A companion Bible study from Vince Baker Ministries
What happened when Saul was filled with the Holy Spirit?
Ananias laid hands on Saul, who regained his sight, was baptized, and soon began proclaiming Jesus.
Read the passage in context
- Acts 9:10–22 · KJV
The title points readers toward Saul’s encounter with the Spirit. Read Acts 9 beside Acts 22, where Paul later remembers Ananias and his commission.
From the passage to daily life
Ananias knew Saul’s reputation and needed courage to visit him. Saul’s story shows the Lord working through a disciple whose obedience could have looked risky and small.
Discussion and reflection

Put the study into practice
Read Acts 9:10–17 and consider one person your church may be slow to welcome.
