Acts of the Apostles

Paul is undergoes a conversion on the road to Damascus. Paul was travelling to a high priest in Damascus to conspire against the 'disciples of the Lord' when he suddenly saw a light from heaven flash around him and fell to the ground. He then heard the voice of Jesus asking <span class='Jesus'>Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?</span> Saul travelled on to Damascus where he recovered from blindness and was baptized. See <a href='/bible/holy-bible/Acts-9.html#1'>Acts 9:1-19</a>. Paul also describes the incident to king Agrippa in <a href='/bible/holy-bible/Acts-26.html#12'>Acts 26:12-20</a>.

The Acts of the Apostles tells of Jesus' ascension to heaven and the formation of the Christian church in the the Roman empire of the 1st century AD. It ends with Apostle Paul's imprisonment in Rome. Acts is the second book of the two-volume Luke–Acts work.
