The lectionary reading for Easter 3 in Year C is Acts 9, the so-called conversion of Saul/Paul. These readings from Acts are prioritized, so that we are encouraged to preach from them in this season (despite it coming before Pentecost!).

Is is right to talk about Paul being 'converted'? What does this change involv—what is Paul turning from and turning to? Is he still a Jew? And is this episode recorded by Luke merely for historical interest—or is there any sense in which this should be read as setting expectations for our own experience, either as a 'Paul' ourselves or as an 'Ananias'?

The gospel reading for the week is John 21, the second miraculous catch of fish. You can find written commentary on it here: https://www.psephizo.com/biblical-studies/153-fish-three-loves-and-one-call-to-follow-in-john-21/
