Acts 22:5-11 The high priest and all the elders can so testify about me, for it was from them that I received letters to go to the brethren at Damascus, to bring those who were there bound to Jerusalem to be punished.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ The high priest and all the elders can so testify about me, for it was from them that I received letters to go to the brethren at Damascus, to bring those who were there bound to Jerusalem to be punished. ⁶ And it came to pass as I drew near to Damascus, at about noon, suddenly a great light from heaven shone round about me. ⁷ And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? ⁸ And I answered and said, Who are you, my LORD? And he said to me, I am Jesus of NazÆa-reth, whom you persecute. ⁹ And the men who were with me saw the light, but they did not hear the voice that spoke to me. ¹⁰ And I said, What shall I do, my LORD? And our LORD said to me, Arise, and go into Da-masÆcus; and there it shall be told to you all things which are appointed for you to do. ¹¹ And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Da-masÆcus.
