John Trapp Complete Commentary - Acts 9:9

9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. Ver. 9. And he was three days ] In this three days’ darkness, some gather by computation of time, that he was now rapped up into the third heaven, and heard those wordless words, ρηματα αρρητα , 2 Corinthians 12:4 , after that he had been thoroughly humbled. Luther likewise lay (after his conversion) three days in desperation, as Mr Perkins remembereth in his book of Spiritual Desertion, his temptations were so violent, ut... read more

11 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: for, behold, he prayeth, Ver. 11. The street called Straight ] God’s people are so dear to him, that their walls are ever before him,Isaiah 49:16; Isaiah 49:16 ; he loveth the streets the better they dwell in, the air the better they breathe in, Psalms 87:5-6 .

12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight. Ver. 12. And hath seen in a vision ] It is not certain whether these be Christ’s own words, or St Luke’s; neither is it much material. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Acts 9:13

13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: Ver. 13. Then Ananias answered ] The best have their unnecessary fears, and think they have reason on their side; but convinced, they soon subscribe to God.
