TSNTyndale Study Notes:

9:1-19 The conversion of Saul of Tarsus on the Damascus road is of central importance to the narrative of Acts—Luke recounts the story three times (also 22:1-21; 26:1-29). Paul (Saul) also alludes to this experience several times in his letters (1 Cor 15:8-10; Gal 1:11-17; Phil 3:4-11; see 1 Tim 1:12-17). Saul’s conversion was his prophetic call and commission as an apostle (Acts 9:15; 22:15, 21; 26:15-18). No one is beyond the power of God to reach, redeem, and use for holy purposes—nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37). Paul was prepared through his training, upbringing, and experience to play a unique role in taking the gospel into the broader world as the “apostle to the Gentiles” (Rom 11:13; see 1 Cor 15:9; 2 Cor 12:11-12; Gal 1:1; Eph 3:8).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-politeness

τίς εἶ, κύριε?

who ˱you˲_are lord

Saul is not yet acknowledging that Jesus is Lord. He uses that title because he recognizes that he is speaking to someone of divine power. If this might be confusing for your readers, you could use a similar term of respect. Alternate translation: [Who are you, Sir]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

εἶπεν & ὁ

˱he˲_said & he

The first instance of he stands for Saul, and the second instance of he stands for Jesus. Alternate translation: [Saul said … Jesus replied]

εἶ & σὺ

˱you˲_are & you

Both occurrences of the word you here are singular.
