Acts 9:6
Compare all
4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, awhy are you persecuting Me?”  
5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.1 It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”  
6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
7 And athe men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one.  
8 Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

Ananias Baptizes Saul

10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus anamed Ananias; and to him the Lord said in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”  
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.

Acts 9:6

The best MSS. do not have "trembling and astonished," and "What wilt thou have me to do, Lord?" The Textus Receptus put these words in here without the authority of a Greek codex. See Acts 22:10 above for the genuine text.

It shall be told thee (lalhqhsetai). Future passive indicative of lalew. It is hardly likely that Luke records all that Jesus said to Saul, but more was to come on his arrival in Damascus. Saul had received all that he could bear just now (John 16:12).

What (oti). Rare in Koin‚ use of this indefinite neuter relative in an indirect question, the only example in the N.T. (Robertson, Grammar, p. 731). Human agents like Ananias can finish what Jesus by supernatural manifestation has here begun in Saul.
