Acts 9:1–9
1But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest↗
2and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.↗
3As he traveled, he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.↗
4He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him,“Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”↗
5He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said,“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.↗
6But rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told what you must do.”↗
7The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.↗
8Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.↗
9He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.↗
