  • Acts 22:3-9 : 3 I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city and educated at the feet of Gamaliel, strictly according to the law of our ancestors. I was zealous for God, just as all of you are today. 4 I persecuted this Way to the point of death, arresting both men and women and throwing them into prison. 5 As the high priest and the council of elders can testify, I even obtained letters from them to the brothers in Damascus and went there to bring back these people as prisoners to Jerusalem to be punished. 6 But as I was traveling and approaching Damascus, about noon, a bright light from heaven suddenly flashed around me. 7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’ 8 I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, the one you are persecuting.’ 9 Now those who were with me saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of the one who was speaking to me. 10 I asked, ‘What should I do, Lord?’ The Lord told me, ‘Get up and go into Damascus. There you will be told everything that has been assigned for you to do.’ 11 Since I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me and went into Damascus. 12 A man named Ananias, a devout observer of the law who was well spoken of by all the Jews living there, 13 He came to me, stood by, and said, 'Brother Saul, regain your sight!' At that moment, I looked up and could see him. 14 Then he said, 'The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know His will, to see the Righteous One, and to hear words from His mouth. 15 For you will be His witness to all people of what you have seen and heard. 16 And now, why delay? Get up, be baptized, and wash away your sins by calling on His name.
  • Acts 26:9-9 : 9 Indeed, I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 10 And that is what I did in Jerusalem. I locked up many of the saints in prison, having received authority from the chief priests. And when they were condemned to death, I cast my vote against them. 11 I punished them often in all the synagogues, trying to force them to blaspheme. In my raging fury against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities. 12 In this pursuit, I was traveling to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests. 13 At midday, O King, while I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those traveling with me. 14 When we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in Hebrew, saying, 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.' 15 I asked, 'Who are you, Lord?' And the Lord replied, 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.' 16 But rise and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you: to appoint you as a servant and a witness of what you have seen and of what I will show you.
