Paul's conversion is detailed three times in the book of Acts: chapter 9, chapter 22, and chapter 26. In Acts 22, Paul rehearses his salvation experience before a Jewish crowd in Jerusalem while under Roman protective custody, recounting the road to Damascus and his later temple vision.

Les explains that in Acts 22 Paul is speaking to a great Jewish crowd in Jerusalem while under Roman protective custody, and he rehearses his salvation experience. Les emphasizes that three times in the book of Acts Paul's conversion is totally detailed: chapter 9, chapter 22, and chapter 26. Here in chapter 22, Paul goes through the whole procedure of his salvation on the road to Damascus. Then in verse 17 he recounts his later temple vision, where the ascended Lord Jesus told him to make haste and get out of Jerusalem because the Jews would not receive his testimony. Paul reminds the crowd that he had imprisoned and beaten believers in every synagogue and had consented to Stephen's death, holding the raiment of those who slew him.
