Pauline's Visions of Jesus

I think if you take Acts as a complimentary description of what happened to Paul, the vision that he saw on the road to Damascus or what he saw with his companions, it would seem that he beholds Jesus and it has the character of something like Theophany. But I do believe that what motivated Paul was something that he thought was a supernatural encounter of Jesus. That would seem harder to place with someone who was a hardened persecutor of the church who wouldn't have had that preconceived idea of Jesus. Unless you have studied post chromatic stress.
