Acts 26:12 in context

  1. 10I also did this in Jerusalem. I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.
  2. 11Punishing them often in all the synagogues, I tried to make them blaspheme. Being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
  3. 12“Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,
  4. 13at 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.
  5. 14When 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.’
