Acts 26:19 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 26:19

Whereupon, O King Agrippa
Having been favoured with this illustrious appearance of the Lord and with this declaration and commission from him:

I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision;
to Christ himself, who appeared from heaven in so much light and glory, and spoke unto him, and appointed him what he should be, and do, and declared what use he should be of: he did not disbelieve what Christ said, nor was he disobedient to the orders he gave, but immediately set about the work he called him to, without consulting flesh and blood; see ( Galatians 1:16 ) .

Acts 26:19 In-Context

17 taking thee out from among the people, and the nations, to whom *I* send thee,

18 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.

19 Whereupon, king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision;

20 but have, first to those both in Damascus and Jerusalem, and to all the region of Judaea, and to the nations, announced that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

21 On account of these things the Jews, having seized me in the temple, attempted to lay hands on and destroy me.
