Commentary on Acts 9:13
Ananias voiced understandable fear: 'I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints.' Ananias knew Saul's reputation as a violent persecutor. His reference to Christians as 'saints' (Greek hagioi, holy ones) emphasizes believers' set-apart status to God. Even Christ's servants can question God's instructions when they seem dangerous or counterintuitive. Yet Ananias would obey despite fear. Reformed theology affirms that God's commands sometimes seem to contradict wisdom or safety, requiring faith to obey.
