Acts 26:9-14

9I verily thoughtG1380 with myself that I oughtG1163 to do manyG4183 thingsG4183 contraryG1727 to the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480. 10And this I alsoG2532 did in JerusalemG2414: and I both shut up manyG4183 of the saintsG40 in prisonsG5438, having receivedG2983 authorityG1849 from the chiefG749 priestsG749, and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them. 11And punishing them oftentimes in all the synagoguesG4864, I strove to make them blasphemeG987; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecutedG1377 them evenG2532 unto foreign citiesG4172. 12Whereupon as I journeyed to DamascusG1154 with the authorityG1849 and commission of the chiefG749 priestsG749, 13at midday, O kingG935, I sawG3708 on the wayG3598 a lightG5457 from heavenG3771, above the brightness of the sunG2246, shining round about me and them that journeyed with me. 14And when we were all fallen to the earthG1093, I heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 unto me in the HebrewG1446 languageG1258, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thou me? it is hardG4642 for thee to kick against the goad.
