Acts 26:12-20

12InG1722 thisG3739 pursuit I was on my wayG4198 toG1519 DamascusG1154 withG3326 the authorityG1849 andG2532 commissionG2011 ofG3588 theG3588 chief priestsG749. 13About noonG3319G2250, O kingG935, as I was onG2596 theG3588 roadG3598, I sawG3708 a lightG5457 from heavenG3771G5228, brighter thanG2987 theG3588 sunG2246, shining aroundG4034 meG1473 andG2532 my companionsG3588G4198G4862G1473. 14WeG1473 allG3956 fellG2667 toG1519 theG3588 groundG1093, and I heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayG3004 toG4314 meG1473 inG3588 HebrewG1446G1258,1 ‘SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 do you persecuteG1377 MeG1473? It is hardG4642 for youG4771 to kickG2979 againstG4314 the goadsG2759.’

15‘WhoG5101 are YouG1510, LordG2962?’ IG1473 askedG2036.

‘IG1473 amG1510 JesusG2424, whomG3739 youG4771 are persecutingG1377,’ theG3588 LordG2962 repliedG2036. 16‘ButG235 get upG450 andG2532 standG2476 onG1909 yourG4771 feetG4228. ForG1063 I have appearedG3708 to youG4771 toG1519 appointG3778G4400 youG4771 as a servantG5257 andG2532 as a witnessG3144 of whatG3739 you have seenG3708 from MeG1473 andG5037 whatG3739 I will showG3708 youG4771. 17I will rescueG1807 youG4771 fromG1537 your own peopleG2992 andG2532 fromG1537 theG3588 GentilesG1484. IG1473 am sendingG649 youG4771 toG1519 them 18to openG455 theirG846 eyesG3788, so thatG3588 they may turnG1994 fromG575 darknessG4655 toG1519 lightG5457 andG2532 from theG3588 powerG1849 of SatanG4567 toG1909 GodG2316, that theyG846 may receiveG2983 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266 andG2532 an inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 thoseG3588 sanctifiedG37 by faithG4102 inG1519 MeG1473.’

19So thenG3606, KingG935 AgrippaG67, I wasG1096 notG3756 disobedientG545 to theG3588 heavenlyG3770 visionG3701. 20FirstG4412 to thoseG3588 inG1722 DamascusG1154 andG2532 JerusalemG2414, thenG5037 to everyoneG3956 in theG3588 regionG5561 of JudeaG2449, and thenG2532 to theG3588 GentilesG1484, I declared thatG518 they should repentG3340 andG2532 turnG1994 toG1909 GodG2316, performingG4238 deedsG2041 worthyG514 of their repentanceG3341.
