Acts 22:6-16
6“1But it happenedG1096 that as I was on my wayG4198, approachingG1448 DamascusG1154 aboutG4012 noontimeG3314, a veryG2425 brightG2425 lightG5457 suddenlyG1810 flashedG4015 from heavenG3772 allG4012 aroundG4012 me, 7and I fellG4098 to the groundG1475 and heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 to me, ‘SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 are you persecutingG1377 Me?’ 8And I answeredG611, ‘WhoG5101 are You, LordG2962?’ And He saidG3004 to me, ‘I amG1510 2JesusG2424 the NazareneG3480, whomG3739 you are persecutingG1377.’ 9And thoseG3588 whoG5101 were with me 3sawG2300 the lightG5457, to be sureG3303, but 4did not 5understandG191 the voiceG5456 of the One who was speakingG2980 to me. 10And I saidG3004, ‘6WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, LordG2962?’ And the LordG2962 saidG3004 to me, ‘GetG450 up and goG4198 on into DamascusG1154, and thereG2546 you will be toldG2980 of allG3956 that has been appointedG5021 for you to doG4160.’ 11But sinceG5613 I 7could not seeG1689 becauseG575 of the 8brightnessG1391 of that lightG5457, I was ledG5496 by the handG5496 by thoseG3588 who were with me and cameG2064 into DamascusG1154.
12“A certainG5100 9AnaniasG367, a manG435 who was devoutG2126 by the standardG3358 of the LawG3551, and 10wellG3140 spokenG3140 of by allG3956 the JewsG2453 who livedG2730 there, 13cameG2064 to me, and standingG2186 nearG2186 saidG3004 to me, ‘11BrotherG80 SaulG4549, receiveG308 your sightG308!’ And 1213at that veryG846 timeG5610 I lookedG308 up at him. 14And he saidG3004, ‘14The GodG2316 of our fathersG3962 has 15appointedG4400 you to knowG1097 His willG2307 and to 16seeG3708 the 17RighteousG1342 OneG1342 and to hearG191 an 18utteranceG5456 from His mouthG4750. 15For you will be 19a witnessG3144 for Him to allG3956 menG444 of 20whatG3739 you have seenG3708 and heardG191. 16NowG3568 whyG5101 do you delayG3195? 21GetG450 up and be baptizedG907, and 22washG628 awayG628 your sinsG266, 23callingG1941 on His nameG3686.’
