For I will show him
In vision, and by prophecy, either now, or hereafter; or by
facts, as they come upon him:
how great things he must suffer for my name's
sake;
such as weariness, pain, and watchings, hunger, thirst, fastings,
cold, and nakedness, perils on various accounts, and from
different quarters, stripes, scourges, imprisonment, shipwreck,
stoning, and death, of which he himself gives a detail, (
2 Corinthians 11:23-28 ) so that Ananias had no reason to be
afraid to go to him, and converse with him, and do unto him as he
was directed.
