More info:According to the account in Acts 9, Saul's journey to Damascus was almost complete when the Lord appeared to him.Acts 9:3 - As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. [NKJV]
Since Saul was blinded by the encounter, and had to be led "by the hand" the rest of the way by his companions (v.8), it seems to be a deliberate consideration on the part of the Lord, who could have struck Saul down at any point, that they did not have very far to go to complete their journey.
