Acts 26:13 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 26:13

At midday, O king
So in ( Acts 12:6 ) . This circumstance is omitted in ( Acts 9:3 ) . King Agrippa is called upon by the apostle, to excite his attention to what he was about to relate, it being very wonderful, and of great importance.

I saw in the way;
that is, to Damascus, when near the city;

a light from heaven;
which descended from thence:

above the brightness of the sun;
it was a greater light than that, or otherwise it could not have been discerned at noon, or have had the effect it had upon Saul, and his company. This account of the greatness of the light, is not in the other places where this narrative is given:

shining round about me:
so in ( Acts 9:3 ) ( 12:6 )

and them which journeyed with me;
this is not mentioned in the other accounts.

Acts 26:13 In-Context

11 et per omnes synagogas frequenter puniens eos conpellebam blasphemare et amplius insaniens in eos persequebar usque in exteras civitates

12 in quibus dum irem Damascum cum potestate et permissu principum sacerdotum

13 die media in via vidi rex de caelo supra splendorem solis circumfulsisse me lumen et eos qui mecum simul erant

14 omnesque nos cum decidissemus in terram audivi vocem loquentem mihi hebraica lingua Saule Saule quid me persequeris durum est tibi contra stimulum calcitrare

15 ego autem dixi quis es Domine Dominus autem dixit ego sum Iesus quem tu persequeris
