Acts 22:13 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 22:13

Came unto me
Being at the house of Judas, in that street of Damascus called Straight, ( Acts 9:11 ) and stood; at the side of him, or by him, putting his hands on him:

and said unto me, brother Saul; (See Gill on Acts 9:17).

receive thy sight,
"or look up",

and the same hour I looked up upon him;
that is, immediately, directly: for so the phrase, "that same hour", is frequently used by the Jews: the words in ( Numbers 16:21 ) "that I may consume them in a moment", are rendered by Onkelos, "that I may consume them in an hour"; for an hour is used for a moment with them.
