Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And Ananias went his way,....

In Christ.


Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Putting his hands on him - This was not "ordination," but was the usual mode of imparting or communicating blessings. See the notes on Matthew 19:13; Matthew 9:18.

Geneva Study Bible

And Ananias went his way, and entered into {i} 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.

(i) Into Judas' house.


People's New Testament

9:17 Ananias... putting his hands on him. Not to convey a gift, but as a friendly act, significant of God's blessing.

That thou mightest receive thy sight. His sight returned immediately after (Ac 9:18).

And be filled with the Holy Ghost. There is no proof whatever that any spiritual gifts were imparted, nor that any but apostles could confer these gifts (see PNT Ac 6:8 ), and Paul always asserted that he received his signs of apostleship, not of men, but of Christ. See Ga 1:1,11,12. The being filled with the Holy Spirit took place after the baptism at the hands of Ananias.


Wesley's Notes

9:17 The Lord hath sent me - Ananias does not tell Saul all which Christ had said concerning him. It was not expedient that he should know yet to how great a dignity he was called.


Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

17-19. Ananias went his way, and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul-How beautifully childlike is the obedience of Ananias to "the heavenly vision!"

the Lord, even Jesus-This clearly shows in what sense the term "Lord" is used in this book. It is Jesus that is meant, as almost invariably in the Epistles also.
