Acts of the Apostles 26:13-18
13
at noon, O king, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled with me.
14
When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'
15
"I said, 'Who are you, Lord?' "He said, 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
16
But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen, and of the things which I will reveal to you;
17
delivering you from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
18
to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'
