I assume you refer to Paul (referred to as Saul before his conversion). Some Jews did hear and accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but the majority, especially the Jewish leaders, did not accept it. In fact they wanted nothing more than to kill and silence the prophets of Christ. Paul, an apostle, through direction from a vision, went and preached the Gospel to the Gentiles. (Jews believed Gentiles to be less superior and unable to obtain Gods mercy and grace because they weren't of the "chosen people"). This, of course, angered the Jews and made them want to silence these men even more. So, the answer is yes and no; some Jews chose to follow Christ through the disciple's teachings, but the majority did not.

Why did Saul change from Judaism to Christianity?

According to Luke, who travelled with Saul and wrote the book of Acts in the New Testament, in Acts 22 Saul addressed Jews and gave his defense for following Christ. Saul, also known a s Paul, was told by the risen Jesus that he would be the messenger to the Gentiles. Judaism was for the Jews and those who wished to be proselyted into the Jewish nation, but the prophets of Judaism told of a time when the Gentiles would be accepted by God fulfilling the promise made to Abraham, father of the Jews, that through his seed all nations would be blessed (Genesis 22:18).

What is a summary of Acts chapter 9 in the bible?

Saul seeks Christians in Damascus to being back to Jerusalem to persecute. A voice asks, 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?' , and tells him it is hard to prick against the goads (kicks). (Jesus is the farmer, Saul is the ox -- stubborn, yet being goaded in the right direction.) Saul is struck blind. His travelling companions do not hear anything. God tells Ananias to meet Saul, and where he can find him. Ananias lays hands on Saul, and the scales fall from his eyes. Saul is baptised. To everyone's amazement, Saul preaches in Damascus. The Jews plot to kill Saul, so he escapes in a basket over the walls of Damascus. Saul meets up with the initially wary Christians in Jerusalem, and disputes against the Hellenists. When the Hellenists try to kill him too, the Christians send Saul to Tarsus. The churches in Judea, Galilee and Samaria prosper. In Lydda, Peter heals Aeneas, who was bedridden with paralysis, so all Lydda believe. Peter raises Dorcas from Joppa from the dead. Peter stays with Simon, a tanner. (For a law-keeping Jew of that time, it was strictly forbidden to associate with anyone who routinely worked with dead animals.)
