Who are you ,
Lord ?'
And the Lord said , `
I am Jesus whom you are persecuting .
*
But rise and stand upon your feet ;
for I have appeared to you for this purpose ,
to appoint you to serve and bear witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you ,
*

*
to open their eyes ,
that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God ,
that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me .'
* "

O King Agrippa ,
I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision ,
