Acts 9:19

“And when he had received meat, etc.] Which was set before him when he had received his sight, and after he was baptized, of which he had not tasted for three days: he was strengthened; in body, being before very weak and feeble; not so much through fatigue of his journey, as through the fear and surprise the appearance of Christ to him, and his words, threw him into; as also through his fasting so long, and his continuance and constancy in prayer all this while, and the attention he gave to the divine instructions which were communicated to him, internally and externally: then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus; who came from Jerusalem upon the persecution raised…”

“when he had received meat, he was strengthened--for the exhaustion occasioned by his three days' fast would not be the less real, though unfelt during his struggles. (See on Mat 4:2).

It was long enough, however, to preach the gospel, Acts 9:22; Acts 26:20. It might have been for some months, as he did not go to Jerusalem under three years from that time. He remained some time at Damascus, and then went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus, and then went to Jerusalem, Galatians 1:17. This visit to Arabia Luke has omitted, but there is no contradiction. He does not affirm that he did…”

“when: Act 27:33-36; Sa1 30:12; Ecc 9:7 Then: Act 26:20; Sa1 10:10-12; Gal 1:17 Acts 9:20”
