conversion · 34 · Damascus
On the road to Damascus, breathing threats against the disciples, Saul was thrown down by a light from heaven and a voice: why do you persecute me? Led blind into the city, he was healed and baptized by Ananias. The church's fiercest enemy became its greatest missionary — half the map of this site is his footprints.
The conversion of Paul the Apostle was, according to the New Testament, an event in the life of Saul/Paul the Apostle that led him to cease persecuting early Christians and to become a follower of Jesus.
The persecutor becomes the apostle to the nations.
