"and he hath seen. man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight" God has given some comfort to Saul--showing him that an end to his blindness is in sight. Evidently, the apostles at some point in the past had laid their hands on Ananias (Acts 8:18). This would seem to suggest that the Apostles imparted spiritual gifts to those Christians who left Jerusalem and headed back home following Pentecost, because without the guidance of the Apostles, such gifts would be needed in the congregations established when such converts returned home.
