as not yet glorified.' (John 7:39.) Thus the
promise was made, but the fulfilment came after, so that the Holy Ghost
sent by Jesus from the Father did not come in person until the day of
Pentecost, and the cloven tongues of fire were the sign of His coming."

[1429] In view of Saul's social status and recognized ability, many
believe him to have been a member of the Sanhedrin; but for this
assumption we find no definite warrant in scripture.
[1430] Acts 7:58; 8:1-3.
[1431] Acts 8:1.
[1432] Acts 9:1, 2. Observe that "way" here used for the first time to
connote the gospel or religion of Christ, occurs frequently in Acts
(16:17; 18:25, 26; 19:9, 23; 22:4; 24:14, 22).
[1433] Three versions of this manifestation and its immediate results
appear in Acts (9:3-29; 22:6-16; and 26:12-18): the first is the
historian's narrative, while the others are given as reports of Saul's
own words.
