What happened to the others?

As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven.  Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.” So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one. Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.(Acts 9:3-9)
I sometimes wonder what happened to the others?  We have probably heard the details: Saul hunted down and even killed early believers. Yet Jesus had a plan! He hunted down Saul and challenged him to follow Him, changing his name and his life for eternity! But what happened to the others? We hear nothing....

I wonder about my life....I was challenged to accept Christ as Lord and Savior of August of 1992. I was face to face with the words of Paul (coincidence?) in Romans. Simply confess with my and believe in my heart? (Romans 10:9-10). I was raised in Church but it was never explained so simply! Yes....I believe....yes I confess....yes I need You Lord! Yet I wonder about those who knew me then....what happened to the others?
