What question did Jesus ask Saul on the road to Damascus?

• A. Why Do You Persecute Me?
• B. Who Are You?
• C. What Must I Do?
• D. Where Are You Going?

Answer: (A)

The moment is a direct confrontation that links Saul’s persecution of Christians to persecuting Christ Himself. Jesus asks Saul a single, piercing question: Why do you persecute me? This frames the whole encounter around the personal identification between Christ and the church, showing that to oppose believers is to oppose Jesus. After this, Saul responds with, “Who are you, Lord?” and Jesus reveals Himself as the one Saul is persecuting. The other proposed questions don’t capture the exact moment Jesus speaks to Saul on the road: the line “Who are you, Lord?” is Saul’s question, not Jesus’, and the other two options don’t appear as the opening question Jesus asks in that scene.
