How many accounts of Paul's conversion are there in Acts, and where are they found?
The book of Acts contains three accounts of Saul's conversion. They are found in Acts chapter 9, where Luke records the event; Acts chapter 22, where Paul rehearses it in the first person; and Acts chapter 26, where Paul again recounts it before King Agrippa.
Les explains that the book of Acts gives three accounts of Saul's conversion, found in chapters 9, 22, and 26. Chapter 9 is Luke's record; chapters 22 and 26 are Paul's own first-person rehearsals. In chapter 26, Paul speaks before King Agrippa, confessing he once thought he ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth, because he believed the message was making inroads into Judaism. Earlier in Acts, Saul was ruthless, entering every house, hailing men and women, and committing them to prison—all in the name of religion, thinking he was serving the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Les notes the three accounts underscore the importance of the number three throughout Scripture.
