Saul’s Sight of the Lord Jesus
It is widely taught that there are contradictions in the two accounts of the conversion of Saul, in Acts 9:7 and 22: 9. Let us carefully compare them. Both Saul and those who traveled with him are mentioned. Saul saw the Lord Jesus Christ, was blinded by the light, heard Him speak words to him personally, addressing him in the Hebrew tongue, calling him by name, and Saul replied. The men who were with him saw the light, were alarmed, did not speak a word, saw no one, but heard a voice or sound. In Acts 9:7 we read,
The men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice [or sound] but seeing no man.
In Acts 22:9, we read,
They that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
In these Scriptures there is surely no discrepancy.
