It could be that they heard the voice of Saul, saying, "who are you?" and "what will you have me to do?" but saw nobody that he spoke to, which surprised them; for it is certain they did not hear the voice of Christ, who spoke to Paul - Acts 22:9 - or if they heard the voice of Christ, it was only the sound of his voice, but did not understand what he said; but the first explanation seems the best way of reconciling the two passages.

The accounts in Acts 9:7 and Acts 22:9 differ in details because they were given by different people at different times. In Acts 9:7, those with Paul heard the voice but saw no one; in Acts 22:9, Paul says they saw the light but did not understand the voice. These variations do not change the main point of the story, which is Paul's encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus.
