Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase peri eme {περὶ ἐμέ | perí emé} uses peri with the accusative to depict the light encircling Paul himself, highlighting his central role in the visionary event. In English, the main narrative verb is brought forward (“it happened” or merged into the temporal clause) and the participles are rendered as finite temporal clauses (“as I was traveling,” “getting close”) to produce a smooth, natural flow while preserving the original sequence: situation, time, sudden heavenly source, and encompassing light.

But it happened to me, as I was traveling and drawing near to Damascus about noon, that suddenly from heaven a great light flashed around me.
