Acts 22

1  Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.

2  (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)

3  I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.

4  And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.

5  As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.

6  And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.

7  And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

8  And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

9  And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.

10  And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
