em, all the Jews do know: 26:5. Having known me from the beginning (if they will give testimony) that according to the most sure sect of our religion I lived, a Pharisee. 26:6. And now for the hope of the promise that was made by God to the fathers, do I stand subject to judgment: 26:7. Unto which, our twelve tribes, serving night and day, hope to come. For which hope, O king, I am accused by the Jews. 26:8. Why should it be thought a thing incredible that God should raise the dead? 26:9. And I indeed did formerly think that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 26:10. Which also I did at Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority of the chief priests. And when they were put to death, I brought the sentence. 26:11. And oftentimes punishing them, in every synagogue, I compelled them to blaspheme: and being yet more mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities. 26:12. Whereupon, when I was going to Damascus with authority and permission of the chief priest, 26:13. 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 that were in company with me. 26:14. And when we were all fallen down on the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the good. 26:15. And I said: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord answered: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. 26:16. But rise up and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared to thee, that I may make thee a minister and a witness of those things which thou hast seen and of those things wherein I will appear to thee, 26:17. Delivering thee from the people and from the nations unto which now I send thee: 26:18. To open their eyes, that they may be converted from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a lot among the saints, by the faith that is in me. 26:19. Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not incredulous to the heavenly vision. 26:20. But to them first that are at Damascus and at Jerusalem, and unto all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles did I preach, that they should do penance and turn to God, doing works worthy of penance. 26:21. For this cause, the Jews, when I was in the temple, having apprehended me, went about to kill me. 26
