Acts 9

Saul travels toward Damascus intending to arrest believers, but the risen Jesus confronts him in heavenly light: ‘Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?’ Blinded and humbled, Saul is led into the city, where Ananias is sent to him. Saul regains sight, is baptized, and immediately preaches that Jesus is the Son of God. After escape from plots against his life and acceptance by the Jerusalem believers through Barnabas, the narrative returns to Peter healing Aeneas and raising Dorcas.
