John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 22:9

And they that were with me saw indeed the light ,.... For it shone about them, as well as Saul: and were afraid ; the Alexandrian copy, the Vulgate Latin, and Syriac versions, have not this clause; but it stands in the Arabic and Ethiopic versions; the suddenness, greatness, and extraordinariness of the light surprised them, for it was even miraculous: but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me : they heard the voice of Saul, but not the voice of Christ; at least they did... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 22:1

Men, brethren, and fathers - A Hebrew form of expression for brethren and fathers: for two classes only are addressed. See the note on Acts 7:2 . Hear ye my defense - Μου της απολογιας , This apology of mine; in this sense the word apology was anciently understood: hence the Apologies of the primitive fathers, i.e. their defenses of the Christian religion. And this is as proper literal meaning; but it is now used only as implying an excuse for improper conduct. That this is an abuse... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 22:2

When they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue - He had probably been traduced by the Jews of Asia as a mere Gentile, distinguished only by his virulence against the Jewish religion; which virulence proceeded from his malice and ignorance. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 22:3

I am verily a man which am a Jew - A periphrasis for, I am really a Jew: and his mentioning this adds weight to the conjecture in the preceding note. He shows that he could not be ignorant of the Jewish religion, as he had had the best instructer in it which Jerusalem could produce. Yet brought up, etc. - Bp. Pearce proposes that this verse should be thus read and translated: but brought up in this city; instructed at the feet of Gamaliel, according to the most exact manner, being... read more

I persecuted this way - Ταυτην την ὁδον ; This doctrine, the way of worshipping God, and arriving at a state of blessedness. See on Acts 9:2 ; (note). Binding and delivering into prisons - See on Acts 8:3 ; (note); Acts 9:2 ; (note). read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 22:5

The high priest doth bear me witness, etc. - He probably referred to the letters of authority which he had received from the high priest, and the whole estate of the elders, παν το πρεσβυτεριον , the whole of the presbytery, that is, the sanhedrin; and it is likely, that he had those letters to produce. This zeal of his against Christianity was an ample proof of his sincerity as a Pharisaical Jew. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 22:1

Verse 1− Though we may guess by the beginning of this speech what was Paul’s drift, yet because he was interrupted, we know not certainly what he was about to say. The sum of that part which is refitted is this, that forasmuch as he was well and faithfully instructed in the doctrine of the law, he was a godly and religious worshipper of God in the sight of the world. Secondly, that he was an enemy to the gospel of Christ, so that he was counted among the priests one of the principal... read more
