← Acts 26:13	Acts 26:14 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Acts 26:15 [words of Jesus] →
At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.	And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks.	And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
