Atti 26:12 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 26:12

Whereupon as I went to Damascus
Being intent, upon the above said things, to punish the saints, compel them to blaspheme, imprison them, and even put them to death on account of these things; upon this errand and business he went to Damascus, the chief city of Syria, where he knew there were many that believed in Christ, who had removed from Jerusalem thither, on account of the persecution, or were settled there before:

with authority and commission from the chief priests;
the Jewish sanhedrim, to bring those of them at Damascus bound to Jerusalem, in order to be punished, as in ( Acts 9:2 ) ( 22:5 ) and which the Ethiopic version adds here.

Atti 26:12 In-Context

10 E questo difatti feci a Gerusalemme; e avutane facoltà dai capi sacerdoti serrai nelle prigioni molti de’ santi; e quando erano messi a morte, io detti il mio voto.
11 E spesse volte, per tutte le sinagoghe, li costrinsi con pene a bestemmiare; e infuriato oltremodo contro di loro, li perseguitai fino nelle città straniere.
12 Il che facendo, come andavo a Damasco con potere e commissione de’ capi sacerdoti,
13 io vidi, o re, per cammino a mezzo giorno, una luce dal cielo, più risplendente del sole, la quale lampeggiò intorno a me ed a coloro che viaggiavan meco.
14 Ed essendo noi tutti caduti in terra, udii una voce che mi disse in lingua ebraica: Saulo, Saulo, perché mi perseguiti? Ei t’è duro ricalcitrar contro gli stimoli.
