What the Fathers say

Acts 26:13

Eastern Fathers

Theophylact of Ohrid

Reporting about a radiance brighter than sensible light and considering it impossible to liken the light of Jesus to sunlight, Paul, in order to convey the phenomenon in a way that human hearing can receive, says: this light far surpasses sunlight.

Commentary on Acts ↗

Oecumenius

"brighter than the sun." He then likens it to that which among sensible things is most luminous; since that light could not be equated with the light of Jesus, which is far greater, he speaks in this way, so that human hearing may receive it, and says that that light surpasses the brilliance of the sun. [AMMONIUS]
