On his journey, as he was nearing Damascus, a light from the sky suddenly flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” He said, “Who are you, sir?” The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Now get up and go into the city and
you will be told what you must do.”
(Acts 9:3-6)
The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, for they heard the voice but could see no one. Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing;
so they led him by the hand
and brought him to Damascus. For three days he was unable to see, and he neither ate nor drank. (Acts 9:7-9)
