Then I returned to Damascus.

[5] As also the high priest and all the council of the elders testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and traveled to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished. [6] It happened that, as I made my journey, and came close to Damascus, about noon, suddenly there shone from the sky a great light around me. [7] I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?' [8] I answered, 'Who are you, Lord?' He said to me, 'I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.' [9] "Those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they didn't understand the voice of him who spoke to me. [10] I said, 'What shall I do, Lord?' The Lord said to me, 'Arise, and go into Damascus. There you will be told about all things which are appointed for you to do.' [11] When I couldn't see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus. [12] One Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus, [13] came to me, and standing by me said to me, 'Brother Saul, receive your sight!' In that very hour I looked up at him. [14] He said, 'The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth. [15] For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard. [16] Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.'

[12] "Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests, [13] at noon, O king, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled with me. [14] When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.' [15] "I said, 'Who are you, Lord?' "He said, 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. [16] But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen, and of the things which I will reveal to you; [17] delivering you from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you, [18] to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'
