Saul’s Conversion

Acts 9:3–9

As Saul neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

“Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.

“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied.

Later:

Saul of Tarsus became the apostle Paul later, an ardent missionary to an unbelieving world and a fine example of faithful service in the face of fierce persecution (Acts 14:19; 16:22–24; 2 Corinthians 11:25–26). Paul inspired writings cover a large portion of the New Testament, and it is safe to say that he remains one of the most read authors in human history.
