ACTS 26
NABRE
13 At midday, along the way, O king, I saw a light from the sky,
brighter than the sun, shining around me and my traveling
companions. 14 We all fell to the ground and I heard a voice saying
to me in Hebrew, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is
hard for you to kick against the goad.’ 15 And I said, ‘Who are
you, sir?’ And the Lord replied, ‘I am Jesus whom you are
persecuting. 16 Get up now, and stand on your feet. I have appeared
to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness of
what you have seen [of me] and what you will be shown.17 I shall
deliver you from this people and from the Gentiles to whom I send
you,
KJV
13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above
the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which
journeyed with me.
14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice
speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why
persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the
pricks.
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom
thou persecutest.
16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee
for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of
these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which
I will appear unto thee;
17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto
whom now I send thee,
