Saul! Why, me, art thou persecuting? 8 And, I, answered - Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me - I, am Jesus the Nazarene, whom, thou, art persecuting! 9 Now, they who were with me, beheld, indeed, the light, but heard not, the voice, of him that was speaking with me 10 And said - What shall I do, Lord? And, the Lord, said unto me - Arise, and be going thy way into Damascus, and, there, shall it be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do. 11 But, as I could not see clearly owing to the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them who were with me, I came into Damascus. 12 And, one Ananias, a man devout according to the law, well-attested by all the Jews that dwelt there,

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.
