Jesus was saying to Paul, about not being able to resist the truth, that it was Jesus who knocked him off his horse, and is Lord, calling to him; And that he must go forth in obedience with the truth of Jesus.

The pricks are the evidences of truth.

If Saul(Paul)heard a voice speaking to him in the Hebrew tongue then he definitely did NOT hear any one identify himself as Jesus because that is Greek and is not a translation of the name of the leader of the sect of the Nazarenes, Yahshua. Rev 13 clearly tell us that there is a name of blasphemy. Now what could it possibly be? Paul and Barnabas were mistaken at one time for Zeus and Hermes. Zeus is the original source of the name Jesus. And the "WHOLE WORLD WAS MADE DRUNK WITH THE WINE OF HER FORNICATION" Rev. 17 P.S. Yahshua in ancient Greek is pronounced E-SHU-AUH.
