Acts 9:14

"But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem."

Key Reflection

In Acts 9:14, Ananias responds to God's call by recounting his knowledge of Saul (Paul), emphasizing how this man, now seeking conversion, was a fierce persecutor of Christians in Jerusalem. The original audience would have understood that this was a significant revelation, as it underscored the transformative power of divine grace in turning even the most hardened opponents into ardent followers of Christ.
