Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Acts 22:6-16

Acts PAUL ON HIS OWN CONVERSION Act_22:6 - Act_22:16 . We follow Paul’s example when we put Jesus’ appearance to him from heaven in a line with His appearances to the disciples on earth. ‘Last of all, He appeared to me also.’ But it does not follow that the appearances are all of the same kind, or that Paul thought that they were. They were all equally real, equally ‘objective,’ equally valid proofs of Jesus’ risen life. On two critical occasions Paul told the story of Jesus’ appearance as... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 22:1-16

How His Life Was Changed Acts 22:1-16 What a sermon Paul preached! His pulpit, the steps that ascended from the Temple level to the Castle of Antonia. His audience, the frenzied crowds who filled the court below him, but who were calmed to silence as they heard the venerable Hebrew speech, which was unintelligible to the Romans around them. His text, the real and personal interposition of the living Christ to arrest his course of persecution and convert him. Here was a fact, which to the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 22:1-30

Paul's defense as here recorded is a rare and perfect example of Christian argument. He was defending his devotion to work among the Gentiles. In that defense the last word he was permitted to utter was the word "Gentiles." Immediately the fury of the crowds burst out. In that moment of crisis Paul broke once and forever with the trammels of the Judaic system. At this point we have a remarkable view of the condition of affairs in the church at Jerusalem. Quite evidently there were many who... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 22:1-29

Paul Is Arrested And Speaks To The Crowd Giving His Own Testimony. They Reply ‘Away With Him’ (21:31-22:29). At this point begins the remarkable account of Paul’s imprisonment, trials and treatment at the hands of men in Jerusalem and Caesarea (from Acts 21:31 to Acts 26:32). It could well have been said of him also, ‘you will be delivered into the hands of men’ (Luke 9:44; Luke 24:7). What follows can only really be understood by those who understood the situation in Palestine. Hyrcanus and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 22:1-30

PAUL’S JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM AND THEN TO ROME (19:21-28:31). Here we begin a new section of Acts. It commences with Paul’s purposing to go to Jerusalem, followed by an incident, which, while it brings to the conclusion his ministry in Ephesus, very much introduces the new section. From this point on all changes. Paul’s ‘journey to Jerusalem’ and then to Rome has begun, with Paul driven along by the Holy Spirit. The ending of the previous section as suggested by the closing summary in Acts 19:20... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 22:9

“And those who were with me beheld indeed the light, but they did not hear the voice of him who spoke to me.” Those who were with him had beheld the light. It was not just something internal. They had heard noises (as we are told elsewhere), but they had not understood exactly what was being said. They had not ‘understood the voice’. Compare John 12:28-29. They were like Paul’s listeners, unable to discern, seeing a light, hearing noises, but unresponding. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 22:10

“And I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me, ‘Arise, and go into Damascus, and there it will be told you concerning all things which are appointed for you to do.’ ” Deeply humbled he had asked Jesus what He wanted him to do. And he had been told to go into Damascus where he would be told all for which God had appointed him. He wanted his listeners to see that his whole aim had been to be pleasing to God. And his thought was, if only his listeners too would ask, ‘What shall I... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 22:1-21

Acts 22:1-Ecclesiastes : . Paul’ s Speech to the Jews.— The opening of the speech is like that of Stephen ( Acts 7:2). In 2 Corinthians 11:22 Paul attests his full membership of the Jewish people, and having lived many years in Palestine he could no doubt speak Aramaic, though his countrymen did not expect it of him. Acts 22:3 . at the feet of Gamaliel: Jewish boys sat on the floor at their lessons.— Gamaliel: cf. Acts 5:34. Some scholars are strongly inclined to put Paul down as a pure... read more

Of this; See Poole on "Acts 9:7". This may be added to what was formerly said, that the men who travelled with Paul may be said not to have heard the voice of him that spake, because they did not understand it, or obey it; they were not converted, as Paul was, by it; the Hebrew language putting hearing for obeying, as in many scriptures; and both St. Paul, who here spake, and Luke, who penned this history, understood exactly the proprieties of that tongue. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 22:10

See Poole on "Acts 9:6". Such things as Ananias told him from Christ, were as if Christ himself had told him them; and by Ananias our Saviour satisfied St. Paul’s question, What shall I do, Lord? read more
