1 Meanwhile, Saul (asked for) was still breathing out murderous threats against the disciples (pupils) of the Lord {Kyriou}. He approached the high priest 2 and requested letters {epistolas} to the synagogues in Damascus (well-watered land), so that if he found any men or women belonging to the Way, he could bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem (city of peace). 3 As Saul drew near to Damascus (well-watered land) on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul (asked for), Saul, why do you persecute Me? 5 “Who are You, Lord {Kyrie}? Saul asked. “I am Jesus (YHWH saves), whom you are persecuting, He replied [“It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”]. 6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do. 7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice but did not see anyone. 8 Saul (asked for) got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see a thing \he could see nothing/. So they led him by the hand into Damascus (well-watered land). Acts 9:1-8, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
