Saul's conversion is described dramatically in Acts 9:3-19, but there two other accounts of his shattering experience, in 22:6-16 and 26:9-23 From the moment that he heard the voice of Jesus, he understood w it was that had transformed the believers, for he was totally transformed himself. His life was quickly in danger from the Jews who had previously been his friends and he eventually went back to his own city of Tars

It is possible to suggest a date for his conversion by working backwards from other information including what Paul himself says in his letter to the Galatians. Between A.D. 34 and 36 is most likely. Acts 9:31 records the end of this period of persecution after the conversion of the most vigorous persecutor.
