3 So Saul went to Damascus. As he came near the city, a bright light from heaven suddenly flashed around him.
4 Saul fell to the ground. He heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul! Why are you doing things against me?”
5 Saul said, “Who are you, Lord?”The voice answered, “I am Jesus. I am the One you are trying to hurt.
6 Get up now and go into the city. Someone there will tell you what you must do.”
7 The men traveling with Saul stood there, but they said nothing. They heard the voice, but they saw no one.
8 Saul got up from the ground. He opened his eyes, but he could not see. So the men with Saul took his hand and led him into Damascus.
9 For three days Saul could not see, and he did not eat or drink.
