Acts 26:9-18

9I indeedG3303 myself thoughtG1380 that I oughtG1163 to do muchG4183 against the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 the Nazaraean.

10Which alsoG2532 I did in JerusalemG2414, and myself shut up in prisonsG5438 manyG4183 of the saintsG40, having receivedG2983 the authorityG1849 from the chiefG749 priestsG749; and when they were put to death I gave my vote.

11And oftenG4178 punishing them in all the synagoguesG4864, I compelledG315 them to blasphemeG987. And, being exceedingly furious against them, I persecutedG1377 them evenG2532 to citiesG4172 out [of our ownG1438 land].

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.
