Dan. 3:26• 26Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the opening of the burning fiery furnace; he spoke and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came forth from the midst of the fire. (Dan. 3:26)
Acts 22:3‑16• 3*I* am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, educated according to the exactness of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, as *ye* are all this day;
4who have persecuted this way unto death, binding and delivering up to prisons both men and women;
5as also the high priest bears me witness, and all the elderhood: from whom also, having received letters to the brethren, I went to Damascus to bring those also who were there, bound, to Jerusalem, to be punished.
6And it came to pass, as I was journeying and drawing near to Damascus, that, about mid-day, there suddenly shone out of heaven a great light round about me.
7And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
8And *I* answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, *I* am Jesus the Nazaraean, whom *thou* persecutest.
9But they that were with me beheld the light, and were filled with fear, but heard not the voice of him that was speaking to me.
10And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Rise up, and go to Damascus, and there it shall be told thee of all things which it is appointed thee to do.
11And as I could not see, through the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came to Damascus.
12And a certain Ananias, a pious man according to the law, borne witness to by all the Jews who dwelt there,
13coming to me and standing by me, said to me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And *I*, in the same hour, received my sight and saw him.
14And he said, The God of our fathers has chosen thee beforehand to know his will, and to see the just one, and to hear a voice out of his mouth;
15for thou shalt be a witness for him to all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
16And now why lingerest thou? Arise and get baptised, and have thy sins washed away, calling on his name. (Acts 22:3‑16)
Acts 26:9‑16• 9*I* indeed myself thought that I ought to do much against the name of Jesus the Nazaraean.
10Which also I did in Jerusalem, and myself shut up in prisons many of the saints, having received the authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my vote.
11And often punishing them in all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme. And, being exceedingly furious against them, I persecuted them even to cities out of our own land.
12And when, engaged in this, I was journeying to Damascus, with authority and power from the chief priests,
13at mid-day, on the way, I saw, O king, a light above the brightness of the sun, shining from heaven round about me and those who were journeying with me.
14And, when we were all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against goads.
15And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, *I* am Jesus whom *thou* persecutest:
16but rise up and stand on thy feet; for, for this purpose have I appeared to thee, to appoint thee to be a servant and a witness both of what thou hast seen, and of what I shall appear to thee in, (Acts 26:9‑16)
