acts 13:9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, - Free Bible Online

acts 13:9 But Saul, who was also [known as] Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fixed his gaze upon him,


      9. Then Saul . . . also . . . called Paul--and henceforward Paul only; a softening of his former name, in accommodation to Roman ears, and (as the word signifies "little") probably with allusion as elsewhere to his insignificance of stature and appearance (2Co 10:1, 10) [WEBSTER and WILKINSON].
      filled with the Holy Ghost--the Spirit coming mightily upon him.
      set his eyes on him and said--Henceforward Barnabas sinks into the background. The whole soul of his great colleague, now drawn out, as never before, shoots, by the lightning gaze of his eye, through the dark and tortuous spirit of the sorcerer. What a picture!
