Paul's Embellished Story
- In Acts 26, Paul embellishes the story of his calling with details absent from Acts 9.
- He adds details like the light's radiance, dialogue with God, and his mission.
Paul as Jonah
- Paul's embellishments, like "kicking against the goats," connect to the prophet Jonah.
- Jonah's three days in the fish parallel Paul's three days of blindness and the scales falling from his eyes.
Paul as Ezekiel
- Paul's account mirrors Ezekiel's calling in Ezekiel 1, with similar descriptions of light and God's command to stand.
- Both were called to confront the stubborn people of God.
