<p>26:15 <i>And I said: Who are you, Lord? And the Lord said: I am Jesus whom you persecute</i>- The question &quot;Why?&quot; was answered by Saul with the question &quot;Who are you, Lord?&quot;. This may not have been a request for information. It is perhaps in the spirit of Jacob's meeting with Angel, wrestling God as Saul had done, and then asking the Angel's name as Jacob did (Gen. 32:29). As the Lord Jesus called Saul by name, so the Angel gave Jacob a new name, Israel. And it could be that although unrecorded, the Lord then changed Saul to Paul. To ask someone's name can be understood as a Hebraism for recognizing their greatness or superiority.</p>
