Acts 9:17 - Additional Comments

Despite Ananias' doubt and fear, he did what God asked him to do. God has basically said to him, "Trust Me!"
It appears he was freely allowed in the house. It appears Ananias knew Judas, and probably knew where he lived... or it was easy to find which house was Judas house.
Ananias first task with Paul was to lay his hands on him, so Paul may receive his sight and receive the Holy Spirit. Then he was to baptize him. Obviously the Lord and Ananias had some conversation not recorded here.
Notice that he received the Holy Spirit before he was baptized.
