Acts 26:9-16

Etheridge(i) 9 For I, at the first, proposed in my mind to do many things against the name of Jeshu Natsroya. 10 This I also did in Urishlem. And many holy ones I cast into the house of the bound, by the authority which I had received from the great priests; and when they were killed by them, I participated with those who condemned them. 11 And in every synagogue I was furious against them, while I constrained them to blaspheme the name of Jeshu; and, being filled with great wrath against them, I went forth unto other cities also to persecute them. 12 And while going on this account to Darmsuk, with authority and permission from the great priests, 13 at the dividing of the day, in the way, I saw from heaven, O king, shining upon me and upon all who were with me, a light which (was) more excellent than the sun. 14 And we fell all of us upon the earth; and I heard a voice that said to me in Hebrew, Shaol, Shaol, why persecutest thou me? [Shaol, Shaol, mono rodeph ath li?] It is hard to thee to kick against the pricks! 15 And I said, Who art thou, my Lord? And he said, I am Jeshu Natsroya, whom thou persecutest. 16 And he said to me, Stand upon thy feet, because for this I have appeared to thee, to appoint thee a minister and witness of that (for) which thou hast seen me, and (for) which thou shalt see me.
