Original text and translations

Latin text

Saule, Saule, quid me persequeris?
Qui dixit:
Quis es Domine?

Et ille:
Ego sum Jesus Nazarenus quem tu persequeris.
Durum est tibi contra stimulum calcitrare.

Sancte Paule apostole,
predicator veritatis et doctor gentium,
intercede pro nobis ad Dominum
qui te elegit ut digni efficiamur gratia Dei.
