[That is understood to mean Paul's encounter with Jesus on the Damascus Road.]
Yes, the risen Christ appeared to Paul on the Damascus Road. And again in Sianai in Arabia where He stripped Paul of judaistic laws and gave him the doctrine of the New Testament Church, the Body of Christ, the revelations of Jesus Christ to Paul the Apostle. The Catholic religion has problems with the Pauline reveliations of Jesus Christ, also known as Jehovah God in the O.T. When Paul fell to the ground after hearing the voice, did he not ask Who are thou Jehovah, the english word LORD being the translation? And he said, I am Jesus, whom thou ...
Thank you for searching the scriptures, Berean Christian.

Acts(:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord(Jewish word,Jehovah)? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

And again after that,

Galations 1
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
