Paul
preached "Immediately" after baptism
And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his
hands on him he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who
appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you
may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and
he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized. So
when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then Saul spent
some days with the disciples at Damascus.
Immediately he preached the Christ in the synagogues,
that He is the Son of God. - Acts 9:17-20
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb,
and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I
might preach him among the heathen;
immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles
before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto
Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see
Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. - Galatians 1:15-18
This was an evidence of the genuineness of his
conversion, that he was willing at once to avow himself to
be the friend of the Lord Jesus. - Barnes Notes
Paul begins immediately to execute the office which was given
and commanded to him, never consulting with flesh and blood.
- Geneva Bible footnotes
He was immediately, as soon as converted, qualified for the work
of preaching the Gospel: nor did he confer with flesh and blood,
or stand disputing and debating with himself and carnal reason,
what was best for him to do; but as soon as he knew Christ
himself, he preached him to others, and whom he always made
the subject of his ministry... - John Gill's
