Acts 22:11 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 22:11
I could not see for the glory of that light—Physical blindness symbolized Saul's spiritual blindness to Christ's messiahship. The Greek 'doxa' (δόξα, glory) connects this light to the Shekinah glory of God. Being led by the hand (χειραγωγούμενος) reverses Saul's authoritative arrival with arrest warrants—the persecutor becomes helpless, dependent. The three-day blindness (Acts 9:9) parallels Jonah's three days, Jesus' death and resurrection, and creates the darkness necessary for spiritual sight. Paul's conversion required the humiliation of the self-righteous Pharisee.
