What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"And he was with the disciples which were at Damascus certain days. And straightway in the synagogues he preached Jesus, that He is the Son of God." See, straightway he was a teacher in the synagogues. He was not ashamed of the change, was not afraid while the very things in which he was glorious afore-time, the same he destroyed. Even from his first appearance on the stage here was a man, death-dealing, ready for deeds of blood: seest thou what a manifest sign was here?
Theophylact of Ohrid
Paul does not say that Jesus is risen, that He is alive, but what? He immediately carefully proves that "He is the Son of God." He immediately became a teacher, because he was not ashamed that a change had occurred in him with regard to what had become clear to him.
Oecumenius
As a learned man he silenced them and would not let them speak, but proved from the Scriptures. That is, reconciling, teaching with gentleness that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. [CHRYSOSTOM]
