Filled with fear, and almost blinded by the intensity of the light, the companions of Saul heard a voice, but saw no man. But Saul understood the words that were spoken, and to him was clearly revealed the One who spoke --even the Son of God. In the glorious Being who stood before him he saw the Crucified One. Upon the soul of the stricken Jew the image of the Saviour's countenance was imprinted forever. The words spoken struck home to his heart with appalling force. Into the darkened chambers of his mind there poured a flood of light, revealing the ignorance and error of his former life and his present need of the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.

Opfyldte af skræk og næsten blindede på grund af det voldsomme lys hørte Sauls rejsefæller røsten, men så ingen. Men Saulus forstod de ord, som var talt, og for ham åbenbaredes tydeligt, hvem det var, som talte: Guds egen Søn. I den strålende skikkelse, som stod for ham, genkendte han den korsfæstede. Billedet af Frelserens ansigt stod for evigt prentet i den skrækslagne jødes sjæl. De ord, som blev talt, ramte hans hjerte med forfærdende kraft. Lyset strømmede ind i hans formørkede sind og åbenbarede dér hans tidligere livs uvidenhed og vildfarelser og hans nuværende behov for Helligåndens oplysning.
