What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven. Why not in Jerusalem? why not in Damascus? That there might be no opening for different persons to relate the occurrence in different ways, but that he alone should be the authentic narrator, he that went for this purpose.
Theophylact of Ohrid
The vision occurred not in the city, but on the road and in stillness, because the crowd would not have believed, but would only have laughed, just as in the case of Jesus Christ, those who heard the voice from heaven "said that it thundered" (Jn. 12:29). And Saul was worthy of belief, because he was recounting what had happened to him. …
Oecumenius
The vision does not occur in a city, but on the road in quiet, so that it might not be possible for others to relate otherwise what happened about him, but that he himself would be credible to relate that he had seen the vision and undergone the suffering.
