"Saul becomes closely linked with the religious authorities in the city and zealously helps to suppress the Jewish heresy which is being spread by the followers of the crucified Jesus. He watches with full approval the stoning of Stephen, a leading Christian, and then he sets off to Damascus to seek out and arrest any Christians in that city"

This represents Montags belief in the Firemen, and how they are protecting the country from danger which in the contexts case is the books. Saul is a representation of Montag and his persecution of christians symbolises the burning of books.

"On the road to Damascus he sees a blinding light and hears a voice saying 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?' The voice goes on to add: 'I am Jesus'."

The blinding light and the voice of Jesus is a referal to Clarisse and how Montag changed when talking to her. She was a catalyst and a mentor for Montag. She showed him the way and the right thing to do in order to become a good person. In the same way Jesus did this to Saul.

"Instead of persecuting the Christians of Damascus, Saul is baptized by them and stays among them for some three years. Later he returns to his home town in southern Turkey, preaching the Christian faith"

Montag after realising the true meaning of what Clarisse was telling him stopped burning books and became a good person not controlled by society. He became a whole new person just like Saul did when he stopped persectuing Christians and renamed to Paul.
