class="studyNoteGroup"><ul class="content"><li class="item studyNote" data-extract-id=""><span class="scalableui"><p id="p7" data-pid="7" class="s5"><strong>letters:</strong> In the first century C.E., people relied on letters from a credible source to introduce a stranger and to authenticate his or her identity or authority. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070698/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">Ro 16:1;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070698/2/1" data-bid="3-2" class="b"> 2Co 3:1-3</a>) Jews in Rome referred to this kind of communication. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070698/3/0" data-bid="4-1" class="b">Ac 28:21</a>) The letters Saul requested from the high priest and addressed to the synagogues in Damascus authorized him to persecute the Jewish Christians in that city. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070698/4/0" data-bid="5-1" class="b">Ac 9:1, 2</a>) The letters Saul requested apparently asked the synagogues in Damascus to cooperate with Saul in his campaign against the Christians.</p> <p id="p8" data-pid="8" class="s5"><strong>Damascus:</strong> Located in modern-day Syria, Damascus is said to be one of the oldest cities in the world to be continuously inhabited from the time it was founded. The patriarch Abraham may have passed by or through this city on his way S to Canaan. At some point, he took Eliezer, “a man of Damascus,” into his household as a servant. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070698/5/0" data-bid="6-1" class="b">Ge 15:2</a>) Nearly a thousand years later, Damascus reappears in the Bible account. (See Glossary, “<a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070698/2/0">Aram; Aramaeans</a>.”) At this time, the Syrians (Aramaeans) were at war with Israel, and the two nations became enemies. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070698/6/0" data-bid="7-1" class="b">1Ki 11:23-25</a>) In the first century, Damascus was part of the Roman province of Syria. By that time, Damascus had a Jewish population of perhaps some 20,000 and a number of <strong>synagogues.</strong> Saul may have targeted the Christians living in Damascus because the city was located at the crossroads of important travel routes and he feared that Christian teachings would quickly spread from that city.—See <a class="it" href="/en/wol/tc/r1/lp-e/1001070698/0">App. B13</a>.</p> <p id="p9" data-pid="9" class="s5"><strong>The Way:</strong> A designation used in the book of Acts to refer to the Christian way of life and the early Christian congregation. It may have roots in Jesus’ statement at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070698/7/0" data-bid="8-1" class="b">Joh 14:6</a>: “I am the way.” Those who became followers of Jesus were spoken of as belonging to “The Way,” that is, they kept a way of life following Jesus’ example. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070698/8/0" data-bid="9-1" class="b">Ac 19:9</a>) His life centered on worship of the only true God, Jehovah. For Christians, this manner of life also focused on faith in Jesus Christ. Possibly as early as the year 44 C.E., in Syrian Antioch, disciples of Jesus “were by divine providence called Christians.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070698/9/0" data-bid="10-1" class="b">Ac 11:26</a>) However, even after that designation was applied, Luke refers to the congregation as “The Way” or “this Way.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070698/10/0" data-bid="11-1" class="b">Ac

That account taken together with this account gives the full picture of what happened. The Greek words used in both accounts are the same, but the grammar is different. The Greek term <em>pho·neʹ</em> could be rendered both “sound” and “voice.” Here it is in the genitive case and is therefore rendered “the sound of a voice.” (At <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070698/13/0" data-bid="14-1" class="b">Ac 22:9</a>, the same Greek word is in the accusative case and is rendered “voice.”) So the men accompanying Paul heard the sound of a voice but apparently could not hear <em>and</em> understand the words spoken.
