Acts 9:8 gives the same account in third person: 'they led him by the hand into Damascus' — identical details from a different perspective.

Acts 9:9 adds that Paul was blind three days and did not eat or drink — filling out the story of his blindness after the light.

Isaiah 42:16 promises God will lead the blind — Paul's literal blindness and being led into Damascus echoes this divine guidance of the blind.
