Another clear parallel between Acts and the Bacchae is when Paul is miraculously released from prison. Taken together, these accounts demonstrate that the source was a play, not actual events. Paul did not really meet Jesus on the road to Damascus.
The account of Jesus appearing to Saul on the road to Damascus is located in chapter 9 of Acts of the Apostles.
In the Book of Acts, chapter 9.
Paul.
Saul.
I believe it was the road to Emmaus. The Bible says it was Cleopas and another unnamed disciple.
Matthias was elected as a replacement for Judas. Paul was called directly by Jesus on the Damascus road.
Your question has two answers: Jesus appeared to two disciples on the road to Emmaus the day of His resurrection (Luke 24:13-15), and He appeared in spirit to Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:3-5).
No, Paul and Jesus never met while Jesus was still alive. It was after Jesus rose from the dead that Jesus appeared to Paul (See 1 Corinthians 15:8). While some people interpret Paul as having a vision on the road to Damascus (Acts 9 1-6), Paul himself insisted that Jesus appeared to him in his resurrected person in his written word (See 1 Corinthians 15:8).
Saul was on the road heading to Damascus in order to persecute Christians.
No one. The road to Damascus is where Saul of Tarsus was said to have converted to Christianity after a supposed vision of Jesus. He was then known as Paul. He then wrested control of founding Christianity's Simon Peter, whom Jesus had personally appointed.
In the bible it says saul meets jesus on the road to Damascus, and is blinded.
Paul "saw" Jesus on the road to Damascus. (Acts 9:1-19)
I believe it was the road to Emmaus. The Bible says it was Cleopas and another unnamed disciple.
He was converted to Christianity on the road to Damascus with his encounter with Jesus Christ. Read the account in Luke 9:1-9.
Book of Acts- Paul/Saul... This is also an amazing allusion to reincarnation...

There is no Bible verse that says that, because it is not true - Paul did meet Jesus on the road to Damascus. Acts 9:1-8Besides that, Paul could not be an apostle, had he never met Jesus, because his preaching would not have the same authority. Galatians 1:11-12 "But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man, for I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ"
Because if Jesus did not rise from the dead - then he did not return to send Paul on the 'road to Damascus' - this is why it is so important. No Resurrection = No commission = No Christianity!
He was blinded while on the road to Damascus.
