Acts 9:1-7
1MeanwhileG1161, SaulG4569 was stillG2089 breathing outG1709 murderousG5408 threatsG547 againstG1519 theG3588 disciplesG3101 of theG3588 LordG2962. He approachedG4334 theG3588 high priestG749 2and requestedG154G3844G846 lettersG1992 toG4314 theG3588 synagoguesG4864 inG1519 DamascusG1154, so thatG3704 ifG1437 he foundG2147 anyG5100 menG435 or womenG1135 belongingG1510 to theG3588 WayG3598, he could bring them as prisonersG1210G71 toG1519 JerusalemG2419.
As Saul drew nearG1448 to DamascusG1154 onG1722 his journeyG4198, suddenlyG1810 a lightG5457 fromG1537 heavenG3772 flashed aroundG4015 himG846. 4He fellG4098 toG1909 theG3588 groundG1093 and heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayG3004 to himG846, “SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 do you persecuteG1377 MeG1473?”
5“WhoG5101 are YouG1510, LordG2962?” Saul askedG2036.
“IG1473 amG1510 JesusG2424, whomG3739 youG4771 are persecutingG1377,” He replied.1 6“NowG235 get upG450 andG2532 go intoG1525G1519 theG3588 cityG4172, andG2532 you will be toldG2980G4771 whatG5101 youG4771 mustG1163 doG4160.”
TheG3588 menG435 traveling withG4922 Saul stoodG2476 there speechlessG1769. They heardG191 theG3588 voiceG5456 butG1161 did not seeG2334 anyone.
