Acts 9 summary points

  • v 1 to 9 On Saul's way to Damascus to persecute believers, Jesus appears in a dramatic fashion to him, blinding him for three days
  • v 10 to 16 A disciple called Ananias is told to go and see Saul because God has chosen him to preach to people from all nations. However Saul will suffer as a result
  • v 17 to 21 After Saul meets Ananias, he receives his sight, becomes a believer, is baptised and to everyone's surprise he preaches Christ boldly
  • v 22 to 31 The Jews conspire to kill Saul because his preaching is so powerful. He escapes to Jerusalem where the disciples don't believe that he has become a disciple until they are reassured by Barnabas. Saul's preaching causes the Greeks to want to kill him, so he goes to Caesarea and then Tarsus
  • v 32 to 43 At Lydda, many believe in Jesus after Peter heals a paralysed man in the name of Jesus. At Joppa more believe in the Lord after Peter brings back to life a lady called Tabitha (Dorcas)
