Read Acts 22.12-21. In verses 12-14: Ananias is now credited with being devout according to the law (9.10), and he speaks for the God of our ancestors (9.17). For Jesus' identity as the Righteous One, see comments on Lk 23.47; Acts 3.14; 7.52. In verses 17-18: The story of Paul's trance in the temple , only told here, recalls Peter's trance (10.10; 11.5) and echoes the call of Isaiah in the Temple (Isa 6.1-13). In verse 21: Paul's commission is now even more like Isaiah's "light to the gentiles" (see comments on Acts 1.8), and the people of Israel are not mentioned (9.14). Comments or Questions..
