Around noon, King Agrippa, as I was on the way there, I saw a light coming from heaven. It was brighter than the sun, and it shone all around me and the people with me.
He held seven stars in his right hand. A sharp sword with two edges was coming out of his mouth. His face was like the sun shining in all its brightness.
We fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul! Saul! Why are you attacking me? You’re only hurting yourself when you resist me.’
