Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 22:10

See Poole on "Acts 9:6". Such things as Ananias told him from Christ, were as if Christ himself had told him them; and by Ananias our Saviour satisfied St. Paul’s question, What shall I do, Lord? read more

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

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... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 22:12

According to the law; this is added to distinguish him from a proselyte, and to let them know that he had received the gospel, not from a convert out of Gentilism, (who though they admitted, yet they had a greater jealousy over, and less kindness for), but from one like unto themselves in all things. read more

Stood; that in this posture he might more conveniently put his hands upon Paul; which we read that he now did, Acts 9:17, and was ordinarily done upon the miraculous curing of any. The same hour; or, as Acts 9:18, immediately. The suddenness of the cures spake the power from whence they came: none but God saves and delivers after this manner. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 22:14

The God of our fathers; nothing could please the people better than to hear God so styled; for this they gloried in, above all things, that they and theirs had God to their Father, John 8:41. And nothing could better suit St. Paul’s purpose, who would not lie under that scandal of endeavouring an apostacy from the Jewish religion, (for the gospel which he preached was but the substance and perfection of the law), or that he served or worshipped any other God than the God of Abraham. Hath chosen... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 22:15

His witness; the apostles were in a more special manner Christ’s witnesses; as Luke 24:48; John 1:7; Acts 1:8; God giving them extraordinary gifts, not for their own sakes chiefly, but to profit others withal; as the tree bears not fruit, nor the field yields its increase, for itself. Of what thou hast seen and heard; not that St. Paul’s commission extended only to the publishing this wonder at his conversion: for he was intrusted with the gospel, and had that treasure in his earthen vessel:... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 22:16

Wash away thy sins; as washing causeth the spots to disappear, and to be as if they had not been, Isaiah 1:18; so does pardoning mercy, or remission of sins, which accompanieth baptism, as in the due receiver, Matthew 3:11; 1 Peter 3:21,1 Peter 3:22. Where true faith is, together with the profession of it by baptism, there is salvation promised, Mark 16:16. In the mean while it is not the water, (for that only signifies), but it is the blood of Christ, which is thereby signified, that cleanseth... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 22:17

This was probably about three years after his conversion, as Galatians 1:18, and was one of the visions and revelations he makes mention of, 2 Corinthians 12:1. A trance; a rapture and ecstasy, as Acts 10:10. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 22:18

Get thee quickly out of Jerusalem; this St. Paul takes notice of, that it might appear unto the Jews that he did not out of choice, or because he bare a grudge against them, decline them, and preach to the Gentiles. For they will not receive thy testimony concerning me; as if Christ had said, They who were appointed unto life, and were curable, are already cured; but the rest who are hardened, nothing remains for them but utter destruction. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 22:19

This was Paul’s objection which he made against the will of God concerning his leaving Jerusalem, and the Jews in it; and shows how apt carnal reason is in the very best men to set up itself against the wisdom of God, and to argue for what we fancy best to be done, or left undone. The sum of his reasoning is this, That he was most likely to do more good amongst the Jews than amongst the Gentiles, whither God was sending of him, because the Jews knew how zealous he had been not only to observe... read more
