EXPLANATION

Verse 12. And he saw a man, and so forth This verse, which is by way of a parenthesis, contains the words of the historian, Saint Luke, telling us what Saint Paul saw in a vision, and what the Spirit at the same time revealed to Ananias. Witham.—This verse is a parenthensis. It contains not the words of Christ to Ananias, but Saint Luke here relates what was shewn to Paul, at the time Ananias entered. This vision was shewn to him, that he might know Ananias was sent by God. Menochius.
