A companion Bible study from Vince Baker Ministries
How do Saul’s vision and Ananias’s visit fit together?
Jesus confronts Saul, then sends Ananias to lay hands on him so he may regain sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Read the passage in context
- Acts 9:1–22 · KJV
Acts 9 gives both men instructions. Reading both encounters keeps the story from becoming only a private vision.
From the passage to daily life
Notice that Saul receives help from a member of the community he had threatened. The Lord’s work changes the relationship between them.
