^3 (A)Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him.

Paul Tells of His Conversion

¹² “In this connection ^(A)I journeyed 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, brighter than the sun, that shone around me and those who journeyed with me.

⁸ Last of all, as to one untimely born, ^(A)he appeared also to me.

^6 (A)“As I was on my way and drew near to Damascus, about noon a great light from heaven suddenly shone around me.

²³ And the city ^(A)has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for ^(B)the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.

^16 (A)who alone has immortality, ^(B)who dwells in ^(C)unapproachable light, ^(D)whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.

¹⁷ So ^(A)Ananias departed and entered the house. And ^(B)laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came has sent me so that you may regain your sight and ^(C)be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

⁵ And ^(A)night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp ^(B)or sun, for ^(C)the Lord God will be their light, and ^(D)they will reign forever and ever.
