Acts 26 📜 📕 ↷
12 Among which things whiles I went to Damascus with authority and permission of the chief priests,📜💬📚
13 at mid-day, in the way, I saw (o King) from Heaven a light to have shined round about me and them that were in company with me, above the brightness of the sun.📜💬📚
14 And when all we were fallen down on the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the prick.📜💬📚
15 And I said: Who are thou Lord? And our Lord answered: I am JESUS whom thou doest persecute.📜💬📚
16 But rise up and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared to thee, that I may ordain thee a minister and witness of those things which thou hast seen, and of those things wherein I will appear to thee,📜💬📚
17 delivering thee out of the peoples and nations unto the which now I send thee,📜💬📚
18 to open their eyes, that they may be converted from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins, and lot among the saints by the faith that is in me.📜💬📚
19 Whereupon, king Agrippa, I was not incredulous to the heavenly vision:📜💬📚
20 but to them first that are at Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and unto all the country of Jewry, and to the Gentiles did I preach that they should do penance, & turn to God, doing works worthy of penance.📜💬📚
21 For this cause the Jews, when I was in the temple, apprehending me, attempted meaning to kill me.📜💬📚
22 But aided by the help of God, I stand until this day, testifying to small & to great, saying nothing beside those things which the Prophets did speak should come to pass, & Moyses;📜💬📚
23 if CHRIST were passible, if the first of the resurrection from the dead, he were to shew light to the people and to the Gentiles.📜💬📚
