What should I do, Lord

Because the brilliance of the light had blinded him, Paul’s companions led him by the hand into Damascus. There he would learn what he had been appointed to do, the persecutor now dependent on the kind of people he had come to arrest.

"And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do." "Enter into the city," it says, "and there it shall be spoken to thee of all that is appointed for thee to do." Lo! again another witness.
