Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the notes on Acts 9:3-7.
Acts 22:6
As I made my journey - As I was on my journey.
About noon - Acts 26:13, âat mid-day.â 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 22:11
The glory of that light - The splendor, the intense brilliancy of the light. See this and its effects explained in the notes on Acts 9:8.
