Animated Bible Story - Saul of Tarsus-New Testament

  • 4 years ago
Title: Saul of Tarsus

Saul of Tarsus, a Pharisee in Jerusalem after the crucifixion of Jesus swore to wipe out the Christians. He obtained letters from the high priest, authorizing him to arrest any followers of Jesus in the city of Damascus.

One day on the Road to Damascus, Saul and his companions were struck down by a blinding light. Saul heard a voice say, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" (Acts 9:4, NIV) When Saul asked who was speaking, the voice replied: "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." (Acts 9:5-6, NIV)


Saul was blinded. Unable to see his companions led him into Damascus to a man named Judas, on Straight Street. For three days, he didn't eat or drink.

Meanwhile, Jesus appeared in a vision to a disciple in Damascus named Ananias and told him to go to Saul. Ananias was afraid because he knew Saul's reputation as a merciless persecutor of Christians

Jesus repeated his command, explaining that Saul was his chosen instrument to deliver the gospel to the Gentiles, their kings, and the people of Israel. So Ananias found Saul prayed and laid hands on Saul, telling him Jesus had sent him to restore his sight and that Saul might be filled with the Holy Spirit. Scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could see again. He was baptized into the Christian faith. After his conversion, Saul changed his name to Paul, and became a disciple of Jesus.
