"So I said,'Who are You, Lord ?' And He said, 'I am Jesus, whom
you are persecuting.
But arise and stand on your feet; For I have
appeared
to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a
witness
both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet
reveal
to you. I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the
Gentiles, to whom I now send you, to open their eyes and turn them from
darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive
forgiveness
of
sins
and an
inheritance
among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.'"
Acts 26:15-18 (NKJV) - The vision given to Paul (Then Saul)
