The first time Jesus appeared to Paul was on the road to Damascus (Acts 26.12,15-16) when he believed and became saved. Jesus said to Paul, "other times I will I appear unto you" (v.16).
But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, "Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome" (Matt. 23.11). This took place when the Commander, Claudius Lysias, had taken Paul to the Jewish High Council to try to resolve the matter between the Jews and Paul. They tried to "tear him apart" (v.10), so the Commander removed Paul from their presence with his soldiers.
This is twice Jesus appeared to Paul visible in Person. Was there another time Jesus appeared to Paul in Person?
