1 BUT Saul, still breathing out threatenings and murder against the disciples of the Lord, applying to the high-priest, 2 besought of him letters for the synagogues at Damascus, that if he should find any persons of this way, whether men or women, he might bring them in chains to Jerusalem. 3 So advancing on his journey, he was drawing nigh to Damascus: and suddenly there shone around him a light from heaven: 4 and falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5 Then said he, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou art persecuting: It is difficult for thee to kick against the goads. Acts 9:1-5, Haweis New Testament. Public domain.
