Acts 26:9-13
New American Standard Bible
9 “So (A)I thought to myself that I had to act in strong opposition to (B)the name of Jesus [a]of Nazareth. 10 And this is [b]just what I (C)did in Jerusalem; not only did I lock up many of the [c]saints in prisons, after (D)receiving authority from the chief priests, but I also (E)cast my vote against them when they were being put to death. 11 And (F)as I punished them often in all the synagogues, I tried to force them to blaspheme; and since I was (G)extremely enraged at them, I kept pursuing them (H)even to [d]foreign cities.
12 “[e]While so engaged, (I)as I was journeying to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests, 13 at midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, [f]brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who were journeying with me.
