Original text and translations

Latin text Venit vox de caelo cum luce superna dicens: Saule, Saule Quid me persequeris? Durum est tibi contra stimulum calcitrare Respondit miles Quis es tu, Domine? Et vox desuper ait Ego sum Jesus quem tu persequeris

English translation A voice came from heaven with a divine light saying "Saul, Saul" Why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goad. The soldier responded "Who are you, Lord?" And a voice from above said "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting"
