Acts 9:1-3

New Century Version

Saul Is Converted

9 In Jerusalem Saul was still threatening the followers of the Lord by saying he would kill them. So he went to the high priest ² and asked him to write letters to the synagogues in the city of Damascus. Then if Saul found any followers of Christ’s Way, men or women, he would arrest them and bring them back to Jerusalem.

³ So Saul headed toward Damascus. As he came near the city, a bright light from heaven suddenly flashed around him.
