So they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.

From them I received letters to the brothers, and I journeyed toward Damascus to take those also who were there and bring them in bonds to Jerusalem to be punished.“ As I was on my way and drew near to Damascus, about noon a great light from heaven suddenly shone around me.And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me,‘ Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’And I answered,‘ Who are you, Lord?’ And he said to me,‘ I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.’Now those who were with me saw the light but did not understand the voice of the one who was speaking to me.And I said,‘ What shall I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me,‘ Rise, and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all that is appointed for you to do.’And since I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me, and came into Damascus.
