    12Then, when I was journeying to Damascus with the authority and orders of the chief priests,

    13In the middle of the day, on the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining round me and those who were journeying with me.

    17And I will keep you safe from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,

    18To make their eyes open, turning them from the dark to the light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may have forgiveness of sins and a heritage among those who are made holy by faith in me.

    7And when I went down on the earth, a voice came to my ears saying to me, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly?

    8And I, answering, said, Who are you; Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are attacking.

    9And those who were with me saw the light, but the voice of him who was talking to me came not to their ears.

    10And I said, What have I to do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Get up, and go into Damascus; and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.

    11And because I was unable to see because of the glory of that light, those who were with me took me by the hand, and so I came to Damascus.
