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.
The two people Jesus appeared to on the road to Damascus were Saul (who later became known as the apostle Paul) and Ananias. Jesus appeared to Saul in a blinding light and spoke to him, causing him to become a believer and change his ways. Ananias was instructed by Jesus to go to Saul and heal him of his blindness.
No, Paul and Jesus never met while Jesus was still alive. It was after Jesus rose from the dead that Jesus appeared to Paul (See 1 Corinthians 15:8). While some people interpret Paul as having a vision on the road to Damascus (Acts 9 1-6), Paul himself insisted that Jesus appeared to him in his resurrected person in his written word (See 1 Corinthians 15:8).
Your question has two answers: Jesus appeared to two disciples on the road to Emmaus the day of His resurrection (Luke 24:13-15), and He appeared in spirit to Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:3-5).
King Saul and Jesus were not contemporaneous: Jesus died about 32 or 33AD but King Saul died about 1010BC. However, Paul the Apostle came from Tarsus and changed his name to 'Saul 'upon his conversion.
Ananias, a disciple of Jesus, restored Paul's sight through a miraculous healing after his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus.
In the bible it says saul meets jesus on the road to Damascus, and is blinded.
No one. The road to Damascus is where Saul of Tarsus was said to have converted to Christianity after a supposed vision of Jesus. He was then known as Paul. He then wrested control of founding Christianity's Simon Peter, whom Jesus had personally appointed.
Paul "saw" Jesus on the road to Damascus. (Acts 9:1-19)
No, Paul was not taught by Jesus during his ministry. Paul became a follower of Jesus after having a vision of him on the road to Damascus.
He was converted to Christianity on the road to Damascus with his encounter with Jesus Christ. Read the account in Luke 9:1-9.
The two people Jesus appeared to on the road to Damascus were Saul (who later became known as the apostle Paul) and Ananias. Jesus appeared to Saul in a blinding light and spoke to him, causing him to become a believer and change his ways. Ananias was instructed by Jesus to go to Saul and heal him of his blindness.
Book of Acts- Paul/Saul... This is also an amazing allusion to reincarnation...

There is no Bible verse that says that, because it is not true - Paul did meet Jesus on the road to Damascus. Acts 9:1-8Besides that, Paul could not be an apostle, had he never met Jesus, because his preaching would not have the same authority. Galatians 1:11-12 "But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man, for I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ"
Because if Jesus did not rise from the dead - then he did not return to send Paul on the 'road to Damascus' - this is why it is so important. No Resurrection = No commission = No Christianity!
Saul became Paul after experiencing a vision of Jesus on the road to Damascus, which led to his conversion to Christianity. Significant events that led to his transformation include his persecution of Christians prior to his conversion, his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, and his subsequent preaching and missionary work to spread the teachings of Christianity.
