Acts 9:3-9
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
3 Now as he journeyed he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed about him. 4 And he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” 5 And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting;[a] 6 but rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.” 7 The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one. 8 Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. 9 And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. 6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”(C)
7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound(D) but did not see anyone.(E) 8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing.(F) So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.
