Acts 22:5 Context
3I am verely a man which am a Iew, borne in Tarsus a citie in Cilicia, yet brought vp in this citie at the feete of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect maner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous towards God, as ye all are this day. 4And I persecuted this way vnto the death, binding and deliuering into prisons both men and women, 5As also the high Priest doth beare me witnesse, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I receiued letters vnto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there, bound vnto Hierusalem, for to be punished. 6And it came to passe, that as I made my iourney, & was come nigh vnto Damascus about noone, suddenly there shone from heauen a great light round about me. 7And I fell vnto the ground, and heard a voice saying vnto mee, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
