Acts 9:1-9

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?

5And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest.

6But rise up and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

7But the men who were travelling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but beholding no one.

8And Saul rose up from the earth, and his eyes being opened he saw no one. But leading [him] by the hand they brought him into Damascus.

9And he was three days without seeing, and neither ate nor drank.
