* I am (5748 ) verily a man which am a Jew , born (5772 ) in Tarsus , a city in Cilicia , yet brought up (5772 ) in this city at the feet of Gamaliel , and taught (5772 ) according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers , and was (5723 ) zealous toward God , as ye all are (5748 ) this day . * And I persecuted (5656 ) this way unto the death , binding (5723 ) and delivering (5723 ) into prisons both men and women . * As also the high priest doth bear me witness (5719 ), and all the estate of the elders : from whom also I received (5666 ) letters unto the brethren , and went (5711 ) to Damascus , to bring (5694 ) them which were (5752 ) there bound (5772 ) unto Jerusalem , for to be punished (5686 ). * And it came to pass (5633 ), that , as I made my journey (5740 ), and was come nigh (5723 ) unto Damascus about noon , suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round (5658 ) about me . * And I fell (5627 ) unto the ground , and heard (5656 ) a voice saying (5723 ) unto me , Saul , Saul , why persecutest thou (5719 ) me ? * And I answered (5662 ), Who art thou (5748 ), Lord ? And he said (5627 ) unto me , I am (5748 ) Jesus of Nazareth , whom thou persecutest (5719 ). * And they that were (5752 ) with me saw (5662 ) indeed the light , and were (5633 ) afraid ; but they heard (5656 ) not the voice of him that spake (5723 ) to me . * And I said (5627 ), What shall I do (5661 ), Lord ? And the Lord said (5627 ) unto me , Arise (5631 ), and go (5737 ) into Damascus ; and there it shall be told (5701 ) thee of all things which are appointed (5769 ) for thee to do (5658 ). * And when I could not see (5707 ) for the glory of that light , being led by the hand (5746 ) of them that were (5752 ) with me , I came (5627 ) into Damascus . * And one Ananias , a devout man according to the law , having a good report (5746 ) of all the Jews which dwelt (5723 ) there , * Came (5631 ) unto me , and stood (5631 ), and said (5627 ) unto me , Brother Saul , receive thy sight (5657 ). And the same hour I looked up (5656 ) upon him . * And he said (5627 ), The God of our fathers hath chosen (5662 ) thee , that thou shouldest know (5629 ) his will , and see (5629 ) that Just One , and shouldest hear (5658 ) the voice of his mouth . * For thou shalt be (5704 ) his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen (5758 ) and heard (5656 ). * And now why tarriest thou (5719 )? arise (5631 ), and be baptized (5669 ), and wash away (5669 ) thy sins , calling on (5671 ) the name of the Lord .
