Acts 9:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ Now as he traveled on, he came near to Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him,

⁴ And he fell to the ground. Then he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me [harassing, troubling, and molesting Me]?

⁵ And Saul said, Who are You, Lord? And He said, I am Jesus, Whom you are persecuting. ^[a]It is dangerous and it will turn out badly for you to keep kicking against the goad [to offer vain and perilous resistance].
