Bible NIV, The Words of Jesus Christ

Acts

Chapter 26

{14} 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'

{15} "'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,'
{16} 'Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen of me and what I will show you.
{17} I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them
{18} to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'
