Acts 22:6-18
-
6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
-
7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
-
8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
-
9 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
-
10 And I said, What shall I do, LORD? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
-
11 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
-
12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,
-
13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
-
14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
-
15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
-
16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
-
17 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
-
18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
