Acts 9:1-9
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
While Saul Is Going To Damascus To Persecute Believers, Jesus Appears To Him
9 Now Saul, still breathing threat and murder against the disciples of the Lord, having gone to the high priest, 2 asked-for letters from him to the synagogues at Damascus so that if he found any being of the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3 And during the proceeding, it came about that he was drawing-near to Damascus. And suddenly a light from heaven flashed-around him. 4 And having fallen on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” 5 And he said, “Who are You, sir[a]?” And the One said, “I am Jesus Whom you are persecuting. 6 But arise and enter into the city, and it will be told you what thing you must do”. 7 And the men traveling-with him were standing speechless[b], hearing the voice[c] but seeing no one. 8 And Saul was raised[d] from the ground. And his eyes having been opened, he was seeing nothing. And hand-leading him, they brought him into Damascus. 9 And he was not seeing for three days. And he did not eat nor drink.
