3. As he was going along, approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
4. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
5. So he said, “Who are you, Lord?” He replied, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting!
6. But stand up and enter the city and you will be told what you must do.”
7. (Now the men who were traveling with him stood there speechless, because they heard the voice but saw no one.)
8. So Saul got up from the ground, but although his eyes were open, he could see nothing. Leading him by the hand, his companions brought him into Damascus.
9. For three days he could not see, and he neither ate nor drank anything.
10. Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias,” and he replied, “Here I am, Lord.”
