12. Whereupon as I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests,
13. at midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them that journeyed with me.
14. And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying unto me in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
15. And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
