Apostelgeschichte 9:7 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 9:7

And the men which journeyed with him
Out of respect to him, to keep him company; or rather to assist him in his designs:

stood speechless:
astonished and amazed, they had not power to speak one word, nor to rise from the ground, and move one step forward; they were as if they were thunderstruck, and fastened to the earth; for this standing is not opposed to their being fallen to the earth, but to their going forward, and only expresses the surprise and stupidity that had seized them:

hearing a voice, but seeing no man;
that is, they heard the voice of Saul, saying, who art thou? and what wilt thou have me to do? but saw nobody that he spoke to, which surprised them; for it is certain they did not hear the voice of Christ, that spake to him, ( Acts 22:9 ) or if they heard the voice of Christ, it was only the sound of his voice, but did not understand what he said; but the former seems rather to be the sense, and the best way of reconciling the two passages.

5 Er aber sprach: HERR, wer bist du? Der HERR sprach: Ich bin Jesus, den du verfolgst. Es wird dir schwer werden, wider den Stachel zu lecken.
6 Und er sprach mit Zittern und Zagen: HERR, was willst du, daß ich tun soll? Der HERR sprach zu ihm: Stehe auf und gehe in die Stadt; da wird man dir sagen, was du tun sollst.
7 Die MÀnner aber, die seine GefÀhrten waren, standen und waren erstarrt; denn sie hörten die Stimme, und sahen niemand.
8 Saulus aber richtete sich auf von der Erde; und als er seine Augen auftat, sah er niemand. Sie nahmen ihn bei der Hand und fĂŒhrten ihn gen Damaskus;
9 und er war drei Tage nicht sehend und aß nicht und trank nicht.
