This portion has one of the most important event happen in the life of the early church which is recorded. The Biblical writer considers it so important that he refers to it no less than three times in the book of Acts – here, in chapter 22 and again in chapter 26. Saul, the man who had done more harm to the church than anyone else is met by the Savior of the church. He who "breathed in" threatening and slaughter, i.e., it is his life's breath, is to be turned about completely. He who possessed a fanatical zeal against the believers will later use that same burning zeal for them. The Lord singles out Saul, not only of great ability, but someone who will not stop at anything to accomplish his purposes.
