Acts 26:12-16 ▼

12 I was traveling to Damascus under these circumstances with authority and a commission from the chief priests.

13 King Agrippa, while on the road at midday, I saw a light from heaven brighter than the sun, shining around me and those traveling with me.

14 We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’”

15 Then I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’” And the Lord replied: I am Jesus, the One you are persecuting.

16 But get up and stand on your feet. For I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and a witness of what you have seen and of what I will reveal to you.
