This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I fell (epesa). Second aorist active indicative with ̇a rather than epeson, the usual form of piptō.
Unto the ground (eis to edaphos). Old word, here alone in N.T. So the verb edaphizō, is in Luk 19:44 alone in the N.T.
A voice saying (phōnēs legousēs). Genitive after ēkousa, though in Act 26:14 the accusative is used after ēkousa, as in Act 22:14 after akousai, either being allowable. See note on Act 9:7 for discussion of the difference in case. Saul’s name repeated each time (Act 9:4; Act 22:7; Act 26:14). Same question also in each report: “Why persecuted thou me?” (Ti me diōkeiṡ). These piercing words stuck in Paul’s mind.
