" And those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they did not hear the voice of Him who spoke to me.

1. Here we come to, what some believe to be a contradiction.

1. Acts 9:7 says the others heard a voice but saw no man.

2. Acts 22:9 says they did NOT hear the voice of Him who spoke to Paul.

2. The answer to this is found in the third account of Paul's conversion. Acts 26:14 says that Jesus spoke to him "in the Hebrew tongue."

3. The men who were with Paul were Jews, but not schooled and skilled in Hebrew. They did not see any man. They heard a voice (sound), but they did not hear any words they understood. They heard (sound), but they did not hear (understand) the message.
