ἐγὼ γὰρ : he is a chosen vessel unto me, and therefore ὑποδ. Wendt disagrees with Meyer, who finds the showing in the experiences of the sufferings (so Hackett and Felten), and refers the word with De Wette, Over-beck, to a revelation or to some directing counsel of Christ, cf. Acts 13:2; Acts 16:6; Acts 16:9; Acts 20:20, so too Blass cf. 2 Corinthians 11:25-28. Either interpretation seems better than that of Weiss, who refers the γάρ back to πορεύου, as if Christ were assuring Ananias that Saul would not inflict suffering upon others, but I will show him how much he (αὐτόν, with emphasis) must suffer, etc., cf. also Bengel's comment.
