ACV(i)
12 And during which, while going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests,
13 at midday, O king, I saw on the road a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, which shone around me and those who went with me.
14 And when we all fell to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me, and saying in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why do thou persecute me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goads.
15 And I said, Who are thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecute.
16 But arise, and stand upon thy feet, for I appeared to thee for this, to appoint thee an assistant and a witness both of things that thou saw, and of the things that I will make visible to thee,
17 delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send thee,
18 to open their eyes to turn about from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, for them to receive remission of sins and a lot among those who have been sanctified by faith in me.
