What did PAUL see before Jesus'call?

Before Jesus' call, Paul, then known as Saul, was a zealous Pharisee who persecuted early Christians. He witnessed the stoning of Stephen, the first Christian martyr, and actively sought to imprison believers. Saul was deeply committed to upholding Jewish law and traditions, believing that he was defending his faith against what he saw as a dangerous sect. His life dramatically changed after encountering the risen Christ on the road to Damascus.
