Acts 9:5 in Context — Acts 9

3 Comme il était en chemin, et qu’il approchait de Damas, tout à coup une lumière venant du ciel resplendit autour de lui.

4 Il tomba par terre, et il entendit une voix qui lui disait: Saul, Saul, pourquoi me persécutes-tu?

5 Il répondit: Qui es-tu, Seigneur? Et le Seigneur dit: Je suis Jésus que tu persécutes.Il te serait dur de regimber contre les aiguillons.

6 Tremblant et saisi d’effroi, il dit: Seigneur, que veux-tu que je fasse? Et le Seigneur lui dit: Lève-toi, entre dans la ville, et on te dira ce que tu dois faire.

7 Les hommes qui l’accompagnaient demeurèrent stupéfaits; ils entendaient bien la voix, mais ils ne voyaient personne.
