Acts 9:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 9:13

11 So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul ^aof Tarsus, for behold, he is praying.

12 And in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight.”

13 Then Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, ^ahow much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.

14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all ^awho call on Your name.”

15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for ^ahe is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before ^bGentiles, ^ckings, and the ^dchildren of Israel.

16 For ^aI will show him how many things he must suffer for My ^bname’s sake.”

17 ^aAnd Ananias went his way and entered the house; and ^blaying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord¹ Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and ^cbe filled with the Holy Spirit.”
