AD 34 · Early Church
The conversion of Saul on the Damascus road
Still breathing threats, Saul was met by the risen Jesus on the road to Damascus: Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? (Acts 9:4).
📖 Acts 9:1–3
1Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord. He approached the high priest 2and requested letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women belonging to the Way, he could bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem. 3As Saul drew near to Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
