Acts 26:14-18
New American Standard Bible
14 And when we had (A)all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the [a](B)Hebrew dialect, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? [b]It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ 15 And I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. 16 But get up and (C)stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to (D)appoint you as a (E)servant and (F)a witness not only to the things in which you have seen Me, but also to the things in which I will appear to you, 17 (G)rescuing you (H)from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, 18 to (I)open their eyes so that they may turn from (J)darkness to light, and from the [c]power of (K)Satan to God, that they may receive (L)forgiveness of sins and an (M)inheritance among those who have been sanctified by (N)faith in Me.’
