“And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,”
Saul (who is also Paul) persecuting Christ most cruelly, who did as it were flee before him, falleth into his hands, and is overcome: and with a singular example of the goodness of God, instead of punishment which he justly deserved for his cruelty, is not only received to favor, but is also even by the mouth of God appointed an Apostle, and is confirmed by the ministry and witness of Ananias. Cross references: : Rom. 9:3 ; Gal. 1:13 This is a token that Saul’s stomach boiled and cast out great threatenings to murder the disciples.
