Paul's Conversion on the Damascus Road
Acts narrates Saul's departure from Jerusalem, encounter while approaching Damascus, ministry in Damascus, visit to Jerusalem, and departure through Caesarea to Tarsus. Galatians separately says that he went into Arabia and returned to Damascus before a later Jerusalem visit; it does not locate Arabia or map a continuous route. The connecting line is editorial context, not a documented ancient road.
