Acts 26:12 Context
10Which thing I also did in Hierusalem, and many of the Saints did I shut vp in prison, hauing receiued authoritie from the chiefe Priests, and when they were put to death, I gaue my voyce against them. 11And I punished them oft in euery Synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme, and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them euen vnto strange cities. 12Whereupon, as I went to Damascus, with authoritie and commission from the chiefe Priests: 13At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heauen, aboue the brightnes of the Sunne, shining round about mee, and them which iourneyed with me. 14And when wee were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking vnto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kicke against the prickes.

People's Bible Notes for Acts 26:12
Ac 26:12-14 As I went to Damascus. Compare Ac 9:1-2. This is the third account of Paul's conversion, the first being in Ac 9:3-18, and the second in Ac 22:4-16. There are a few new details given here: (1) The over-powering glory of the Lord is specially dwelt upon here; (2) we are here told that the voice heard was in the "Hebrew language" (he was now speaking Greek to King Agrippa).
