SCRIPTURE

"And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do." — Acts 22:10 (ASV)

Into Damascus (εις Δαμασκον). In 9:6 simply "into the city" (εις την πολιν).

Of all things which (περ παντων ων). Hων, relative plural attracted to genitive of antecedent from accusative α, object of ποιησα (do).

Are appointed for thee (τετακτα σο). Perfect passive indicative of τασσω, to appoint, to order, with dative σο. Compare with οτ σε δε of 9:6. The words were spoken to Paul, of course, in the Aramaic, Saoul, Saoul.
