Acts 22:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 22:3

1 “Brethren^a and fathers, hear my defense before you now.”

2 And when they heard that he spoke to them in the ^aHebrew language, they kept all the more silent. Then he said:

3 ^a“I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city ^bat the feet of ^cGamaliel, taught ^daccording to the strictness of our fathers’ law, and ^ewas zealous toward God ^fas you all are today.

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?’
