Acts 22:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I could not see for the glory of that light; the excellency of the object overpowering his sight. It was a strange work of God that enabled St. Stephen to see Christ, who is now so glorious, Acts 7:55. And it will be according to God's wonderful power, when at the resurrection we shall be enabled to look upon Christ in his greatest glory. Behold the goodness and severity of God upon Paul: severity upon him in striking of him with blindness in his body; but goodness indeed to him, in enlightening, converting, and saving of his soul.

Acts 22:11

11 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
