Acts 9:1-5

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

The Damascus Road

9 Now Saul was still breathing threats and murder against the disciples^(A) of the Lord. He went to the high priest^{(B) 2} and requested letters^(C) from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women who belonged to the Way,^(D) he might bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem. ³ As^(E) he travelled and was nearing Damascus, a light from heaven suddenly flashed around him. ⁴ Falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? ’

⁵ ‘Who are you, Lord? ’ Saul said.

‘I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting,’ he replied.
