ATTACHMENT II

Accounts of Paul's alleged vision on the road to Damascus (KJV):

Acts 9:3-9: And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven. And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" And Paul said, "Who art thou, Lord?" And the Lord said. "I am Jesus whom thou persecutest." Paul, trembling and astonished said, "Lord, what wilt thou have me do?" And the Lord said unto him. "Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do." And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. Saul (Paul) arose from the earth, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus. And he was three days without sight, during which neither did he eat nor drink.

Acts 22:6-11: It came about that as I was approaching Damascus, a very bright light suddenly flashed from the heaven all around me. And I fell to the ground as I heard a voice saying to me, "Saul, Saul why persecutest thou me?" I answered, "Who art thou?" He said to me, "I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest." They that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake unto me. I said, "What shall I do, Lord?" He said unto me "Arise, and go into Damascus. There it shall be told thee what to do." And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being lead by the hand into Damascus.

Acts 26:12-18: As I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priest, I saw a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round me and those who were journeying with me. And when we fell all to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me in Hebrew, "Saul, Saul why persecutest thou me? It is hard to kick against the pricks." And I replied, Who art thou, Lord?" He said. "I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But arise, I have appeared unto thee to appoint thee a minister and a witness not only to the things which thou have seen, but also to the things which I will appear to thee; delivering thee from the people and from the Gentiles, unto whom I now send thee, to open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith in me.
