Acts 26:11-14 And I punished them often in every synagogue; I compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly furious against them, I persecuted them even to the outside cities.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ And I punished them often in every synagogue; I compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly furious against them, I persecuted them even to the outside cities. ¹² In which pursuit also traveling to Damascus with authority and power of decision from the chief priests, ¹³ at midday, along the highway, O king, I and those with me saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun; shining around me. ¹⁴ And all of us falling to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew dialect, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.
