  1. Acts 7:58

    They dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile the witnesses laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

    Commentary on Acts 7:582 voices
    Often one who is seen to come after us surpasses us through the swiftness of good work, and tomorrow we scarcely follow him whom today we seemed to precede. Certainly when Stephen was dying for the faith, Saul was guarding the garments of those who were stoning him. Therefore he himself stoned with the hands of all who were stoning, since he rendered them all free to stone, and yet in the holy Church he surpassed in labors that very one whom by persecuting he made a martyr.

    Gregory the Dialogist· Forty Gospel Homilies, Homily 19, 604Patristic

    And cast him out of the city,.... Of Jerusalem; for the place of stoning was without the city.

  2. Acts 8:1

    And Saul was there, giving approval to Stephen’s death. On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.

    Commentary on Acts 8:12 voices
    Now on that day, a great persecution arose in the Church that was in Jerusalem, and all were scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. If the Church was scattered, the apostles remained in Jerusalem, as Luke tells us, it is …

  3. Acts 8:3

    But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.

    Commentary on Acts 8:32 voices
    "And Saul was ravaging the church." Great was his madness, both to be alone and to break into houses. This was because he had devoted his soul to the law.

    Theophylact of Ohrid· Commentary on Acts, 1107Patristic

  4. Acts 9:1

    Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord. He approached the high priest

    Commentary on Acts 9:12 voices
    Then it was, too, that Paul, when he believed, was baptized; and this is the meaning of the precept which the Lord had given him when smitten with the plague of loss of sight, saying, "Arise, and enter Damascus; there shall be demonstrated to thee what thou oughtest to do," to wit-be baptized, which was the only thing lacking to him. That point excepted, he bad sufficiently learnt and believed "the Nazarene" to be "the Lord, the Son of God."

    Tertullian· On Baptism, 220Patristic

    And Saul yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter,.... The historian having given an account of the dispersion of all the preachers of the Gospel at Jerusalem, excepting the apostles, and of their success in other parts, especially of Philip's, returns to the history of Saul; who, not satisfied with the murder of Stephen, and with the havoc he made of the church at Jerusalem, haling them out of their houses to prison, continued not only to threaten them with confiscation of goods and imprisonment, but with death itself.

  5. Acts 9:2

    and requested letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women belonging to the Way, he could bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.

    Commentary on Acts 9:22 voices
    He warned us, to be sure, at that time (for elsewhere our Discipline is called "the Way" ), that when, set in "the way" of prayer, we go not unto "the Father" with anger.

  6. Acts 9:3–22

    As Saul drew near to Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.

    Commentary on Acts 9:3–222 voices
    Indeed, when I hear that this man was chosen by the Lord after He had attained His rest in heaven, I feel that a kind of improvidence is imputable to Christ, for not knowing before that this man was necessary to Him; and because He thought that he must be added to the apostolic body in the way of a fortuitous encounter rather than a deliberate selection; by necessity (so to speak), and not voluntary choice, although the members of the apostolate had been duly ordained, and were now dismissed to their several missions.

    Tertullian· Against Marcion Book V, 220Patristic

    And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus,....

  7. Acts 9:11

    “Get up!” the Lord told him. “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.

    Commentary on Acts 9:112 voices
    The Scripture which he was reading falls in opportunely with his faith: Philip, being requested, is taken to sit beside him; the Lord is pointed out; faith lingers not; water needs no waiting for; the work is completed, and the apostle snatched away. "But Paul too was, in fact, `speedily' baptized: "for Simon, his host, speedily recognized him to be "an appointed vessel of election.

    Tertullian· On Baptism, 220Patristic

    Into the street which is called Straight - This street extends now from the eastern to the western gate, about three miles, crossing the whole city and suburbs in a direct line. Near the eastern gate is a house, said to be that of Judah, in which Paul lodged. There is in it a very small closet, where tradition reports that the apostle passed three days without food, until Ananias restored him to sight. Tradition also says that he had here the vision recorded in 2Co 12:

  8. Acts 9:16

    I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.”

    Commentary on Acts 9:162 voices
    When Paul was saved there where he had bound Christ by persecuting him, he would be afflicted with suffering for Christ, right up to his own death, but [he would] be glorified in the resurrection. So it is, because "mercy and truth go always before …

    Paulus Orosius· DEFENSE AGAINST THE PELAGIANS 14, 420Patristic

    For I will show him,.... In vision, and by prophecy, either now, or hereafter; or by facts, as they come upon him: how great things he must suffer for my name's sake; such as weariness, pain, and watchings, hunger, thirst, fastings, cold, and nakedness, perils on various accounts, and from different quarters, stripes, scourges, imprisonment, shipwreck, stoning, and death, of which he himself gives a detail, 2Co 11:23 so that Ananias had no reason to be afraid to go to him, and converse with him, and do unto him as he was directed.

    At that instant, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. He got up and was baptized,

    Commentary on Acts 9:182 voices
    And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes. It is said that the entire body of the dragon is covered with scales. Because the Jews are called serpents and brood of vipers, those who followed their perfidy had covered the eyes of their heart …

    Saul promptly began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, declaring, “He is the Son of God.”

    Commentary on Acts 9:202 voices
    Paul himself also-after that the Lord spoke to him out of heaven, and showed him that, in persecuting His disciples, he persecuted his own Lord, and sent Ananias to him that he might recover his sight, and be baptized-"preached," it is said, "Jesus in the synagogues at Damascus, with all freedom of speech, that this is the Son of God, the Christ."

  11. Acts 9:22

    But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.

    Commentary on Acts 9:222 voices
    "Saul increased all the more in strength and confounded the Jews." The Jews were confounded because the things he had been taught from the Law of Moses, he questioned them about as well. They thought that by getting rid of Stephen, they had rid themselves …

    Theophylact of Ohrid· Commentary on Acts, 1107Patristic

    But Saul increased the more in strength,.... Not of body, but of mind; his gifts and graces, and spiritual light and knowledge increased; his abilities were greater; his fortitude of mind, boldness, and freedom of speech, every day increased: he got more, and new, and fresh arguments, by which he himself was confirmed, and he confirmed others in the truths of Christ.

    Bede· Retractions on Acts, 735Patristic

    But their laying await was known of Saul,.... Either by divine revelation, or by some friends, who had got knowledge of it, and gave him information, as in Act 23:16 and they watched the gates night and day to kill him; that is, the Jews, together with the governor of the city, and the garrison of soldiers in it. These all watched at the several gates of the city, night and day, that Saul might not make his escape, and that they might take him, and put him to death.

    One night, however, his disciples took him and lowered him in a basket through a window in the wall.

    Commentary on Acts 9:252 voices
    Since he had risen above the wicked, he deserves to escape their ambush while the gates are closed. A basket, which is customarily woven with bulrushes and palms in turn, gives covering to Saul, in glory retaining an allegory of the church, for there is …

    Arator· ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 1, 544Patristic

    Then the disciples took him by night,.... The Alexandrian copy reads, "his disciples"; the disciples of Saul, such as he had been instrumental in making at Damascus: but it is not usual for the saints to be called in Scripture the disciples of any man; therefore the common reading is best, and designs the disciples and followers of Christ; who being concerned for the preservation of so valuable a life, took Saul in the night season, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
