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.
Jesus appeared to Saul (later known as the Apostle Paul) on the road to Damascus, where Saul was traveling to persecute Christians. This encounter led to Saul's conversion to Christianity and he became a key figure in spreading the teachings of Jesus.
The account of Jesus appearing to Saul on the road to Damascus is located in chapter 9 of Acts of the Apostles.
In the Book of Acts, chapter 9.
Paul.
Saul.
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.
The apostle Paul did not meet Jesus during his earthly ministry. Paul had a transformative encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus after Jesus' resurrection, which led to his conversion and becoming an influential figure in the early Christian church.
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).
Saul (who later became known as the apostle Paul) was in Jerusalem and played a role in the persecution of early Christians during the time Jesus was alive. He did not meet Jesus in person until after Jesus' death and resurrection on the road to Damascus.
Ananias, a disciple of Jesus, restored Paul's sight through a miraculous healing after his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus.
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.
In the bible it says saul meets jesus on the road to Damascus, and is blinded.
Paul "saw" Jesus on the road to Damascus. (Acts 9:1-19)
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!
He was blinded while on the road to Damascus.
