Acts 9:1-3

Revised Geneva Translation

9 And Saul, still breathing out threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the High Priest,

² and asked for letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the Way, (either men or women) he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

³ Now as he journeyed, it so happened that as he drew near to Damascus, there suddenly shone around him a light from Heaven.
