Scripture focus

13. At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. 14. And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 15. And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. 16. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; 17. Delivering thee from the people, and [from] the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, 18. To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Commentary

Commentary on Acts 26:13

Theological / Devotional

At midday. The blinding light was not that of the sun, for Paul had been traveling for hours under its increasing brightness, without distress. In the brightest sunlight, a supernatural light, even brighter than that of the sun, blinded him. In vs. 13-18 only points in the narrative of Paul’s conversion not commented on in ch. 9:1-22 are discussed (see p. 228).
