I also heard a voice saying to me, &#8216;Get up, Peter; slaughter<n id="1" /> and eat!&#8217;

except<n id="1" /> that the Holy Spirit warns<n id="2" /> me in town after town<n id="3" /> that<n id="4" /> imprisonment<n id="5" /> and persecutions<n id="6" /> are waiting for me.

Then I<n id="1" /> fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, &#8216;Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?&#8217;

When<n id="1" /> I returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, I fell into a trance<n id="2" />

So the commanding officer<n id="1" /> came and asked<n id="2" /> Paul,<n id="3" /> &#8220;Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?&#8221;<n id="4" /> He replied,<n id="5" /> &#8220;Yes.&#8221;

For it seems unreasonable to me to send a prisoner without clearly indicating<n id="1" /> the charges against him.&#8221;p>

For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong<n id="1" /> and whom I serve<n id="2" /> came to me<n id="3" />

Therefore keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God<n id="1" /> that it will be just as I have been told.

Peter said to her, &#8220;Tell me, were the two of you<n id="1" /> paid this amount<n id="2" /> for the land?&#8221; Sapphira<n id="3" /> said, &#8220;Yes, that much.&#8221;

<b><i>But I will punishi>b><n id="1" /> <b><i>the nation they serve as slavesi>b>,&#8217; said God, &#8216;<b><i>and after these things they will come out of therei>b><n id="2" /> and <i>worshipi><n id="3" /> <i>me in this placei>.&#8217;<n id="4" />

because I am with you, and no one will assault<n id="1" /> you to harm<n id="2" /> you, because I have many people in this city.&#8221;

serving the Lord with all humility<n id="1" /> and with tears, and with the trials that happened to me because of the plots<n id="2" /> of the Jews.

As<n id="1" /> I was en route and near Damascus,<n id="2" /> about noon a very bright<n id="3" /> light from heaven<n id="4" /> suddenly flashed<n id="5" /> around me.

Those who were with me saw the light, but did not understand<n id="1" /> the voice of the one who was speaking to me.

Since I could not see because of<n id="1" /> the brilliance<n id="2" /> of that light, I came to Damascus led by the hand of<n id="3" /> those who were with me.

came<n id="1" /> to me and stood beside me<n id="2" /> and said to me, &#8216;Brother Saul, regain your sight!&#8217;<n id="3" /> And at that very moment<n id="4" /> I looked up and saw him.<n id="5" />

and saw the Lord<n id="1" /> saying to me, &#8216;Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about me.&#8217;

The commanding officer<n id="1" /> took him by the hand, withdrew privately, and asked, &#8220;What is it that you want<n id="2" /> to report to me?&#8221;
