Ch. Paul's Conversion
§. 1: Sources
1.
Of Paul's conversion
five different accounts
viz.
1. Paul to Jerusalem –
note multitude (Acts XXII 6. to 21.)
2. Paul to King Agrippa
and Jestus at Cesarea
(Acts XXVI. 12. to 21)
3. Paul's to Corinthians
(II. Cor. XV. 8..)
4. Paul to Galatians.
(Gal. I. 15. to 25. 12. 15 to 17 12)
5. Acts account.
(Acts IX. 1. to 31. ao 35.
Unless supernaturally,
from Paul must other accounts
have been derived.
Per Acts, author accompanied
him in his
last recorded excursion.
2.
Most particular by
far the Acts account,
yet to those expressly ascribed
to Paul is precedence
here given.
3.
To Paul's own in his
Epistles, it would have
been given but that to
the Corinthians is but
an allusion: so that
to the Galatians: this
however is important
for the account of his
subsequent proceedings.

2. All, or any consistent?
3. Paul's allusion to Gospel
History ("I saw Jesus")

II Paul to Jerusalem multitude
(Acts XXII.
From Jerusalem Paul going
to Damascus with
commission from High
Priest and Elders to arrest
and bring to Jerusalem
Christians, (others unnamed
and unnumbered with him)
round him from heaven
shone a great light.
Neither then nor for days
afterwards saw he any body
or any thing but gt. light,
a voice he heard: his companions
saw the light
heard not the voice.
2.
Dialogue.
Voice, Saul, Saul, why persecutest
thou me?
Paul – Who art though Lord?
Voice. I am Jesus of Narzareth
whom thou persecutest
Paul. What shall I do Lord?
Voice. Arise and go to Damascus
and there it
shall behold thee of all
things which are appointed
for thee to do.
3.
By these companions Paul
led to Damascus blindfold
– "Fearing, yet no questions
ask they"

from bodies –
