6. “But something happened to me on my way to Damascus. It was about noon when I came close to Damascus. Suddenly a bright light from heaven shined all around me.
7. I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’

9. The men who were with me did not understand the voice, but they saw the light.
