Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

It was not so much this glaring light that, by dazzling his eyes, had dimmed them--Nimium sensibile lædit sensum; for then those with him would have lost their sight too; but it was a sight of Christ, whom the rest saw not, that had this effect upon him. Thus a believing sight of the glory of God in the face of Christ dazzles the eyes to all things here below.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. As for God, his work is perfect; if he begin, he will make an end: a good work was begun in Saul, when he was brought to Christ's feet, in that word, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And never did Christ leave any that were brought to that.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink--that is, according to the Hebrew mode of computation: he took no food during the remainder of that day, the entire day following, and so much of the subsequent day as elapsed before the visit of Ananias.
