Saul heard the voice of Jesus but he questioned the voice. At the name of Jesus, Saul did not have power to question nor resist but to tremble. Saul was also astonished because the name was not for him to resist. <b><i>It is written, at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth.
