Acts 26:12-18

MLV(i) 12 In which I also traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the high-priests. 13 On the road in the middle of the day, O king, I saw a light from heaven beyond the brilliance of the sun, having shone around me and those who traveled together with me. 14 Now when all had fallen down to the earth, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is harsh for you to kick against the cattle-prods.
15 But I said, Who are you, Lord?
But the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. 16 But rise up and stand upon your feet; for to this end I have appeared to you, to assign you to be an attendant and a witness both of the things which you have seen, and of the things which will be seen by you. 17 I will be liberating you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, 18 to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of the Adversary to God, in order for them to receive forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance among those who have been made holy in faith, the faith in me.
