Wesley's Notes for Acts 9:8

9:6 It shall be told thee - So God himself sends Saul to be taught by a man, as the angel does Cornelius, #Acts 10:5|. Admirable condescension! that the Lord deals with us by men, like ourselves.

9:7 The men - stood - Having risen before Saul; for they also fell to the ground, #Acts 26:14|. It is probable they all journeyed on foot. Hearing the noise - But not an articulate voice. And seeing the light, but not Jesus himself, #Acts 26:13|, &c.

9:9 And he was three days - An important season! So long he seems to have been in the pangs of the new birth. Without sight - By scales growing over his eyes, to intimate to him the blindness of the state he had been in, to impress him with a deeper sense of the almighty power of Christ, and to turn his thoughts inward, while he was less capable of conversing with outward objects. This was likewise a manifest token to others, of what had happened to him in his journey, and ought to have humbled and convinced those bigoted Jews, to whom he had been sent from the sanhedrim.
