3 As Saul was coming near the city of Damascus, a light from heaven suddenly flashed around him.
4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?”
5 Saul asked, “Who are you, sir?”The person replied, “I’m Jesus, the one you’re persecuting.
6 Get up! Go into the city, and you’ll be told what you should do.”
7 Meanwhile, the men traveling with him were speechless. They heard the voice but didn’t see anyone.
8 Saul was helped up from the ground. When he opened his eyes, he was blind. So his companions led him into Damascus.
9 For three days he couldn’t see and didn’t eat or drink.
