Acts 9:1-6 ▼

1 Meanwhile, still spewing death threats against the Lord's disciples, Saul went to the high priest.

2 He asked him for letters to take with him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women belonging to the Way, he might bring them in chains to Jerusalem.

3 As Saul traveled along and was approaching Damascus, a light from heaven suddenly flashed around him.

4 He dropped to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, |Saul, Saul! Why are you persecuting me?|

5 He asked, |Who are you, Lord?| The voice said, |I'm Jesus, whom you are persecuting.

6 Now get up, go into the city, and you will be told what you are to do.|
