What does Acts 9:10 mean?
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Acts 9:10-16
Barnes' Notes
Said the Lord. The Lord Jesus is alone mentioned in all this transaction. And as he had commenced the work of converting Saul, it is evident that he is intended here. Acts 1:24.
In a vision. Perhaps by a dream. The main idea is, that he revealed his will to him in the case. The word vision is often used in speaking of the communications made to the prophets, and commonly means that future events were made to pass in review before the mind, as we look upon a landscape. See Isa 1:1, Gen 15:1; Nu 12:6, Eze 11:24, Dan 2:19, 7:2, 8:1,2,26, 10:7, Acts 10:3, 11:5, 16:9; Mt 17:9.
