Immediately afterward, Jerusalem’s believers face severe persecution as Saul drags men and women from their homes and imprisons them. Seeking authorization from the high priest, Saul travels to Damascus with letters to arrest Jesus’ followers. On the road, a radiant heavenly light and Jesus’ voice confront him, question his persecution, and direct him to enter the city to receive instruction.","158 The Conversion of Saul  \nActs 6:3,5; Acts 7:57-9:31  \nEnglish Spiritual  \n158 The Conversion of Saul  \nEnglish  \n© 2020 Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc.  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

Saul dragged believers, both men and women, from their homes, and put them into prison.  \nThen Saul went to the high priest and asked for letters addressed to the synagogues of Damascus. He wanted permission to arrest Jesus’ followers and bring them to Jerusalem tobe put in prison.  \nSo Paul traveled to Damascus. But when he was just outside the city, a very bright light from heaven shone around him.  \nHe fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him,“Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”Saul said,“Who are you, Lord?”  \nThe voice said,“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. But get up, and enter into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”","cbCainYrQO6O6SsZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainYrQO6O6SsZ","pdf",5280441,4,1,31,"English","en",105,"# Saul’s persecution\n## Stephen’s stoning and Saul’s authority\n## Letters to Damascus and arrests\n# The road to Damascus\n## The heavenly light and the voice\n## Entering the city for instruction","[{\"question\":\"How does Saul become involved after Stephen is stoned?\",\"answer\":\"When Stephen is stoned, witnesses leave their cloaks in the care of a young man named Saul, and Saul becomes closely connected to what follows.\"},{\"question\":\"What actions does Saul take against believers?\",\"answer\":\"Saul begins persecuting believers in Jerusalem, dragging both men and women from their homes and putting them into prison.
