Acts 26:14 in Context — Acts 26

12 C’est dans ce but que je me rendis à Damas, avec l’autorisation et la permission des principaux sacrificateurs.

13 Vers le milieu du jour, ô roi, je vis en chemin resplendir autour de moi et de mes compagnons une lumière venant du ciel, et dont l’éclat surpassait celui du soleil.

14 Nous tombâmes tous par terre, et j’entendis une voix qui me disait en langue hébraïque: Saul, Saul, pourquoi me persécutes-tu? Il te serait dur de regimber contre les aiguillons.

15 Je répondis: Qui es-tu, Seigneur? Et le Seigneur dit: Je suis Jésus que tu persécutes.

16 Mais lève-toi, et tiens-toi sur tes pieds; car je te suis apparu pour t’établir ministre et témoin des choses que tu as vues et de celles pour lesquelles je t’apparaîtrai.
