Acts 9:4

4. He fell They were also “all fallen to the earth,” (Acts 26:14.) But while the others, immediately recovering, “stood speechless,” (Acts 9:7,) the more deeply smitten Saul rose not until bidden, (Acts 9:8.)

Saul, Saul Solemnly reiterated and in the sacred “Hebrew tongue,” (Acts 26:14.) The utterance of his personal name by the divine voice individualized his whole being; called him out from the human race as sole and peculiar. Repeated, that call was secured from mistake and emphasized to the centre of his soul. The “Hebrew tongue” betokened that he is called, like Abraham and Samuel of old, to a mission even more wonderful than the Old Testament ever knew. In that language of the chosen people he is summoned to be a preacher to all the people of the earth.

Me For Jesus identifies himself with his own holy cause; considers himself to be embodied in his own Church. To persecute my loved disciples is to persecute me. So Matthew 25:40; Matthew 25:45: Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. And here Jesus, as at the judgment day, makes a direct issue with his foe: It is thou me.
