This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
12. Ἀνανίας δέ τις, ἀνὴρ εὐλαβὴς κατὰ τὸν νόμον, and Ananias, a devout man according to the Law. The Apostle neglects nothing in his address which can conciliate his audience, and so he tells them that the messenger whom God sent to him was ‘well reported of by all the Jews that dwelt in Damascus.’ (For Ananias see note on Act 9:10.) The hostility towards Christians, which was so strong in Jerusalem, had not at the time of St Paul’s conversion manifested itself so greatly in Damascus, since Ananias, ‘a disciple,’ was still in good repute with the Jews there.
