What happened to Saul near Damascus?

• A. Jesus appeared to him in a great light, and Saul believed in Him.
• B. He heard a voice but saw no one.
• C. He was blinded for three days.
• D. He fled to Jerusalem in fear.

Answer: (A)

This moment tests Saul’s dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus. Jesus appears to him in a brilliant light from heaven, and Saul responds by placing his faith in Jesus as Lord. That combination—the visible, direct encounter with the risen Christ and Saul’s belief—best captures what happened there and why this scene marks his turning to follow Jesus. After this, Saul experiences blindness for a few days and later regains sight through Ananias, but the key takeaway is the appearance of Jesus and Saul’s belief in Him.
