Did many people get angry when St. Paul preached God's word?
A:Yes. In 2 Corinthians chapter 11, Paul describes how he was beaten with rods. When he first went to Damascus, he was lowered down a wall in a basket to escape the governor, who was furious at him for converting Gentiles. Acts of the Apostles chapter 9, written some decades later, mirrors Paul's account, saying that when Paul first went to Damascus, he was lowered down a wall in a basket to escape the Jews, who were furious at him for converting Jews.

What story in the Bible tells about the first persecution of Paul?
A:Paul lists many hardships and persecutions, for example in 2 Corinthians chapter 11, but does not tell us just when he was first persecuted. In 2 Corinthians 11:32-33 he tells how the pagan governor of Damascus sought to apprehend him, but he escaped from the soldiers by being let down from a window in a basket. There is a very similar, yet different story in Acts 9:23-25 of the persecution of Paul in Damascus. Here, it is the Jews who sought to kill Paul, and he escaped from them by being let down from a window in a basket.This contradiction has traditionally been resolved by accepting the priority of the account in Acts of the Apostles, which means that Acts 9:23-25 tells the story of the first persecution of Paul as a Christian.Modern New Testament scholars no longer regard Acts as a reliable history and say that whenever there is a difference between the account of Paul and a similar account in Acts, Paul's account should be preferred. On this view, the story in Acts should be disregarded in favour of Paul's story in 2 Corinthians. Paul includes his story of his escape from Damascus at the end of a long list of adventures and does not say this was the first attempt to harm him, although this is possible. He went to Damascus twice, the first time immediately after his journey to Arabia and, unless he had reason to believe he was no longer in danger in Damascus, his escape must have taken place on his second visit. King Aretas was ceded administration of Damascus in 37 CE and died some time between that year and 39 CE, so Paul's escape must have taken place during this time period, although his arrival in Damascus on this occasion was three years earlier.
Towards which city was Saul traveling when he encountered a light from heaven?
Acts 9 [Full Chapter][ The Damascus Road: Saul Converted ] Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven.

Who did Jesus meet on road to Damascus?
A:According to Acts of the Apostles, Paul saw Jesus on the road to Damascus and was converted. He was blinded by a light, fell down and heard the voice of Jesus saying, "It hurts you to kick against the goad [or 'pricks']" (Acts 25:14). This is a quotation from theancient play known as Bacchae by Euripides (d. 406 BCE). The scene has parallels to the play and peculiarly has Jesus quote a Greek proverb to Paul while speaking Aramaic ("in the Hebrew language"). Paul was then taken, blind and helpless to Damascus, where he was taught the gospel. Paul himself never mentions this episode, and says that after his conversion, he went straight to Arabia. 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.
