Acts 22:6-15

6“1But it happened that as I was on my way, approaching Damascus about noontime, a very bright light suddenly flashed from heaven all around me, 7and I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?’ 8And I answered, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said to me, ‘I am 2Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.’ 9And those who were with me 3saw the light, to be sure, but 4did not 5understand the voice of the One who was speaking to me. 10And I said, ‘6What shall I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me, ‘Get up and go on into Damascus, and there you will be told of all that has been appointed for you to do.’ 11But since I 7could not see because of the 8brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me and came into Damascus.

12“A certain 9Ananias, a man who was devout by the standard of the Law, and 10well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there, 13came to me, and standing near said to me, ‘11Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ And 1213at that very time I looked up at him. 14And he said, ‘14The God of our fathers has 15appointed you to know His will and to 16see the 17Righteous One and to hear an 18utterance from His mouth. 15For you will be 19a witness for Him to all men of 20what you have seen and heard.
