Acts 22:4-8

4I persecuted this Way even to the point of death, tying up both men and women and putting them in prison,

5as both the high priest and the whole council of elders can testify about me. From them I also received letters to the brothers in Damascus, and I was on my way to make arrests there and bring the prisoners to Jerusalem to be punished.

6As I was en route and near Damascus, about noon a very bright light from heaven suddenly flashed around me.

7Then I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’

8I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me, ‘I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.’
