4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” 

5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. 6 “Now 

get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” 7 The men traveling with Saul 

stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. 8 Saul got up from the 

ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into 

Damascus. 9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.
