Bible Question:
What do you think happened to Paul's fellow zealous/Jewish traveling companions after his conversion? They were all traveling together, passionately on a voyage to persecute and arrest followers of the Way and suddenly, Saul, the man who was leading the charge gets blinded. They take him to the house of Judas to heal up - and suddenly he no longer wants to continue with them. What do you think this whole situation was like? Where did they go? What did they do? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Dogloopy, You ask, "What do you think happened to Paul's fellow zealous/Jewish traveling companions after his conversion?" Acts 9:8 and 22:11 say that they led Saul (Paul) by the hand into Damascus and eventually to the house of Judas on Straight Street (9:11). But those who were with him "did not understand" (22:9) even though they heard the voice (9:7; see also Dan. 10:7) and saw no one. In both accounts - Chapters 9 and 22 - the disciple Ananias picks up the story from there and what happened to Saul's traveling companions is anyone's guess. Perhaps they continued on with Saul to witness his miraculous conversion and healing, being converted themselves. Perhaps they continued and tried to thwart the efforts of the disciples. Perhaps they went back to the Synagogue in Jerusalem to report what happened, or went to the local Synagogue in Damascus, only to witness their compatriot do a complete 180 and start preaching about Jesus immediately! (9:20) Whatever the case, Scripture does not say one way or the other. Blessings to you, Makarios |
