Compare all
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.”  
18 Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized.
19 So when he had received food, he was strengthened. aThen Saul spent some days with the disciples at Damascus.  

Saul Preaches Christ

20 Immediately he preached1 the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.  
21 Then all who heard were amazed, and said, a“Is this not he who destroyed those who called on this name in Jerusalem, and has come here for that purpose, so that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?”

Acts 9:17

Laying his hands on him (epiqeiv ep auton tav xeirav). As in the vision Saul saw (verse Acts 9:12).

Brother Saul (Saoul adelfe). All suspicion has vanished and Ananias takes Saul to his heart as a brother in Christ. It was a gracious word to Saul now under suspicion on both sides.

The Lord, even Jesus (o kurios, Ihsouv). Undoubted use of kuriov as Lord and applied to Jesus.

Who appeared (o ofqeiv). First aorist passive participle of oraw, was seen as in Acts 26:16 and with the dative also (soi).

Thou camest (hrxou). Imperfect indicative middle, "thou wert coming."

Be filled with the Holy Spirit (plhsqeiv pneumatov agiou). This enduement of special power he will need as an apostle (Hackett) and as promised by Jesus (Acts 1:8; Galatians 2:7).
