Jesus, the Christ: Appears to Paul (On the Road to Damascus)

As Saul drew near to Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. …

One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking; do not be silent.

Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will and to see the Righteous One and to hear His voice.

…and saw the Lord saying to me, ‘Hurry! Leave Jerusalem quickly, because the people here will not accept your testimony about Me.’

The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about Me in Jerusalem, so also you must testify in Rome.”

‘But get up and stand on your feet. For I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen from Me and what I will show you.

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you yourselves not my workmanship in the Lord?

And last of all He appeared to me also, as to one of untimely birth.
