使徒行傳 22:14-15 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 22:1-22

The testimony of religious experience. Not now dwelling upon the details of Saul's conversion, treated of for the most part under the consideration of the ninth chapter, we may observe that we have here Paul's own account of it, that is to say, we have his own rehearsal of his conversion, and so far forth religious experience. We may use the opportunity for the purpose of illustrating the right occasion and use of the individual declaring to the world "what the Lord has done for his soul.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 22:1-30

The apology. It was a very remarkable promise which our Lord made to his apostles, when, forewarning them that they should be delivered up to councils, and brought before kings and rulers for his sake, he added, "But when they so deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost" ( Mark 13:9-11 ). It is impossible not to see a fulfillment... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 22:14

Appointed for chosen, A.V. ; to know for that thou shouldest know, A.V.; to see the Righteous One for see that Just One, A.V.; to hear a voice from for shouldest hear the voice of, A.V. Hath appointed thee ; προεχειρίσατό σε , a word found in the New Testament only here and in Acts 26:16 , and in Acts 3:20 (R.T.). In classical Greek it means mostly "to get anything ready beforehand;" to cause anything to be πρόχειρος , ready to hand. And in the LXX . it means... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 22:14

"That Just One." Paul here quotes from Ananias a term used to designate Jesus Christ. Its Scripture history as applied to Christ, and its significance as touching some of the deepest aspects of Christ's relations to humanity, are very worthy of some fixed attention. Notice— I. THE SCRIPTURE HISTORY OF THE EPITHET , " THAT JUST ONE ," AS APPLIED TO CHRIST . Six occasions in the historical portions of the New Testament illustrate its use, namely, when it comes... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 22:14-15

"The will of God in Christ Jesus concerning us." I. DIVINE ELECTION . "The God of our fathers hath chosen thee" ( Acts 22:14 ). It will always be a difficulty to know what to think of the electing grace of God. But we are on safe ground when we say: 1. That God desires the well-being of every member of his human family. We may surely argue that it must be so; we may boldly affirm that it is so. Is it not written that God is one "who will have all men to be saved, and to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 22:14-15

The calling and the gifts of God. The apostle himself elsewhere speaks ( Romans 11:29 ) of" the gifts and the calling of God;" and of them he says that they "are without repentance." The glorious occasion to which he gives prominence in the words of these verses exhibits the "calling" first, and the "gifts" next. At the same time, this same passage describes the calling of God (separate and sovereign act though it be in itself) as introductory to responsibilities, privileges, and gifts... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 22:14

Shouldest know his will - His will in the plan of salvation, and in regard to your future life.And see that Just One - The Messiah. See the notes on Acts 3:14. As Paul was to be an apostle, and as it was the special office of an apostle to bear witness to the person and deeds of the Lord Jesus (see the notes on Acts 1:21-22), it was necessary that he should see him, that thus he might be a competent witness of his resurrection.Shouldest hear the voice of his mouth - Shouldst hear and obey his... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 22:6-16

Acts 22:6-16. And as I made my journey, &c., about noon For all was done in the face of the sun; suddenly there shone a great light By whatever method God reveals himself to us, we shall have everlasting cause to remember it; especially when he has gone, in any remarkable manner, out of his common way, for this gracious purpose. If so, we should often dwell on the particular circumstance, and be ready, on every proper occasion, to recount these wonders of power and love for the... read more
