Commentary on Acts 22:14

Theological / Devotional

Be his witness. Like the Twelve, Paul had seen the Lord, heard His voice, and knew His will (v. 14). Also like them, he was commissioned to proclaim the gospel (cf. ch. 1:8). His credentials and authority were not inferior to theirs (1 Cor. 15:10; 2 Cor. 11:5; Gal. 2:8, 11).

Unto all men. As yet, cautiously avoids mentioning his special commission to the Gentiles (cf. v. 21).

Seen and heard. Power to witness comes from personal experience (cf. 1 John 1:1-3; 2 Peter 1:16-18). Paul had met the living Saviour, and had received from Him an intimate, clear, and systematic knowledge of truth, even as had the Twelve.
