Heading down to Damascus Saul proceeds to persecute Christians.
Breathing slaughter to the end, he’s going to find everyone who is of this Way.
Suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him
He fell to the earth and heard a voice say to him
Saul, Saul, Why do you persecute me … and he said Who are you Lord?
I AM Jesus who you persecute; It is hard for you to kick against the pricks.
And he trembling and astonished said Lord what will you have me to do?
And the Lord said unto him: Arise and go into the city…
And it shall be told what you must do.
Saul rose from the earth and when his eyes were opened…
He saw no man He saw no man
Brought to Damascus where he was without sight for three days no food no drink
Ananias given vision what to do…..
Arise and go into the street which is called Straight…
Inquire in the house of Judas for the one called Saul of Tarsus.
For behold he prays and has seen a vision
Ananias coming and putting his hand on him.
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales and he received his sight
Baptized and strengthened with the meat he received,
Saul stayed certain days with the disciples at Damascus…
And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues
that He is the Son, that He is the Son of God!
Lovely and glorifies our Lord, the Son of God!
