"To open their eyes," &c.,Acts 26:18; Acts 26:18 , yet they shall fly at thine eyes, as frantic people fly in the faces of their physicians; they shall fly against the light that thou shalt set up among them, as bats do, because their works are evil; they shall kick and wince, as horse and mule at those that... read more

Went about to kill me ] Gr. διαχειρισασθαι , to tear me in pieces, or pull me limb from limb with their own hands, as the Senators did Romulus, and afterward Caesar.

22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: Ver. 22. Saying none other thing ] Truth is one and the same in all ages; it is also ancient, and ever at agreement with itself. As on the other side, error is new, manifold, dissonant, and contradictory to itself, and much more to the truth. Paul delivered no new truths, but stood in the good old way of... read more

As if St Paul should hold forth these questions,... read more

14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. Ver. 14. I heard a voice ] I not only saw a sign. So in the transfiguration, a voice came forth to them from the excellent glory. Signo verbum est coniungendum.
