Saul, later known as the Apostle Paul, is traditionally believed to have gone blind on the road to Damascus around AD 34-36. This event is described in the New Testament, specifically in the Book of Acts, where he experiences a dramatic conversion after encountering a vision of Jesus. The exact year is not definitively established, but scholars generally place it in this timeframe.

Where did Sauls conversion take place?

A:Acts of the Apostles, written decades after Paul's death, provides a miraculous explanation, with three parallel but different stories in which Jesus appeared to Paul on the road to Damascus. These accounts of Paul's conversion appear to have been based on the ancient play of Euripedes called the Bacchae - in other words, they were not genuine records of Paul's conversion, a view borne out by differences in the three different accounts. In each account there was a blinding light, which appeared only to Paul in the version at Acts 9:3-8 and probably at Acts 26.13-19, but appeared to both Paul and his men at Acts 22:6-11. Paul alone heard the voice of Jesus from heaven at Acts 22:6-11 and probably at Acts 26.13-19, but both Paul and his men heard the voice at Acts 9:3-8.Paul himself never mentions any divine vision that led to his conversion; in fact his epistles seem to have ruled this out. His description of being called to be the apostle to the gentiles, taking into account the actual words used in the Greek language, suggest a change of heart rather than a miraculous conversion. In his Epistle to the Galatians, Paul said that after his conversion, he travelled to Arabia, and only then went to Damascus (bypassing Jerusalem). On this evidence, we could reasonably say that Jesus did not meet Paul on the road to Damascus.
