Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 9:14

Here Ananias shows the strengh of his excuse; for flesh and blood cried in him, as in Moses, Exodus 4:13, Send by him whom thou wilt send. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 9:15

He is a chosen vessel: the whole world is God’s fabric, and the church especially is his house: not only in the whole world, but in the visible church, there are all sorts of utensils, some for higher, others for meaner uses; Saul was to be a vessel unto honour, Romans 9:21, into which the treasures of God’s word were to be put, 2 Corinthians 4:7, though he was but an earthen vessel: Such was indeed chosen by God to preach the gospel, Galatians 1:15,Galatians 1:16, to suffer for Christ’s name’s... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 9:16

He shall suffer as great things as he ever did cause or inflict; the hatred of his own countrymen the Jews, and the fury of the Gentiles: see the catalogue of them, 2 Corinthians 11:23-27. And were there ever so many sufferings heaped upon one man? And yet, though all these were foretold unto him, and certainly foreknown by him, he would preach the gospel for all that: much was forgiven him, and he loved much. read more

Entered into the house; the house of Judas, with whom Saul lodged, as Acts 9:11. Putting his hands on him; concerning this, see Acts 6:6, besides on what may be said of this imposition of hands elsewhere: the curing of St. Paul’s blinduess was one reason of putting his hands on him here, for so it was ordinarily done towards the sick or infirm; they laid their hands upon them to heal them, as it was promised that they should do, Mark 16:18. Brother Saul; Saul was become Ananias’s brother, as... read more

Scales, as scales of fish: it was no ordinary blindness, nor from any ordinary cause, and could not have been cured by common means. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Acts 9:1-9

CRITICAL REMARKSActs 9:1. And should be but directing attention once more to Saul. Breathing out.—Breathing in better renders the verb ἐμπνέων, threatening and slaughter describing the atmosphere inhaled. That Saul, a Pharisee of the straitest sect (Acts 26:5), went unto the high-priest, a Sadducee, revealed the intensity of his rage. Whether the high-priest in question was Annas or Caiaphas, deposed in A.D. 35 (Meyer) or 36 (Olshausen), Jonathan A.D. 36–37, Ananus’s son, his successor, or... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Acts 9:10-19

CRITICAL REMARKSActs 9:10. That Ananias (see on Acts 9:1) was one of the Seventy is an unsupported conjecture; that he was a “devout” man Saul afterwards asserts (Acts 22:12); that he had previously heard of Saul he himself declares (Acts 9:13). Luke styles him a disciple, but leaves unrecorded whether his conversion occurred before or after Pentecost. Not the Ananias mentioned by Josephus (Ant., XX. ii. 4) as a Jewish merchant, who converted Izates, King of Adiabene, to the faith of... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Acts 9:1-19

Acts 9:1-19 The Conversion of St. Paul. That blessed war of aggression which Jesus Christ wages upon the evil one is a war which is made to maintain itself. Christ's soldiers are His captured enemies. Every soul won from resistance to the Cross is marked at once with the Cross-badge and sent into the field to win others. Perhaps the most notable instance of this in history is the conversion of Saul. Jesus Christ never encountered a bitterer or an abler foe; Jesus Christ never won a mightier... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Acts 9:1-23

Acts 9:1-23 Early History and Conversion of Paul. Viewed as a public event in the history of the Christian Church, the conversion of Paul furnishes new and independent testimony to the Divine origin of the gospel. The story is perfectly authenticated. Twice did the Apostle repeat it in detail before public assemblies; and the book in which we find it recorded was written less than thirty years after the events were said to have occurred. We learn from the incident: I. The wisdom of God's... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Acts 9:4-5

Acts 9:4-5 The Lord's dealing with St. Paul has been precisely the way of His dealing with thousands and tens of thousands whom He has sought to make in like manner partakers of the light of the everlasting life. Them, too, I. He meets in the way. He hedges up that way with thorns so that they cannot find their path. He stands before them, as He stood before Balaam, with a drawn sword in His hand, willing them to go back to the path of duty and to choose the way of life. He shows them, too, His... read more
