1. But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, came to the high priest
2. and asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3. But as he was journeying, it came to pass that he drew near to Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven,
4. and falling on the earth he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me?
5. And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest.
6. But rise up and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7. But the men who were travelling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but beholding no one.
8. And Saul rose up from the earth, and his eyes being opened he saw no one. But leading him by the hand they brought him into Damascus.
9. And he was three days without seeing, and neither ate nor drank.
10. And there was a certain disciple in Damascus by name Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, here am I, Lord.
