A companion Bible study from Vince Baker Ministries
What can Saul’s encounter teach about responding to Jesus?
Saul hears Jesus, receives a direction he can follow, and depends on other disciples as he begins a changed life.
Read the passage in context
- Acts 9:1–19 · KJV
This title turns the conversion story toward the question of obedience. Compare Acts 9 with Paul’s later recollection in Acts 22:6–16.
From the passage to daily life
Saul does not receive the whole course of his ministry at once. He receives a place to go and later receives help from Ananias.
