Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; One of those to whom Paul had intended to pay his cruel respects. Act_9:10. And to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold I am here, Lord. A grand way to be able to answer the Lord at all times. May we never be, dear friends, where we shall be ashamed to say, “Behold,...

And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus: The Lord knows the whereabouts of his people.

But the Lord said unto him,...

And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight. You see how true revelations fit into each other. Something is revealed to Ananias, and it is also revealed to Saul, and therefore it is proved to be true. Some years ago, a brother told me that he had had it revealed to him that...

; Act_9:21. And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he...

And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, Oh! what new words, “brother Saul”! A few days before no man durst have used such language of familiarity to this mighty disciple of Gamaliel, armed with authority from the chief priests. Now how sweetly it must have sounded on his ear, “brother...

And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. What else should a believer be but be baptized? It is the very...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. It seemed unimportant to put that in here, did it not? Yet it is not so. While grace heals the infirmities of the mind, bodily food is still wanted for the body; and sometimes it is well with your young convert, when he has been a long time in distress of mind, that you refresh him in body, as...

Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. And had they ever heard such a preacher before? How they gnashed their teeth on him — the unbelievers; and how the timid saints crept in and heard this man advocate — this man who had had a...

And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Do admire the tenderness of the Holy Spirit in recording that Saul received meat, and was strengthened. He had been without food or drink for three days and nights, so that it was as right for him to partake of food as to confess his faith by being baptized. Act_9:19. Then was Saul certain days...

And said; is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?

And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. They did not admit anybody and everybody into the Church. They guarded it as Christ’s Church should be guarded, that unworthy people might not enter it. If any of you should be kept back a...

But Barnabus took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
