Acts 9:4: And he fell to the earth and heard a voice saying unto him Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me 5: And he said Who art thou Lord And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks 6: And he trembling and astonished said Lord, what wilt thou have me to do And the Lord said unto him, Arise and go into the city and it shall be told thee what thou must do. Jesus is God.
