Acts 9:7

Context
9:7 (Now the men 1  who were traveling with him stood there speechless, 2  because they heard the voice but saw no one.) 3 

1 tn The Greek term here is ἀνήρ (anhr), which is used only rarely in a generic sense of both men and women. In the historical setting here, Paul’s traveling companions were almost certainly all males.

2 tn That is, unable to speak because of fear or amazement. See BDAG 335 s.v. ἐνεός.

3 sn This is a parenthetical note by the author. Acts 22:9 appears to indicate that they saw the light but did not hear a voice. They were “witnesses” that something happened.
