14 And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
15 So I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
16 But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, ato make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you.  
17 I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, ato whom I now send you,  
18 ato open their eyes, in order bto turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, cthat they may receive forgiveness of sins and dan inheritance among those who are esanctified by faith in Me.’

20 but adeclared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do bworks befitting repentance.
