And I was zealous for Aloha, even as all of you are also. 4 And this way I persecuted unto the death, while I bound and delivered to the house of the bound both men and women; 5 as the chief of the priests can testify of me, and all the elders, that from them I received letters to go to the brethren who were in Darmsuk, that also them who were there I should bring to Urishlem bound, that they might be fined. 6 And as I went, and began to approach Darmsuk in the dividing of the day, suddenly from heaven there shone upon me a great light, 7 and I fell upon the earth, and heard a voice, which said to me, Shaol, Shaol, why persecutest thou me ? 8 But I answered and said, Who art thou, my Lord ? And he said to me, I am Jeshu Natsroya, whom thou persecutest ! 9 And the men who were with me saw the light, but the voice they understood [fn] not which spake with me. 10 And I said, What shall I do, my Lord ? And he said to me, Arise, go into Darmsuk, and there shall it be told thee of whatever it is commanded thee to do. 11 And while I could not see because of the glory of that light, they who were with me took me by my hands, and I entered Darmsuk. 12 And a man, one Hanania, righteous in the law, as the Jihudoyee who were there testified of him,

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.
