Atti 9:9 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 9:9

And he was three days without sight
Without bodily sight; for otherwise all this while his spiritual sight was increasing, and Christ was giving him by his Spirit a full view of himself, his state and case, and where his salvation was; and a clear insight into the doctrines of the Gospel, which he is said to have by the revelation of Christ, whereby he was fitted for the immediate preaching of it:

and neither did eat nor drink;
having no regard unto, or time for either; being filled with grief and sorrow, and true repentance for sin, and taken up in prayer to God, and employed in attending to, and receiving the doctrines of grace, he was afterwards to publish.

Atti 9:9 In-Context

7 Or gli uomini che facevano il viaggio con lui ristettero attoniti, udendo ben la voce, ma non veggendo alcuno.

8 E Saulo si levò da terra; ed aprendo gli occhi, non vedeva alcuno; e coloro, menandolo per la mano, lo condussero in Damasco.

9 E fu tre giorni senza vedere, ne’ quali non mangiò, e non bevve.

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.
