⁴and I persecuted this waye vnto the deeth byndynge and delyveringe into preson bothe men and wemen

⁵as the chefe prest doth beare me witnes and all the elders: of whom also I receaved letters vnto the brethren and wet to Damasco to bringe them which were there bounde vnto Ierusalem for to be punysshed.

⁶And it fortuned as I made my iorney and was come nye vnto Damasco aboute none that sodenly ther shone from heaven a greate lyght rounde aboute me

⁷and I fell vnto the erth and hearde a voyce sayinge vnto me: Saul Saul why persecutest thou me?

⁸And I answered: what arte thou Lorde? And he sayd vnto me: I am Iesus of Nazareth whom thou persecutest.
