Sam--
I don't find anywhere in Acts where the physical person of Jesus of Nazareth is said to have appeared to Paul. Rather, in Acts 22, Paul clearly describes a "BRIGHT LIGHT from heaven flashed around me. I fell to the ground and HEARD A VOICE say to me, 'Saul, Saul! Why do you persecute me?'" Secondly, the voice is clearly established as belonging to Jesus of Nazareth. In Acts 26, Paul again says he saw a "light from heaven, brighter than the sun". Paul describes it to Agrippa as a "vision from heaven." But that light was clearly Jesus, who says in 26:16: "I have APPEARED TO YOU to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen of me and what I will show you."
