Exegesis
The verse opens with the genitive phrase hemeras meses {ἡμέρας μέσης | hē-mé-ras mé-sēs} “of midday,” a temporal genitive that situates the event at the brightest part of the day, thereby heightening the contrast with the supernatural light.
In context — Acts 26:13
At midday , O king, along the road I saw a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining around me and those journeying with me.
