And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.

People's New Testament

22:9 They heard not the voice. Some have insisted that there is a contradiction between this statement and that of Ac 9:7, but the word hear is often used in the sense of understand. Once the writer heard Abraham Lincoln address a great audience. Some, at a distance, cried out, We cannot hear. They meant understand, for they could hear the sound of his voice.

22:9 They did not hear the voice - Distinctly; but only a confused noise.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

22:1-11 The apostle addressed the enraged multitude, in the customary style of respect and good-will. Paul relates the history of his early life very particularly; he notices that his conversion was wholly the act of God. Condemned sinners are struck blind by the power of darkness, and it is a lasting blindness, like that of the unbelieving Jews. Convinced sinners are struck blind as Paul was, not by darkness, but by light. They are for a time brought to be at a loss within themselves, but it is in order to their being enlightened. A simple relation of the Lord's dealings with us, in bringing us, from opposing, to profess and promote his gospel, when delivered in a right spirit and manner, will sometimes make more impression that laboured speeches, even though it amounts not to the full proof of the truth, such as was shown in the change wrought in the apostle.

Acts 9:7 The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one.

Acts 26:13 at midday, O King, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining all around me and those who were journeying with me. (NASB ©1995)
