<p>9:10<i>Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and the Lord said to him</i>- 'Named' could imply that he had received the name 'Ananias' as his Christian name, in line with the practice attested in the New Testament of Christians taking another name on conversion. The name would literally be translatable as 'God's grace / gift', equivalent of the Hebrew 'Hannah'. He was addressed by his name, &quot;Ananias&quot;, and he responds in the Greek&quot; &quot;Behold, I&quot;. As if to say 'Yes, that's me- the one who is by God's grace'. His understanding of grace was now going to be tested- he was to go to the man who had come to abuse him, who was currently living in a household that were presumably agreeable to Saul's evil plans- and share God's grace with that man.</p><p><i>In a vision: Ananias. And he said: I am here, Lord</i>- The active Lord Jesus likewise appeared to Saul in a vision at this time (:12). He is no less active today, working simultaneously in the lives of multiple people around the clock, worldwide.</p>
