“What Shall I Do, Lord?” Acts 22:1-16

Act 22:1 Men, brothers and fathers! Hear my defense now to you. Act 22:2 And hearing that he spoke to them in the Hebrew dialect, they all the more kept silence. And he said, Act 22:3 I am truly a man, a Jew born in Tarsus in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the exactness of the Law of the fathers, being a zealous one of God, as you all are today. Act 22:4 I persecuted this Way as far as death, binding and delivering both men and women into prisons; Act 22:5 as also the high priest bears witness to me, and all the elderhood. And receiving letters from them to the brothers, I traveled into Damascus indeed to lead those being bound to Jerusalem, in order that they might be punished.

Act 22:6 And it happened to me, traveling and drawing near to Damascus: suddenly, about midday, a great light out of the heaven shone around me. Act 22:7 And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me? Act 22:8 And I answered, Who are you, lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute. Act 22:9 And they who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid. But they did not hear the voice of Him who spoke to me. Act 22:10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Arise and go into Damascus. And there it shall be told you all things which are appointed for you to do.

Act 22:11 And I did not see, because of the glory of that light; being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus. Act 22:12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the Law, testified to by all the Jews who lived there, Act 22:13 coming to me and standing by, said to me, Brother Saul, look up! And the same hour I looked up on him. Act 22:14 And he said, The God of our fathers has chosen you to know His will and to see the Just One, and to hear a voice out of His mouth. Act 22:15 For you shall be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard. Act 22:16 And now what do you intend? Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
