People's Commentary (NT)
Acts 9:17 Ananias . . . putting his hands on him. Not to convey a gift, but as a friendly act, significant of God's blessing. That thou mightest receive thy sight. His sight returned immediately after (Acts 9:18). And be filled with the Holy Ghost. There is no proof whatever that any spiritual gifts were imparted, nor that any but apostles could confer these gifts (see PNT "Ac 6:8"), and Paul always asserted that he received his signs of apostleship, not of men, but of Christ. See Galatians 1:1. The being "filled with the Holy Spirit" took place after the baptism at the hands of Ananias.
