Where was saul converted to a follower of Jesus?

Answer 1

Saul had a vision on the way to Damascus and Jesus spoke to him. Jesus appointed Saul as His servant to take the gospel to the gentiles.

The story of Saul's conversion is found in Acts 9:3-8. The story is told again in acts when Paul is reported talking to King Agrippa: Acts 26.

Answer 2

Paul gave us an account of his conversion in Galatians 1:15-17:
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood, neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia and returned again unto Damascus.
Scholars see significance in the phrase "to reveal his Son in [Greek: en] me" rather than the more obvious "to reveal his Son to me". Whereas "to me" would suggest a revelation to Paul, "in me" suggests a mission for Paul, who already knew Jesus. Some interpret that as meaning that Paul had already been a Christian, and that he had only been persecuting those who sought to introduce uncircumcised gentiles, or 'heathens', to Christianity, which was still regarded as very much a sect of Judaism. Regardless of this theory, it would appear that Paul was not blinded at all, since he embarked on a long journey to Arabia, and he claims not to have gone to Damascus to be cured of blindness or taught the gospel.

Acts of the Apostles tells a very different story. By use of repetition, the author makes it clear that he believed that Paul was indeed blinded by a divine light and heard a voice commanding him not to persecute the Christians, went immediately to Damascus, was cured by the disciple Ananius, "conferred with flesh and blood" to learn the gospel, and did not go to Arabia.

Exactly what caused Paul or Saul to convert to Christianity is not as clear cut as students of Actssometimes assume. It must be remembered that Acts was written long after the time of Paul and not considered to be an accurate account.

Answer 3

Saul was converted to a follower of Jesus on the road to Damascus, where he experienced a blinding light and heard the voice of Jesus, leading to his transformation from a persecutor of Christians to one of the most influential figures in early Christianity.

Answer 4

Saul, later to be know as Paul the Apostles was converted to Jesus on the road from Jerusalem to Damascus. The Lord Jesus Christ appeared to him at that time. see the Book of Acts 9:1-19.
