Key Reflection

This passage highlights Saul's (later Paul) divine calling. It indicates that God had chosen him to fulfill specific purposes—to understand His will, recognize the Messiah, and receive direct revelation from Him, despite his initial rejection of Christ.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 15. For thou shalt be his witness, etc. As an apostle to testify to all men that the Messiah has come, that he has died, that he has risen, and that he is the Saviour of the world. Of what thou hast seen and heard. Of the remarkable proof which has been furnished you of the Divine mission and character of the Lord Jesus. {d} "thou shalt" Ac 23:11; 16:16 __________________________________________________________________
