go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee concerning all things which have been ordained for thee to do. And when I did not see on account of the glory of that light, and being led by the hand by those journeying with me, I came into Damascus. And a certain Ananias, a man godly according to the law, and of good report by all the Jews dwelling there, having come to me, and standing over me, said, Brother Saul, look up. And I at that hour looked up unto him. And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee to know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice from His mouth; because thou shalt be a witness for Him to all men of those things which thou hast seen and heard. And now why tarriest thou? arising, be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on His name. And it happened unto me, having returned into Jerusalem, and while I was praying in the temple, I was in an ecstasy; and I saw Him speaking to me, Hasten, and depart quickly out of Jerusalem, because they will not receive thy testimony concerning me. And I said, Lord, they know that I was imprisoning and binding those believing on thee throughout the synagogue;

Moreover indeed, I thought to myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus the Nazarene: which I did also in Jerusalem, and shut up many of the saints in prison; and having received authority from the chief priests, and they being slain, I gave my vote against them; and throughout all the synagogues, frequently punishing them, I compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceeding mad against them, I was persecuting them even also unto foreign cities. read more.
Meanwhile journeying to Damascus with power and authority of the chief priests, I saw on the way, O king, about midday, a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun, shining around me and those traveling with me; and we all having fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against goads. And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou art persecuting.

But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, having come to the high priest, asked from him letters to Damascus against the synagogues, in order that if he should find any being of the way, both men and women, he might lead them bound to Jerusalem.

And when many days were being filled up, the Jews issued a verdict to kill him: but their plot was made known to Saul. And they were keeping the gates both day and night in order that they might kill him: and his disciples taking him, let him down through the wall in the night, lowering him in a basket. And arriving in Jerusalem, he was endeavoring to join himself to the disciples: and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple. But Barnabas taking him, led him to the apostles, and related to them how he saw the Lord on the way, and that He spoke to him, and how he preached boldly in Damascus in the name of Jesus. And he was with them going in and coming out in Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord; and he was speaking and arguing against the Hellenists, and they undertook to kill him. And the brethren, taking cognizance, led him to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus. Then indeed the church had peace throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, being edified and progressing in the fear of the Lord; and was being multiplied by the exhortation of the Holy Ghost.
