Acts 22:5-11
5as alsoG2532 1the highG749 priestG749 and allG3956 2the CouncilG4244 ofG4244 the eldersG4244 3can testifyG3140. From them I alsoG2532 4receivedG1209 lettersG1992 to 5the brothersG80, and startedG4198 off for 6DamascusG1154 in order to bringG71 evenG2532 thoseG3588 who were thereG1566 to JerusalemG2419 7as prisonersG1210 to be punishedG5097.
6“8But it happenedG1096 that as I wasG4198 onG4198 my wayG4198, approachingG1448 DamascusG1154 at aboutG4012 noonG3314, a veryG2425 brightG2425 lightG5457 suddenlyG1810 flashedG4015 from heavenG3772 allG4015 aroundG4015 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 9JesusG2424 the NazareneG3480, whomG3739 you are persecutingG1377.’ 9And thoseG3588 whoG5101 were with me 10sawG2300 the lightG5457, but 11did not 12understandG191 the voiceG5456 of the One who was speakingG2980 to me. 10And I saidG3004, ‘13WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, LordG2962?’ And the LordG2962 saidG3004 to me, ‘GetG450 upG450 and goG4198 onG4198 into DamascusG1154, and thereG2546 you will be toldG2980 aboutG4012 everythingG3956 that has been appointedG5021 for you to doG4160.’ 11But sinceG5613 I 14could not seeG1689 becauseG575 of the 15brightnessG1391 of that lightG5457, I cameG2064 into DamascusG1154 being ledG5496 byG5496 theG5496 handG5496 by thoseG3588 who were with me.
