He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”他倒在地上,听见有声音对他说:“扫罗!扫罗!你为什么迫害我?”

“Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. 他说:“主啊,你是谁?”那声音说:“我就是你所迫害的耶稣。

9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.一连三天,扫罗什么也看不见,也不吃也不喝。
