In context
1 But, Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, going unto the High-priest,
2 asked from him letters for Damascus, unto the synagogues; to the end that, if he should find, any, who were of The Way, whether men or women, he might bring them, bound, unto Jerusalem.
3 But, as he was journeying, it came to pass that he was drawing near unto Damascus, and, suddenly, there flashed around him a light out of heaven;
4 And, falling unto the earth, he heard a voice saying unto him—Saul! Saul! why, me, art thou persecuting?
5 And he said—Who art thou, Lord? And, he, [said] —I, am Jesus, whom, thou, art persecuting!
