2 Kings 6:17

6:17 Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes so he can see.” The Lord opened the servant’s eyes and he saw that the hill was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Acts 9:7

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

Acts 22:9

22:9 Those who were with me saw the light, but did not understand the voice of the one who was speaking to me.

tn Heb “and he saw, and look.”

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.

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

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.

tn Grk “did not hear” (but see Acts 9:7). BDAG 38 s.v. ἀκούω 7 has “W. acc. τὸν νόμον understand the law Gal 4:21; perh. Ac 22:9; 26:14…belong here.” If the word has this sense here, then a metonymy is present, since the lack of effect is put for a failure to appreciate what was heard.
