Commentary on Acts 22:17

Theological / Devotional

To Jerusalem. This is the visit of ch. 9:26 (see comment there).

In the temple. Probably at the time of the morning or the evening hour of prayer (see on Luke 1:9; Acts 3:1). Because God had honored Paul with a vision in the very place he was now accused of desecrating, the Jews would do well to investigate the facts before deciding to kill him.

A trance. The message imparted in this vision is related in vs. 18-21. This occurred on the visit to Jerusalem recorded in ch. 9:26-30.
