Acts 9:5 in context

The verses around it, from Acts 9.

1 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord. He approached the high priest

2 and requested letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women belonging to the Way, he could bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.

3 As Saul drew near to Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.

4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”

5 “Who are You, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” He replied.

6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice but did not see anyone.

8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see a thing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.

9 For three days he was without sight, and he did not eat or drink anything.
