Bible Note: Steve: I want you to know how much I appreciate both you and Jeff and your participation in the forum. Jeff has given an excellent answer to the question about the voice in Acts 9:7 and Acts 22:9. Following is additional information on the subject. 'When Paul was on the road to Damascus he saw a light and heard a voice. Did those who were with him hear the voice (Acts 9:7), or did they not (Acts 22:9)? '(Category: misunderstood the Greek usage or the text is compatible with a little thought) 'Although the same Greek word is used in both accounts (akouo), it has two distinct meanings: to perceive sound and to understand. Therefore, the explanation is clear: they heard something but did not understand what it was saying. Paul, on the other hand, heard and understood. There is no contradiction.'
