The glorious occasion to which he gives prominence in the words of these verses exhibits the "calling" first, and the "gifts" next.

Hence the λουτρὸν παλιγγενεσίας , "the washing of regeneration'' ( Titus 3:5 ; comp. Ephesians 5:26 ; and see Acts 2:38 , note).

See the notes on Acts 9:3-7.Acts 22:6As I made my journey - As I was on my journey.About noon - Acts 26:13, “at mid-day.” This circumstance is omitted by Luke in his account in Acts 9:0: Paul mentions it as being the more remarkable since it occurred at mid-day, to show that he was not deluded by any meteoric or natural appearances, which usually occur at night.Acts 22:11The glory of that light - The splendor, the intense brilliancy of the light.
