Near Damascus a voice says to Saul, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting”

다메섹 가까이에서 사울이 나는 네가 핍박하는 예수라 하시는 소리를 들음

Acts 9:1–9: Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, goes to the high priest and asks for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he finds any who are of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. As Saul travels, he gets close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shines around him. He falls on the earth and hears a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” He says, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord says, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. But rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told what you must do.” The men who travel with him stand speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one. Saul arises from the ground, and when his eyes are opened, he sees no one. They lead him by the hand and bring him into Damascus. He is without sight for three days, and neither eats nor drinks.
