Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Acts 9:7

_ _ the men ... stood speechless — This may mean merely that they remained so; but if the standing posture be intended, we have only to suppose that though at first they “all fell to the earth” (Acts 26:14), they arose of their own accord while Saul yet lay prostrate.

_ _ hearing a — rather “the”

_ _ voice — Paul himself says, “they heard not the voice of Him that spake to me” (Acts 22:9). But just as “the people that stood by heard” the voice that saluted our Lord with recorded words of consolation and assurance, and yet heard not the articulate words, but thought “it thundered” or that some “angel spake to Him” (John 12:28, John 12:29) — so these men heard the voice that spake to Saul, but heard not the articulate words. Apparent discrepancies like these, in the different narratives of the same scene in one and the same book of Acts, furnish the strongest confirmation both of the facts themselves and of the book which records them.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 9:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 9:7

The men — stood — Having risen before Saul; for they also fell to the ground, Acts 26:14. It is probable they all journeyed on foot. Hearing the noise — But not an articulate voice. And seeing the light, but not Jesus himself, Acts 26:13, &c.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Acts 9:7

And the men which journeyed with him (d) stood speechless, hearing a (e) voice, but seeing no man.

(d) Stood still and could not go one step forward, but remained amazed as stood still like statues.

(e) They heard Paul's voice: for afterwards it is plainly said in (Acts 22:9) that they did not hear the voice of the one who spoke. Others, however, try to reconcile these places (which seem to contradict) by saying that the men with Saul heard the sound of a voice, but did not hear it clearly.
