3 and he saith) I am verily a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and accurately instructed in the law of our fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
4 And I persecuted this way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women: As likewise the high priest is my witness, and all the estate of the elders:
5 from whom also I received letters to the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them who were there to Jerusalem to be punished.
6 But as I journeyed and drew near to Damascus, about noon suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
7 And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
9 And they that were with me, saw the light, and were terrified; but they did not hear the voice of him that spake to me, And I said, What shall I do, Lord?
10 And the Lord said to me, Rise and go into Damascus, and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed thee to do.
11 And as I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand by them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law,
13 well reported of by all the Jews that dwelt there, Coming to me, stood and said to 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, to know his will, and see that Just one, and hear the voice of his mouth.
15 For thou shalt be his witness to 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.
