Commentary on Acts 9:11
The Lord gave Ananias specific instructions: go to Straight Street, to Judas' house, and ask for 'Saul of Tarsus.' The specificity shows God's omniscience - knowing exactly where Saul was. The phrase 'for, behold, he prayeth' marks a significant change - the persecutor now prays! Prayer evidences new spiritual life; Saul's prayers demonstrated his regeneration. Reformed theology emphasizes that effectual calling produces prayer - the regenerate heart naturally cries out to God (Romans 8:15). Saul's prayer life began at conversion and would characterize his entire ministry.
