Acts 26:13-15

13at midday, O King, I saw on the way a light from heaven, 1brighter than the sun, shining all around me and those who were journeying with me.

14And when we had 2all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the 3 4Hebrew dialect, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? 5It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’

15And I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.
