Exegesis
The aorist participle perilampsan {περιλάμψαν | pe-ri-lámp-san} “having shone around” is accusative neuter singular and agrees with phos {φῶς | phôs} “light,” forming the unit me phos perilampsan “a light having shone around me.” This construction depicts the light as encircling Paul, not merely appearing at a distance.
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.
