The Latin:
Et cum iter fáceret, cóntigit ut appropinquáret Damásco : et súbito circumfúlsit eum lux de cælo. Et cadens in terram audiúit úocem dicéntem sibi : Saule, Saule, quid me perséqueris ? Qui dixit : Quis es, dómine ? Et ille : Ego sum Iésus, quem tu perséqueris : durum est tibi contra stímulum calcitráre.
The English (Douay-Rheims):
And as he went on his journey, it came to pass that he drew nigh to Damascus; and suddenly a light from heaven shined round about him. And falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? Who said: Who art thou, Lord? And he: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
[Today, the Church celebrates the conversion of St. Paul. That's odI can't find that last sentence in the RSV.]
The Latin:
Viri Galilǽi, quid statis aspiciéntes in cælum ? Hic Iésus, qui assúmptus est a uóbis in cælum, sic uéniet quemádmodum uidístis eum eúntem in cælum.
The English:
Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, as you have seen him going into heaven.
