Acts 26:9-15

9So thenG3767G3303, IG1473 too was convinced thatG1380 I oughtG1163 to doG4238 allG4183 I could to opposeG1727 theG3588 nameG3686 of JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480. 10AndG2532 that is whatG3739 I didG4160 inG1722 JerusalemG2414. WithG2983 authorityG1849 fromG3844 theG3588 chief priestsG749 IG1473 putG2623 manyG4183 of theG3588 saintsG40 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG5037 when theyG846 were condemned to deathG337, I cast my vote againstG2702G5586 them. 11I frequently had them punishedG4178G846G5097 inG2596 theG3588 synagoguesG4864, and I tried to makeG315 them blasphemeG987. In my raging furyG1693G4057 against themG846, I evenG2532 went toG1519 foreignG1854 citiesG4172 to persecuteG1377 them.

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.
