Exegesis
The adverb ouranothen {οὐρανόθεν | ou-ra-nó-then} “from heaven” denotes the origin of the light, while the prepositional phrase huper ten lamprotetā tou hēliou {ὑπὲρ τὴν λαμπρότητα τοῦ ἡλίου | hy-pér tḗn lam-pró-te-ta toû hē-lí-ou} expresses comparison, “above the brightness of the sun,” stressing the surpassing intensity of this light over the natural sun at midday.
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.
