Paul went down full of zeal and energy against the Nazarene, and directly that Nazarene looked on him, directly he turned full of zeal for Him.
The Lord had said of Paul, " I will show him what great things he must suffer for my name's sake." And it was not so much in service as by suffering, that all in Paul which was like the Lord came out. If Paul was nearest in likeness to Him, he would have the most to suffer, He had been brought to the feet of the Man of sorrows.
