4`And this way I persecuted unto death, binding and delivering up to prisons both men and women,
5as also the chief priest doth testify to me, and all the eldership; from whom also having received letters unto the brethren, to Damascus, I was going on, to bring also those there bound to Jerusalem that they might be punished,
6and it came to pass, in my going on and coming nigh to Damascus, about noon, suddenly out of the heaven there shone a great light round about me,
7I fell also to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute?
8`And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? and he said unto me, I am Jesus the Nazarene whom thou dost persecute --
9and they who are with me the light did see, and became afraid, and the voice they heard not of him who is speaking to me --
10and I said, What shall I do, Lord? and the Lord said unto me, Having risen, go on to Damascus, and there it shall be told thee concerning all things that have been appointed for thee to do.
