2And desired of him letters to Damascus to the Synagogues, that if he found any that were of that way (either men or women) hee might bring them bound vnto Hierusalem.
3Now as he iourneyed, it came to passe that as he was come neere to Damascus, suddenly there shined rounde about him a light from heauen.
4And hee fell to the earth, and heard a voyce, saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5And he sayd, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord sayd, I am Iesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kicke against pricks.
6He then both trembling and astonied, sayd, Lord, what wilt thou that I doe? And the Lord sayd vnto him, Arise and goe into the citie, and it shall be tolde thee what thou shalt doe.
7The men also which iourneyed with him, stood amased, hearing his voyce, but seeing no man.
8And Saul arose from the ground, and opened his eyes, but sawe no man. Then led they him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus,
9Where he was three dayes without sight, and neither ate nor dranke.

12(And he sawe in a vision a man named Ananias comming in to him, and putting his hands on him, that he might receiue his sight.)
