Exegesis

The coordinated object phrase kai tous sun emoi poreuomenous {καὶ τοὺς σὺν ἐμοὶ πορευομένους | kaí toús syn e-moí po-reu-o-mé-nous} expands the scope from Paul alone to “those who were journeying with me,” with sun emoi “with me” embedded before the participle poreuomenous “journeying,” emphasizing shared participation in the experience. In translation, the temporal genitive is rendered as an adverbial phrase “At midday” / “Around noon,” the comparative huper with a clear “above the brightness” / “brighter than,” and the participial perilampsan as “shining around / shining all around,” preserving both the vividness and the encompassing nature of the light’s action.
