Acts 22:6-11

And coming near Damascus. See notes on Acts 9:3-9. The bright light flashed at the time the sun was the brightest, and was much brighter than the sun (Acts 26:13). Saul, Saul. The voice spoke in Hebrew (Acts 26:14). Why do you persecute me? By persecuting the messianic community, he was persecuting Christ himself! But did not hear the voice. From Acts 9:4; Acts 9:7 we infer that those with Paul heard the sound, but could not hear what the voice said. That is, they could not understand it. I was blind because of the bright light. Some think Galatians 4:15 implies that his eyes never fully recovered from this.
