3 As he was going along, approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
5 So he said, “Who are you, Lord?” He replied, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting!
6 But stand up and enter the city and you will be told what you must do.”
7 (Now the men who were traveling with him stood there speechless, because they heard the voice but saw no one.)
8 So Saul got up from the ground, but although his eyes were open, he could see nothing. Leading him by the hand, his companions brought him into Damascus.
9 For three days he could not see, and he neither ate nor drank anything.
