Acts 22:6 in Context — Acts 22

4 Que he perseguido este camino hasta la muerte, prendiendo y entregando en cárceles hombres y mujeres:

5 Como también el príncipe de los sacerdotes me es testigo, y todos los ancianos; de los cuales también tomando letras á los hermanos, iba á Damasco para traer presos á Jerusalem aun á los que estuviesen allí, para que fuesen castigados.

6 Mas aconteció que yendo yo, y llegando cerca de Damasco, como á medio día, de repente me rodeó mucha luz del cielo:

7 Y caí en el suelo, y oí una voz que me decía: Saulo, Saulo, ¿por qué me persigues?

8 Yo entonces respondí: ¿Quién eres, Señor? Y me dijo: Yo soy Jesús de Nazaret, á quien tú persigues.
