使徒の働き 9:15-17 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 9:17

Departed for went his way, A.V.; laying for putting, A.V.; who appeared for that appeared, A.V. ; which thou earnest for as, etc., A.V.; mayest for mightest, A.V. The laying on of hands is the medium of conveying any special grace. Here it precedes the baptism, and was the channel of restoring sight to his eyes. Doubtless he did not receive the Holy Ghost till after his baptism (see Acts 2:38 .) read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 9:17-19

A parable in things spiritual. We entertain no doubt that we have here a simplest history of what actually occurred. We doubt no less that the chiefest interest and significance of the record lie in the spiritual history that underlies it. Nay, more, though we read facts of outer life, they do nothing mere than outline those of an inner life, which Jesus notices, loves, helps, and even makes. Notice— I. THE CHANGE THAT PASSES ON SAUL . He receives his sight. For three... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 9:15

Go thy way - This is often the only answer that we obtain to the suggestion of our doubts and hesitations about duty. God tells us still to do what he requires, with an assurance only that his commands are just, and that there are good reasons for them.A chosen vessel - The usual meaning of the word “vessel” is well known. It commonly denotes a “cup or basin,” such as is used in a house. It then denotes “any instrument which may be used to accomplish a purpose, perhaps particularly with the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 9:16

For I will show him ... - This seems to be added to encourage Ananias. He had feared Saul. The Lord now informs him that Saul, hitherto his enemy, would ever after be his friend. He would not merely profess repentance, but would manifest the sincerity of it by encountering trials and reproaches for his sake. The prediction here was fully accomplished, Acts 20:23; 2 Corinthians 11:23-27; 2 Timothy 1:11-12. read more

Acts 9:15-16. But the Lord said, Go thy way Do not tell me how bad he has been; I know it well; but go with all speed, and execute that message of mercy with which I have charged thee; for How great and aggravated soever his former transgressions may have been, I assure thee he is a chosen vessel Or instrument; unto me, to bear my name That is, to testify of me, and bear witness of my truth; before the Gentiles Ενωπιον εθνων , before nations, namely, heathen nations; and kings ... read more

Acts 9:17-19. And Ananias went his way With all readiness and joy undertook the message, not presuming to object any further; and entered into the house To which he had been so particularly directed; and putting his hands on him According to Christ’s direction, Mark 16:18; said, Brother Saul So he terms him, because he was made a partaker of the grace of God, though not yet baptized; and his readiness to own Saul as a brother intimated to him God’s readiness to own him as a son,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 9:1-19

Conversion of Saul (9:1-19a)The name by which Christianity was known was ‘the Way’ (see 9:2; 19:9,23; 22:4; 24:14,22). Possibly the name originated with the Christians themselves, who believed their movement was the way of the Lord, the way of salvation and the way of life. But to the Christians’ opponents the name represented a movement that had to be destroyed.By this time the gospel had spread north at least as far as the Syrian city of Damascus, which had a large Jewish population.
