CONVERSION OF SAUL, AND BEGINNINGS OF HIS MINISTRY. (Acts 9:1-25) Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, &c.--The emphatic "yet" is intended to note the remarkable fact, that up to this moment his blind persecuting rage against the disciples of the Lord burned as fiercely as ever. (In the teeth of this, NEANDER and OLSHAUSEN picture him deeply impressed with Stephen's joyful faith, remembering passages of the Old Testament confirmatory of the Messiahship of Jesus, and experiencing such a violent struggle as would inwardly prepare the way for the designs of God towards him. Is not dislike, if not unconscious disbelief, of sudden conversion at the bottom of this?) The word "slaughter" here points to cruelties not yet recorded, but the particulars of which are supplied by himself nearly thirty years afterwards: "And I persecuted this way unto the death" (Act 22:4); "and when they were put to death, I gave my voice [vote] against them. And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to [did my utmost to make them] blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange [foreign] cities" (Act 26:10-11). All this was before his present journey.

وَهذِهِ، وَهِيَ ابْنَةُ إِبْراهِيمَ، قَدْ رَبَطَهَا الشَّيْطَانُ ثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، أَمَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تُحَلَّ مِنْ هذَا الرِّبَاطِ فِي يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ؟»
وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ أَعْرَجُ مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ يُحْمَلُ، كَانُوا يَضَعُونَهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ «الْجَمِيلُ» لِيَسْأَلَ صَدَقَةً مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْهَيْكَلَ.
وَأَمَّا كَيْفَ يُبْصِرُ الآنَ فَلاَ نَعْلَمُ. أَوْ مَنْ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ فَلاَ نَعْلَمُ. هُوَ كَامِلُ السِّنِّ. اسْأَلُوهُ فَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ».

لأَنَّ الإِنْسَانَ الَّذِي صَارَتْ فِيهِ آيَةُ الشِّفَاءِ هذِهِ، كَانَ لَهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.
وَفِيمَا هُوَ مُجْتَازٌ رَأَى إِنْسَانًا أَعْمَى مُنْذُ وِلاَدَتِهِ،
وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ إِنْسَانٌ بِهِ مَرَضٌ مُنْذُ ثَمَانٍ وَثَلاَثِينَ سَنَةً.
فَسَأَلَ أَبَاهُ:«كَمْ مِنَ الزَّمَانِ مُنْذُ أَصَابَهُ هذَا؟» فَقَالَ: «مُنْذُ صِبَاهُ.
وَامْرَأَةٌ بِنَزْفِ دَمٍ مُنْذُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً،
