3As he was traveling, it happened that he was drawing near to Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.

4And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”

5And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.”

6But get up and enter the city, and you will be told what you must do.
