PAUL TELLS OF HIS CONVERSION.
ACTS 26:12-15...WHEREUPON AS I WENT TO DAMASCUS WITH AUTHORITY AND COMMISSION FROM THE CHIEF PRIESTS. 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 WHO THOU PERSECUTEST.
Paul said it was for this purpose that he went to Damascus with the authority and orders form the chief priests. He said that it was on the road at midday, that he saw a light much brighter than the sun shining from the sky around him and the men traveling with him. He said that all of them fell to the ground, and he heard a voice Say to him in the Hebrew language. Saul, Saul. Why are you persecuting me? You hurt yourself by hitting back. Like an ox kicking against its owner’s stick. And Paul said who are you, Lord. And the Lord said; I am Jesus, whom you persecute.
ACTS 26:16-17...BUT RISE, AND STAND UPON THY FEET; FOR I HAVE APPEARED UNTO THEE FOR THIS PURPOSE, TO MAKE THEE A MINISTER AND A WITNESS BOTH OF THESE THINGS WHICH THOU HAST SEEN, AND OF THOSE THINGS IN THE WHICH I WILL APPEAR UNTO THEE; DELIVERING THEE FROM THE PEOPLE, AND FROM THE GENTILES, UNTO THOM NOW I SEND THEE.
He said to Paul and stand on his feet, I have appeared to you to appoint you as my servant; your are to tell others what you have seen of me today, and what I will show you in the future. I will save you from the people of Israel and from the Gentiles, to whom I will send you.
ACTS 26:18...TO OPEN THEIR EYES, AND TO TURN THEM FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT, AND FROM THE POWER OF SATAN UNTO GOD, THAT THEY MAY RECEIVE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, AND INHERITANCE AMONG THE WHICH ARE SANCTIFIED BY FAITH THAT IS IN ME.
You are to open their eyes and turn them from the darkness to the light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that through their faith in me they will have their sins forgiven and receive their place among God’s chosen people.
