Saul was an enemy of the Christians and was on a mission to imprison or even kill Christians when He met Jesus on the road to Damascus.
The vision of Jesus made Saul temporarily blind and the words of Christ and the mission that Christ gave Saul,
sent Saul into deep fasting ( no drinking or eating for three days ) and while in deep prayer a few days later, a disciple of Christ came to heal Saul of his blindness.
Saul who became Paul the Apostle, who after having spent some days with Christ disciples went about preaching and doing miracles.
So is Paul at the same level as the Prophets of God ?
