Acts 9

1.   Why did Shaul go to the Cohen Gadol, what permission did he need, why would letters help him with his campaign, why were they intended for “synagogues”?

2.   What is significant about the “light” that flashed, and how does Shaul later explain this experience?

3.   Are there previous examples in Scripture of occasions where God speaks directly and audibly without mediation to someone? Give examples…

4.   Was Shaul’s blindness a form of “punishment” for his persecution or unbelief?  If not, what was the purpose of it?

5.   Who was Ananias, what do we know about him?

6.   Who was Judas, how did Shaul end up at his house; why was Ananias reluctant to go there, and how did Yeshua resolve his fear?

7.   What did Shaul begin immediately doing next, how could he be qualified to do it and what was the original reaction by the Jewish Community?

8.   How did Shaul escape from the plot on his life and how does he later describe this event?

9.   Before the plot how long exactly did Shaul remain in Damascus, where did he go next after his escape and why wouldn’t the disciples believe who he was?

10.                  Why did the disciples send Shaul out to Tarsus through Caesarea, what do we know about these cities that explains why this makes sense?

11.                  What do we know about Lydda, most likely why did Shimon Kefa go there and who was Aeneas, what do we know about him?

12.                  Who was Tabitha, what do we know about her, how was her healing comparable to the healing by previous men of God in the Scriptures; and who was Shimon the tanner, what do we know of him?
