Paul the apostle

Ananias of Damascus restores the sight of saint Paul Paul the Apostle also known as Saul of Tarsus, is perhaps the most influential early Christian missionary.

According to the writings in the New Testament, Paul was known as Saul prior to his conversion, and was dedicated to the persecution of the early disciples of Jesus in the area of Jerusalem. While traveling from Jerusalem to Damascus on a mission to "bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem", the resurrected Jesus appeared to him in a great light. Saul was struck blind, but after three days his sight was restored by Ananias of Damascus, and Paul began to preach that Jesus of Nazareth is the Jewish Messiah and the Son of God.

Before and After being blind by Jesus Killing hundreds of people Is one of them

His name In the book of Acts, when he had the vision that led to his conversion on the Road to Damascus, Jesus called him "Saul, Saul", in the Hebrew tongue, and later, in a vision to Ananias of Damascus, "the Lord" referred to him as "Saul, of Tarsus".[24] When Ananias came to restore his sight, he called him "Brother Saul". Along with being ethnically Jewish, Paul was born a Roman citizen. His given name was perhaps after the biblical king Saul, a fellow Benjamite and the first king of Israel.
