Contextual Overview
3"I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but raised in this city. I was educated at the feet of Gamaliel in strict conformity to the law of our fathers. I am just as zealous for God as any of you here today. 4I persecuted this Way even to the death, detaining both men and women and throwing them into prison, 5as the high priest and the whole Council can testify about me. I even obtained letters from them to their brothers in Damascus, and I was on my way to apprehend these people and bring them to Jerusalem to be punished. 6About noon as I was approaching Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. 7I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?' 8'Who are You, Lord?' I asked. 'I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,' He replied. 9My companions saw the light, but they could not understand the voice of the One speaking to me. 10Then I asked, 'What shall I do, Lord?' 'Get up and go into Damascus,' He told me. 'There you will be told all that you have been appointed to do.' 11Because the brilliance of the light had blinded me, my companions led me by the hand into Damascus. 12There a man named Ananias, a devout observer of the law who was highly regarded by all the Jews living there,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Came unto me,.... Being at the house of Judas, in that street of Damascus called Straight, Acts 9:11 and stood; at the side of him, or by him, putting his hands on him:
and said unto me, brother Saul; Acts 9:11- :.
receive thy sight, "or look up",
and the same hour I looked up upon him; that is, immediately, directly: for so the phrase, "that same hour", is frequently used by the Jews: the words in Numbers 16:21 "that I may consume them in a moment", are rendered by Onkelos, "that I may consume them in an hour"; for an hour is used for a moment with them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
