Atos 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.

Atos 9:12 In-Context

10 Em Damasco havia um discípulo chamado Ananias. O Senhor o chamou numa visão: “Ananias!”“Eis-me aqui, Senhor”, respondeu ele.

11 O Senhor lhe disse: “Vá à casa de Judas, na rua chamada Direita, e pergunte por um homem de Tarso chamado Saulo. Ele está orando;

12 numa visão viu um homem chamado Ananias chegar e impor-lhe as mãos para que voltasse a ver”.

13 Respondeu Ananias: “Senhor, tenho ouvido muita coisa a respeito desse homem e de todo o mal que ele tem feito aos teus santos em Jerusalém.

14 Ele chegou aqui com autorização dos chefes dos sacerdotes para prender todos os que invocam o teu nome”.
