The Conversion of Saul

(Act 22:6–16; 26:12–18 )
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:1 - And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the disciples of the Lord, having gone to the chief priest,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:2 - did ask from him letters to Damascus, unto the synagogues, that if he may find any being of the way, both men and women, he may bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:3 - And in the going, he came nigh to Damascus, and suddenly there shone round about him a light from the heaven,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:4 - and having fallen upon the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, 'Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute?'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:5 - And he said, 'Who art thou, Lord?' and the Lord said, 'I am Jesus whom thou dost persecute; hard for thee at the pricks to kick;'

Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:13 - And Ananias answered, 'Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Thy saints in Jerusalem,
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:14 - and here he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Thy name.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:15 - And the Lord said unto him, 'Be going on, because a choice vessel to Me is this one, to bear My name before nations and kings -- the sons also of Israel;
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:16 - for I will shew him how many things it behoveth him for My name to suffer.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:17 - And Ananias went away, and did enter into the house, and having put upon him his hands, said, 'Saul, brother, the Lord hath sent me -- Jesus who did appear to thee in the way in which thou wast coming -- that thou mayest see again, and mayest be filled with the Holy Spirit.'
Unchecked Copy BoxAct 9:18 - And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, he saw again also presently, and having risen, was baptized,
