2Y demandó de él letras para Damasco á las sinagogas, para que si hallase algunos hombres ó mujeres de esta secta, los trajese presos á Jerusalem.
13Entonces Ananías respondió: Señor, he oído á muchos acerca de este hombre, cuántos males ha hecho á tus santos en Jerusalem:
14Y aun aquí tiene facultad de los príncipes de los sacerdotes de prender á todos los que invocan tu nombre.
21Y todos los que le oían estaban atónitos, y decían: ¿No es éste el que asolaba en Jerusalem á los que invocaban este nombre, y á eso vino acá, para llevarlos presos á los príncipes de los sacerdotes?

 His zeal for the Jews' religion and the traditions of the fathers effectually blinded him to the preaching of the apostles. It is evident, then, that in his unconverted days he was unreached by the preaching of others. (Galatians 1 by H. Smith)
 In proof of these statements the apostle, in the verses that follow, goes over his history, which indeed they had already heard. In doing so, he recounts only those incidents which show how God dealt with him, and communicated the gospel to him, entirely apart from the intervention of man. (Galatians 1 by H. Smith)
