使徒行传26:13-20
26:13 王啊，約當正午，我在途中看見一道光，比太陽的光還要強烈，從天空照射在我和同行的人周圍。26:14 我們都仆倒地上。我聽見一個聲音，用希伯來話對我說：『掃羅，掃羅！你為甚麼迫害我？你像牛用腳踢主人的刺棒，反而傷了自己。』
26:15 我就問：『主啊，你是誰？』主說：『我是你所迫害的耶穌。
26:16 起來，站著。我向你顯現，是要指派你作我的僕人。你要見證今天所看見有關於我以及將來我要指示你的事。
26:17 我要從以色列人和外邦人手中救你出來，差遣你到他們中間去。
26:18 你要開啟他們的眼睛，使他們從黑暗轉向光明，從撒但權勢下歸向上帝，好使他們因信了我而蒙赦罪，並且在上帝的子民中有他們的地位。』」
保羅敘述他的工作
26:19 「因此，亞基帕王啊，我沒有違背從天上來的異象。
26:20 我先在大馬士革和耶路撒冷，然後在全猶太和外邦人當中勸勉他們必須悔改，歸向上帝，所作所為要符合他們悔改的心志。
Acts 26：12-20 (Amplified Bible)
13 When
on the road at midday, O king, I saw a light from heaven surpassing the
brightness of the sun, flashing about me and those who were traveling
with me.
14 And
when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice in the Hebrew
tongue saying to me, Saul, Saul, why do you continue to persecute Me [to
harass and trouble and molest Me]? It is dangerous and turns out badly for you to keep kicking against the goads [to keep offering vain and perilous resistance].
15 And I said, Who are You, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus, Whom you are persecuting.
16 But
arise and stand upon your feet; for I have appeared to you for this
purpose, that I might appoint you to serve as [My] minister and to bear
witness both to what you have seen of Me and to that in which I will
appear to you,
17 [a]Choosing you out [selecting you for Myself] and [b]delivering you from among this [Jewish] people and the Gentiles to whom I am sending you—
18 To
open their eyes that they may turn from darkness to light and from the
power of Satan to God, so that they may thus receive forgiveness and release from their sins and a place and portion among those who are consecrated and purified by faith in Me.
19 Wherefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision,
20 But
made known openly first of all to those at Damascus, then at Jerusalem
and throughout the whole land of Judea, and also among the Gentiles,
that they should repent and turn to God, and do works and live lives consistent with and worthy of their repentance.
