Greek Commentary for Acts 9:6

(Robertson, Grammar, p. 731). Human agents like Ananias can finish what Jesus by supernatural manifestation has here begun in Saul. [source]

Old verb, lies upon me (dative case μοι moi). Jesus had called him (Acts 9:6, Acts 9:15; Galatians 1:15.; Romans 1:14). He could do no other and deserves no credit for doing it. Woe is me (ουαι γαρ μοι ouai gar moi). Explaining the αναγκη anagkē (necessity). Paul had to heed the call of Christ that he had heard. He had a real call to the ministry. Would that this were the case with every modern preacher. [source]
