SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:13
viniendo a mí, y acercndose, me dijo: Hermano Saulo, recibe la vista. Y yo en aquella hora le mir.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. Came unto me , etc.] Being at the house of Judas, in that street of Damascus called Straight, ( Acts 9:11) and stood; at the side of him, or by him, putting his hands on him: and said unto me, brother Saul ; (see Gill on Acts 9:17). receive thy sight , or look up, and the same hour I looked up upon him ; that is, immediately, directly: for so the phrase, that same hour, is frequently used by the Jews: the words in ( Numbers 16:21) that I may consume them in a moment, are rendered by Onkelos, that I may consume them in an hour; for an hour is used for a moment with them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-21 - The apostle goes on to relate how he was confirmed in the change he ha made. The Lord having chosen the sinner, that he should know his will he is humbled, enlightened, and brought to the knowledge of Christ an his blessed gospel. Christ is here called that Just One; for he is Jesus Christ the righteous. Those whom God has chosen to know his will must look to Jesus, for by him God has made known his good-will to us The great gospel privilege, sealed to us by baptism, is the pardon of sins. Be baptized, and wash away thy sins; that is, receive the comfor of the pardon of thy sins in and through Jesus Christ, and lay hold of his righteousness for that purpose; and receive power against sin, for the mortifying of thy corruptions. Be baptized, and rest not in the sign, but make sure of the thing signified, the putting away of the filth of sin. The great gospel duty, to which by our baptism we ar bound, is, to seek for the pardon of our sins in Christ's name, and i dependence on him and his righteousness. God appoints his labourer their day and their place, and it is fit they should follow his appointment, though it may cross their own will. Providence contrive better for us than we do for ourselves; we must refer ourselves to God's guidance. If Christ send any one, his Spirit shall go along with him, and give him to see the fruit of his labours. But nothing can reconcile man's heart to the gospel, except the special grace of God.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
13. Stood (epistav). More correctly, as Rev., "standing by (epi)." Receive thy sight (anableyon). Better, look up. See the following words: I looked up upon him. The word admits of both translations, to look up and to recover sight.I looked up upon him. Some unite both meanings here: I looked up with recovered sight. So Rev., in margin.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
22:13 {I looked up on him} (anableya eis auton). First aorist active indicative and same word as anableyon (Receive thy sight). Hence here the verb means as the margin of the Revised Version has it: "I received my sight and looked upon him." For "look up" see #Joh 9:11.
