6 “As I made my journey and came close to Damascus, about noon suddenly a great light shone around me from the sky. Acts 22:6WEB

17 “When I had returned to Jerusalem and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance Acts 22:17WEB

26 When the centurion heard it, he went to the commanding officer and told him, “Watch what you are about to do, for this man is a Roman!” Acts 22:26WEB
27 The commanding officer came and asked him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” He said, “Yes.” Acts 22:27WEB
28 The commanding officer answered, “I bought my citizenship for a great price.” Paul said, “But I was born a Roman.” Acts 22:28WEB
29 Immediately those who were about to examine him departed from him, and the commanding officer also was afraid when he realized that he was a Roman, because he had bound him. Acts 22:29WEB
30 But on the next day, desiring to know the truth about why he was accused by the Jews, he freed him from the bonds and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them. Acts 22:30WEB
