Acts 26:12-16 ▼

12 |That is how I happened to be traveling to Damascus with authority based on a commission from the high priests.

13 On the road at noon, O King, I saw a light from heaven that was brighter than the sun. It flashed around me and those who were traveling with me.

14 |All of us fell to the ground, and I heard a voice asking me in the Hebrew language, 'Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me? It is hurting you to keep on kicking against the cattle prods.'

15 |I asked, 'Who are you, Lord?' |The Lord answered, 'I'm Jesus, whom you are persecuting.

16 But get up and stand on your feet, because I've appeared to you for the very purpose of appointing you to be my servant and witness of what you've seen and of what I'll show you.
