What is a summary of Acts chapter 9 in the bible?
Saul seeks Christians in Damascus to being back to Jerusalem to persecute. A voice asks, 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?' , and tells him it is hard to prick against the goads (kicks). (Jesus is the farmer, Saul is the ox -- stubborn, yet being goaded in the right direction.) Saul is struck blind. His travelling companions do not hear anything. God tells Ananias to meet Saul, and where he can find him. Ananias lays hands on Saul, and the scales fall from his eyes. Saul is baptised. To everyone's amazement, Saul preaches in Damascus. The Jews plot to kill Saul, so he escapes in a basket over the walls of Damascus. Saul meets up with the initially wary Christians in Jerusalem, and disputes against the Hellenists. When the Hellenists try to kill him too, the Christians send Saul to Tarsus. The churches in Judea, Galilee and Samaria prosper. In Lydda, Peter heals Aeneas, who was bedridden with paralysis, so all Lydda believe. Peter raises Dorcas from Joppa from the dead. Peter stays with Simon, a tanner. (For a law-keeping Jew of that time, it was strictly forbidden to associate with anyone who routinely worked with dead animals.)
