Conversion of the Fighting
Apostle
And Saul, yet
breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the
Lord, went unto the high priest, And desired of him letters to
Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether
they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. And
as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined
round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and
heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom
thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And
he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall
be told thee what thou must do.-Acts 9:1-6
