NETBible

He¹ fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul,² why are you persecuting me?”³

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “and he.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.

²tn The double vocative suggests emotion.

³sn Persecuting me. To persecute the church is to persecute Jesus.
