A.T. Robertson Commentary
"and he hath seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight." — Acts 9:12 (ASV)
Coming in and laying (εισελθοντα κα επιθεντα). Second aorist (ingressive) active participles picturing the punctiliar act as a sort of indirect discourse after verbs of sensation (Robertson, Grammar, pp. 1040-2). Some ancient documents do not have "in a vision" here.
Receive his sight (αναβλεψε). First aorist active subjunctive with οπως (purpose). See again as in 9:17.
