<p>26:13- see on Acts 22:6.</p><p><i>But at midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining around me and those that journeyed with me</i>- The repeated &quot;O King&quot; is because Paul was specifically seeking to convert Agrippa. His spiritual ambition in attempting this is an encouragement to us all in our witness to those who seem so unreachable by the Gospel we preach. &quot;Shining around me&quot; suggests the light was not shone down from Heaven as in a beam; but that the Lord Himself stood near Paul, next to him. The word literally means 'to be a halo around'. Paul was in this sense sanctified, made a saint, through standing with the Lord. Those with him could have responded to this grace too, but chose not to. &quot;And those that journeyed with me&quot; would suggest that the Lord sought to bring them from darkness to light also, but they refused to understand the word spoken, although they heard it.</p>
