Acts 22:9

9 et qui mecum erant lumen quidem viderunt vocem autem non audierunt eius qui loquebatur mecum

Acts 22:9 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 22:9

And they that were with me saw indeed the light
For it shone about them, as well as Saul:

and were afraid;
the Alexandrian copy, the Vulgate Latin, and Syriac versions, have not this clause; but it stands in the Arabic and Ethiopic versions; the suddenness, greatness, and extraordinariness of the light surprised them, for it was even miraculous:

but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me:
they heard the voice of Saul, but not the voice of Christ; at least they did not hear it so as to understand it; (See Gill on Acts 9:7).

Acts 22:9 In-Context

7 et decidens in terram audivi vocem dicentem mihi Saule Saule quid me persequeris

8 ego autem respondi quis es Domine dixitque ad me ego sum Iesus Nazarenus quem tu persequeris

9 et qui mecum erant lumen quidem viderunt vocem autem non audierunt eius qui loquebatur mecum

10 et dixi quid faciam Domine Dominus autem dixit ad me surgens vade Damascum et ibi tibi dicetur de omnibus quae te oporteat facere

11 et cum non viderem prae claritate luminis illius ad manum deductus a comitibus veni Damascum
