Acts 22:5-11 as the high priest and all the council of elders can testify. It was from them that I got letters to the brotherhood at Damascus, and then journeyed thither to bind those who had gathered there and bring them back to Jerusalem for punishment.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ as the high priest and all the council of elders can testify. It was from them that I got letters to the brotherhood at Damascus, and then journeyed thither to bind those who had gathered there and bring them back to Jerusalem for punishment. ⁶ Now as I neared Damascus on my journey, suddenly about noon a brilliant light from heaven flashed round me. ⁷ I dropped to the earth and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?' ⁸ 'Who are you?' I asked. He said to me, 'I am Jesus the Nazarene, and you are persecuting me.' ⁹ (My companions saw the light, but they did not hear the voice of him who talked to me.) ¹⁰ I said, 'What am I to do?' And the Lord said to me, 'Get up and make your way into Damascus; there·you shall be told about all you are destined to do.' ¹¹ As I could not see owing to the dazzling glare of that light,. my companions took my hand and so I reached Damascus.
