9:1 Meanwhile Saul, still breathing out threats to murder the Lord’s disciples, went to the high priest
9:2 and requested letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, either men or women, he could bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
9:3 As he was going along, approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
9:4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
9:5 So he said, “Who are you, Lord?” He replied, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting!
9:6 But stand up and enter the city and you will be told what you must do.”
