For this reason
the Jews
seized me
in the temple,
and
tried
to kill me.

"What is it,
Mein kinder."

***********************
I journeyed
to Damascus....
at midday...
I saw on the way
a light from Heaven,
brighter than the sun,
shining round me...
And when we had
all fallen
to the ground,
I heard a
Voice
saying to me
in the
Hebrew language,
'Saul, Saul,
why do you
presecute
Me?
It hurts you
to kick against
the goads.'
And I said,
Who are you, Lord?
And the Lord said,
I am Jesus.
[Acts 26:12-15]
