Acts 9:11-14 - The Lord told him, "Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight."
"Lord," Ananias answered, "I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem. And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name."
I wonder how Ananias knew what Saul had done in preparation for his journey to Damascus. Was there a Christian grapevine running between Jerusalem and Damascus? Someone either in the chief priests' company or in Saul's own camp must have leaked the information to Jesus' disciples, and they must have quickly passed it on to those Christians in Damascus.
I wonder if Nicodemus or Joseph of Arimathea had anything to do with this.
