1/2

 The Road to Damascus(Acts 9:1–6)

The disciples continued to be a witness for Jesus throughout Jerusalem,and many believed what they taught and joined them in their beliefs. Somereligious leaders, who had not believed in and followed Jesus, became jealous and had the apostles1 arrested and thrown in prison.

However, God sent His angels to free the apostles. You can read thatstory her e: “Miracles in the Bible: An Angel Opens Prison Doors for the

 Apostles.”One of the religious leaders, a Pharisee named Saul, was very angrywith the disciples and received permission from the high priest to go toDamascus to capture any who followed Jesus’ teachings.

When he neared Damascus, a light from heaven suddenly shone aroundSaul, causing him to fall off his horse. Saul heard a voice saying, “Saul,Saul, why do you persecute Me?”

Saul answered, “Who are you, Lord?” And the Lord said, “I am Jesuswhom you persecute.”

Trembling, Saul asked, “Lord, what should I do?” And the Lord said, “Arise, and go into Damascus, where you will be told

what to do.”

1 “Apostles” is the name Jesus gave to a select group of His disciples (Luke

6:13).
