Acts 22:7 CPDV

⁵  just as the high priest and all those greater by birth bear witness to me. Having received letters from them to the brothers, I journeyed to Damascus, so that I might lead them bound from there to Jerusalem, so that they might be punished.

⁶  But it happened that, as I was traveling and was approaching Damascus at midday, suddenly from heaven a great light shone around me.

⁷  And falling to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?'

⁸  And I responded, 'Who are you, Lord?' And he said to me, 'I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.'

⁹  And those who were with me, indeed, saw the light, but they did not hear the voice of him who was speaking with me.
