Acts 22:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 22:6

4 ^aI persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women,

5 as also the high priest bears me witness, and ^aall the council of the elders, ^bfrom whom I also received letters to the brethren, and went to Damascus ^cto bring in chains even those who were there to Jerusalem to be punished.

6 “Now ^ait happened, as I journeyed and came near Damascus at about noon, suddenly a great light from heaven shone around me.

7 And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?’

8 So I answered, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.’

9 “And ^athose who were with me indeed saw the light¹ and were afraid, but they did not hear the voice of Him who spoke to me.

10 So I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me, ‘Arise and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all things which are appointed for you to do.’
