  1. 5As also the high priest and all the council of the elders testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and traveled to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.

  3. 7I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
  4. 8I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.’
