Acts 26:12-16
12“1WhileG1722 soG3739 engaged 2as I was journeyingG4198 to DamascusG1154 with the authorityG1849 and commissionG2011 of the chiefG749 priestsG749,
13at middayG2250G3319, O KingG935, I sawG3708 on the wayG3598 a lightG5457 from heavenG3771, 3brighterG2987 thanG5228 the sunG2246, shiningG4034 all aroundG4034 me and thoseG3588 who were journeyingG4198 with me.
14And when we had 4allG3956 fallenG2667 to the groundG1093, I heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 to me in the 56HebrewG1446 dialectG1258, ‘SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 are you persecutingG1377 Me? 7It is hardG4642 for you to kickG2979 againstG4314 the goadsG2759.’
15And I saidG3004, ‘WhoG5101 are You, LordG2962?’ And the LordG2962 saidG3004, ‘I amG1510 JesusG2424 whomG3739 you are persecutingG1377.
16But getG450 up and 8standG2476 on your feetG4228; for thisG3778 purpose I have appearedG3708 to you, to 9appointG4400 you a 10ministerG5257 and 11a witnessG3144 not onlyG5037 to the things whichG3739 you have 12seenG3708, but alsoG5037 to the things in whichG3739 I will appearG3708 to you;
