Acts 22:14 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

The God of our fathers... — The report of what was said by Ananias is somewhat fuller than in Acts 9:17, and gives in outline what had been spoken to him by the Lord. It is obviously implied in Acts 9:15-16, that those words were to be reproduced to Saul. We note the recurrence of the same formula in speaking of God that had been used by Stephen (Acts 7:32).

Hath chosen thee. — The Greek verb is not that commonly rendered by “chosen,” and is better translated fore-appointed.

And see that Just One. — See Note on Acts 7:52, in reference to the use of this name to designate the Lord Jesus.

Acts 22:14

14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
