“As he was going along, approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.”
“And as he went on his journey, it came to pass that he drew nigh to Damascus. And suddenly a light from heaven shined round about him.”
“And while he was journeying, he came near Damascus; and suddenly he saw a light from heaven shining round him;”

But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
and asked of him letters to Damascus unto the synagogues, that if he found any that were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus: and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven:
and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:
but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
