Acts 9:13-14

9:13 But Ananias replied, 1  “Lord, I have heard from many people 2  about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem, 9:14 and here he has authority from the chief priests to imprison 3  all who call on your name!” 4 

1 sn Ananias replied. Past events might have suggested to Ananias that this was not good counsel, but like Peter in Acts 10, Ananias’ intuitions were wrong.

2 tn The word “people” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

3 tn Grk “to bind.”

4 sn The expression “those who call on your name” is a frequent description of believers (Acts 2:21; 1 Cor 1:2; Rom 10:13).
