Acts 9:5 - Exposition

He for the Lord, A.V. and T.R. The rest of Acts 9:5 in the A.V., "It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks" and the first part of Acts 9:6 , "And he trembling and astonished, said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him," are omitted in the R.T. They have, in fact, no manuscript authority (Meyer; Alford); and not much patristic authority, or from versions, and are omitted by all modern editors. They seem to be taken from the parallel narratives in Acts 22:8-10 ; Acts 26:14 . The proverb, "It is hard," etc., is only found in Acts 26:14 (where see note).
