Acts 26:13-18

13at middayG2250G3319, O kingG935, I sawG3708 on the wayG3598 a lightG5457 from heavenG3771, 1brighterG2987 thanG5228 the sunG2246, shiningG4034 aroundG4034 me and thoseG3588 who were journeyingG4198 with me. 14And when we had 2allG3956 fallenG2667 to the groundG1093, I heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 to me in the 34HebrewG1446 dialectG1258, ‘SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 are you persecutingG1377 Me? 5It 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 upG450 and 6standG2476 on your feetG4228; for thisG3778 purpose I have appearedG3708 to you, to 7appointG4400 you as a 8servantG5257 and 9a witnessG3144 not onlyG5037 to the things in whichG3739 you have seenG3708 Me, but alsoG5037 to the things in whichG3739 I will appearG3708 to you, 1710rescuingG1807 you 11from the Jewish peopleG2992 and from the GentilesG1484, to whomG3739 I am sendingG649 you, 18to 12openG455 their eyesG3788 so that they may turnG1994 from 13darknessG4655 to lightG5457, and from the 14powerG1849 of 15SatanG4567 to GodG2316, that they may receiveG2983 16forgivenessG859 of sinsG266 and an 17inheritanceG2819 amongG1722 thoseG3588 who have been sanctifiedG37 by 18faithG4102 in Me.’
