{Lord} (kurie). It is open to question if kurie should
not here be translated "Sir" as in  16:30  and in  Mt 21:29,30  Joh 5:7  12:21  20:15 ; and should be so in  Joh 9:36 . It is
hardly likely that at this stage Saul recognized Jesus as Lord,
though he does so greet him in  22:10  "What shall I do, Lord?"
Saul may have recognized the vision as from God as Cornelius says
"Lord" in  10:4 . Saul surrendered instantly as Thomas did ( Joh
20:28 ) and as little Samuel ( 1Sa 3:9 ). This surrender of the
will to Christ was the conversion of Saul. He saw a real Person,
the Risen Christ, to whom he surrendered his life. On this point
he never wavered for a moment to the end.
