Perhaps because of his later importance in the life of the early church, the Acts of the Apostles gives two detailed accounts of the Conversion of Paul (Acts 9:1-22; 22:3-16). Paul himself is more discrete. All that Paul ever says about the experience is “Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?" (1 Cor 9:1). Paul’s words echo the words of Mary Magdalene, “I have seen the Lord” (Jn 20:18). That experience changed Paul . . . and changed the church forever.
