Or avvenne che, mentre io ero in cammino e mi avvicinavo a Damasco, intorno a mezzogiorno, allimprovviso una gran luce dal cielo mi folgor dintorno.
Or avvenne che, mentre io era in cammino, e mi avvicinava a Damasco, in sul mezzodì, di subito una gran luce mi folgorò d’intorno dal cielo.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
that: It is evident that the apostle considered his extraordinary conversion as a most complete demonstration of the truth of Christianity; and when all the particulars of his education, his previous religious principles, his zeal, his enmity against Christians, and his prospects of secular honours and preferments by persecuting them, are compared with the subsequent part of his life, and the sudden transition from a furious persecutor to a zealous preacher of the gospel, in which he laboured and suffered to the end of his life, and for which he died a martyr, it must convince every candid and impartial person that no rational account can be given of this change, except what he himself assigns; and consequently, if that be true, that Christianity is Divine.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass, that as I made my journey,.... And had almost made an end of it:
and was come nigh unto Damascus; about a mile from it, as some say,
about noon; this circumstance is omitted in the account in Acts 9:3 and is mentioned here, not so much to inform what time of day it was, that Saul came to Damascus, as to observe how extraordinary that light must be, which then appeared, as follows:
suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me; and not only about him, but those that were with him, Acts 26:13. This must be a great light indeed, to be distinguished at noon, and to be above the brightness of the sun, and to have such effect upon the apostle and his company as it had; Acts 9:3.
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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
