Acts 9:19

_ _ 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 Matthew 4:2).

_ _ Then was Saul certain days with the disciples at Damascus — making their acquaintance, in another way than either he or they had anticipated, and regaining his tone by the fellowship of the saints; but not certainly in order to learn from them what he was to teach, which he expressly disavows (Galatians 1:12, Galatians 1:16).
