Acts 14:19-28; John 14:27-31a
The conversion of Saul of Tarsus into the Apostle Paul began with the stoning of Stephen, whose face was radiant with the same vision that would soon knock Saul to the ground and blind him. His encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus filled him with insights he would need a lifetime to absorb and integrate into his theological gift to the early church. In today’s first reading from Acts, it is Paul who is stoned and left for dead in Antioch. But in a demonstration of the power of the resurrection of Jesus, Paul rises again unharmed and continues his ministry of the Gospel.
