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).
A:According to Acts of the Apostles, Paul saw Jesus on the road to Damascus and was converted. He was blinded by a light, fell down and heard the voice of Jesus saying, "It hurts you to kick against the goad [or 'pricks']" (Acts 25:14). This is a quotation from theancient play known as Bacchae by Euripides (d. 406 BCE). The scene has parallels to the play and peculiarly has Jesus quote a Greek proverb to Paul while speaking Aramaic ("in the Hebrew language"). Paul was then taken, blind and helpless to Damascus, where he was taught the gospel. Paul himself never mentions this episode, and says that after his conversion, he went straight to Arabia. 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.
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).
Ananias, a disciple of Jesus, restored Paul's sight through a miraculous healing after his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus.
Paul was struck blind on the way to Damascus, and god spoke to him. And he was blind for three days. He then converted himself, and became Paul, from Saul.

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.

Book of Acts- Paul/Saul... This is also an amazing allusion to reincarnation...
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).

Nowhere. The only time Jesus met Paul was briefly on the road to Damascus after he (Jesus) was already dead and resurrected. And even then Jesus didn't take Paul anywhere, he sent him on to Damascus. Jesus took Paul into the dessert of Arabia. This is where God spent three years with Paul teaching him about the gospel and about His son Jesus. Paul had to go through this transformation before he could minister to the people ( Jews and Gentiles). Galatians 1:15-18
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!
