This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 9:12. [Καὶ εἶδεν, and hath seen) A pair of visions, the one of which corresponds to the other; as in this place the corresponding visions vouchsafed to Ananias and Saul respectively, set aside all suspicion of fallacious fantasy (phantasm). The same observation applies also in the case of Cornelius and Peter, ch. 10.-V. g.]-Ἀνανίαν, Ananias) This name Saul caught up, either with his ear or his mind, during the vision.-ὅπως ἀναβλέψῃ, that he may recover his sight) The peculiar (extraordinary) effect of laying on the hands is expressed: the more ordinary one is to be understood: Act 9:17, “that thou mightest be filled with the Holy Ghost.”
