Acts 9:1-4

1But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, came to the high priest

2and asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the way, both men and women, he might bring [them] bound to Jerusalem.

3But as he was journeying, it came to pass that he drew near to Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven,

4and falling on the earth he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me?
