Peter Addresses the Crowd
Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say.
-
When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.
-
At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him,
-
He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
-
Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”
-
The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”
-
Then I heard a voice telling me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
-
“The voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’
-
When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, “Peter is at the door!”
-
They shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.”
-
I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’
-
My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to me.
-
Paul the Roman Citizen
The crowd listened to Paul until he said this. Then they raised their voices and shouted, “Rid the earth of him! He’s not fit to live!”
-
We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
