    13about noon along the road, Your Majesty, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining everywhere around me and those traveling with me.

    14When we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic,‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? You are hurting yourself by kicking against the goads.’

    15So I said,‘Who are you, Lord?’ And the Lord replied,‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.

    16But get up and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this reason, to designate you in advance as a servant and witness to the things you have seen and to the things in which I will appear to you.

    17I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you

    18to open their eyes so that they turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

    27Do you believe the prophets, King Agrippa? I know that you believe.”

    6As I was en route and near Damascus, about noon a very bright light from heaven suddenly flashed around me.

    7Then I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me,‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’

    8I answered,‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me,‘I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.’

    9Those who were with me saw the light, but did not understand the voice of the one who was speaking to me.

    10So I asked,‘What should I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me,‘Get up and go to Damascus; there you will be told about everything that you have been designated to do.’

    11Since I could not see because of the brilliance of that light, I came to Damascus led by the hand of those who were with me.
