This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Lord (kurie). It is open to question if kurie should not here be translated “Sir” as in Act 16:30 and in Mat 21:29, Mat 21:30; Joh 5:7; Joh 12:21; Joh 20:15; and should be so in Joh 9:36. It is hardly likely that at this stage Saul recognized Jesus as Lord, though he does so greet him in Act 22:10 “What shall I do, Lord?” Saul may have recognized the vision as from God as Cornelius says “Lord” in Act 10:4. Saul surrendered instantly as Thomas did (Joh 20:28) and as little Samuel (1Sa 3:9). This surrender of the will to Christ was the conversion of Saul. He saw a real Person, the Risen Christ, to whom he surrendered his life. On this point he never wavered for a moment to the end.
