This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
7. ἤκουσα φωνῆς, I heard a voice. As in chap. Act 9:4; Act 9:7, so here, and below in Act 22:9, the case of the noun is varied, so as to mark that the hearing in St Paul’s case was different from the hearing of his companions. The verb can be connected with either a genitive or accusative case. In both the narratives a variation is made, and it was not without its significance (see notes on chap. 9). St Paul heard intelligible words, the others heard a sound, but it was not speech to them. Cf. the narrative in Dan 10:6-9.
