Answer

This is a question that requires comparing scripture with scripture for better clarity. Jesus spoke to Saul in Acts 9:4 "...Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?". In Matthew 25:40 Jesus says "...verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me"; and Ephesians 5:30 " For we are members of his flesh, and of his bones".

Jesus was thus informing Saul that his "threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord" (Acts 9:1) was in fact being done to Him and "I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake" (Acts 9:16).

Saul's blindness was healed and he began preaching the good news about Jesus.

This was the commissioning of Saul to begin preaching Jesus to people full time.
