Atti 9:12 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 9:12

And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias
Some read this verse in a parenthesis, and take them to be the words of Luke the historian; but it is rather a continuation of the words of Christ, telling Ananias, for his greater encouragement to go to Saul, that he had seen him in a vision, and had knowledge both of his person, and of his name, and of what he was to do to him; for in the vision or dream, he had been represented to him as

coming in;
to the house, and into the room where he was:

and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight;
without which he had been three days, and which he did receive upon Ananias's putting his hands on him.

Atti 9:12 In-Context

10 Or in Damasco v’era un certo discepolo, chiamato per nome Anania, al quale il Signore disse in visione: Anania. Ed egli disse: Eccomi, Signore.

11 E il Signore gli disse: Levati, e vattene nella strada detta Diritta; e cerca, in casa di Giuda, un uomo chiamato per nome Saulo, da Tarso; perciocchè, ecco, egli fa orazione.

12 Or egli avea veduto in visione un uomo, chiamato per nome Anania, entrare, ed imporgli la mano, acciocchè ricoverasse la vista.

13 Ed Anania rispose: Signore, io ho udito da molti di quest’uomo, quanti mali egli ha fatti a’ tuoi santi in Gerusalemme.

14 E qui eziandio ha podestà da’ principali sacerdoti di far prigioni tutti coloro che invocano il tuo nome.
