SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:16

porque yo le mostrar cunto le conviene que padezca por mi Nombre.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 9:16

Verse 16. How great things he must
suffer] Instead of proceeding as a persecutor, and inflicting sufferings on others, I will show him how many things he himself must suffer for preaching that very doctrine which he has been hitherto employed in persecuting. Strange change indeed! And with great show of reason, as with incontrovertible strength of argument, has a noble writer, Lord Lyttleton, adduced the conversion of Saul of Tarsus, and his subsequent conduct, as an irrefragable proof of the truth of Christianity.

Some think that the words, I will show him, &c., refer to a visionary representation, which Christ was immediately to give Saul, of the trials and difficulties which he should have to encounter; as also of that death by which he should seal his testimony to the truth. If so, what a most thorough conviction must Saul have had of the truth of Christianity, cheerfully and deliberately to give up all worldly honours and profits, and go forward in a work which he knew a violent death was to terminate!


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 16. For I will show him , etc.] In vision, and by prophecy, either now, or hereafter; or by facts, as they come upon him: how great things he must suffer for my names sake ; such as weariness, pain, and watchings, hunger, thirst, fastings, cold, and nakedness, perils on various accounts, and from different quarters, stripes, scourges, imprisonment, shipwreck, stoning, and death, of which he himself gives a detail, ( 2 Corinthians 11:23-28) so that Ananias had no reason to be afraid to go to him, and converse with him, and do unto him as he was directed.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 10-22 - A good work was begun in
Saul, when he was brought to Christ's fee with those words, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And never di Christ leave any who were brought to that. Behold, the proud Pharisee the unmerciful oppressor, the daring blasphemer, prayeth! And thus it is even now, and with the proud infidel, or the abandoned sinner. What happy tidings are these to all who understand the nature and power of prayer, of such prayer as the humbled sinner presents for the blessing of free salvation! Now he began to pray after another manner than he had done; before, he said his prayers, now, he prayed them Regenerating grace sets people on praying; you may as well find living man without breath, as a living Christian without prayer. Ye even eminent disciples, like Ananias, sometimes stagger at the command of the Lord. But it is the Lord's glory to surpass our scant expectations, and show that those are vessels of his mercy whom we ar apt to consider as objects of his vengeance. The teaching of the Holy Spirit takes away the scales of ignorance and pride from the understanding; then the sinner becomes a new creature, and endeavour to recommend the anointed Saviour, the Son of God, to his forme companions.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

16. How great things (osa). Rev., more correctly, how many.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

9:16 {I will shew} (hupodeixw). Beforehand as a warning as in #Lu 3:7 and from time to time. {He must
suffer} (dei auton paqein). Constative aorist active infinitive (paqein, from pascw) covering the whole career of Saul. Suffering is one element in the call that Saul receives. He will learn "how many things" (hosa) are included in this list by degrees and by experience. A glance at #2Co 10-12 will show one the fulfilment of this prophecy. But it was the "gift" of Christ to Paul to go on suffering (pascein, present infinitive, #Php 1:39).
