2And made a request for letters from him to the Synagogues of Damascus, so that if there were any of the Way there, men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
3And while he was journeying, he came near Damascus; and suddenly he saw a light from heaven shining round him;
4And he went down on the earth, and a voice said to him, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly?
5And he said, Who are you, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus, whom you are attacking:
6But get up, and go into the town, and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.
7And the men who were with him were not able to say anything; hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
8And Saul got up from the earth, and when his eyes were open, he saw nothing; and he was guided by the hand into Damascus.
