Acts 26:12-23

12And when, [engaged] in this, I was journeyingG4198 to DamascusG1154, with authorityG1849 and powerG1849 from the chiefG749 priestsG749,

13at mid-day, on the wayG3598, I sawG3708, O kingG935, a lightG5457 above the brightness of the sunG2246, shining from heavenG3771 round about me and those who were journeyingG4198 with me.

14And, when we were all fallen to the groundG1093, I heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 to me in the HebrewG1446 tongue, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thou me? [it is] hardG4642 for thee to kick against goads.

15And I saidG3004, Who art thou, LordG2962? And the LordG2962 saidG3004, I amG1510 JesusG2424 whom thou persecutest:

16but riseG450 up and standG2476 on thy feetG4228; for, for this purpose have I appeared to thee, to appointG4400 thee to be a servant and a witnessG3144 both of what thou hast seenG3708, and of what I shall appear to thee in,

17taking thee out from among the peopleG2992, and the nationsG1484, to whom I sendG649 thee,

18to openG455 their eyesG3788, that they may turnG1994 from darknessG4655 to lightG5457, and from the powerG1849 of SatanG4567 to 1GodG2316, that they may receiveG2983 remission of sinsG266 and inheritanceG2819 among them that are sanctifiedG37 by faithG4102 in me.

19Whereupon, kingG935 AgrippaG67, I was not disobedientG545 to the heavenlyG3770 visionG3701;

20but have, firstG4413 to those both in DamascusG1154 and JerusalemG2414, and to all the regionG5561 of Judaea, and to the nationsG1484, announced that they should repentG3340 and turnG1994 to 2GodG2316, doing worksG2041 worthyG514 of repentanceG3341.

21On account of these thingsG3778 the JewsG2453, having seized me in the temple, attempted to lay hands on and destroy me.

22Having thereforeG3767 met with [the] help which is from 3GodG2316, I have stoodG2476 firmG2476 unto this dayG2250, witnessing both to smallG3398 and greatG3173, sayingG3004 nothing else than those thingsG3778 which both the prophetsG4396 and MosesG3475 have saidG3004 should happenG1096,

23[namely,] whether ChristG5547 should suffer; whether he firstG4413, through resurrectionG386 of [the] deadG3498, should announce lightG5457 both to the peopleG2992 and to the nationsG1484.
