 {A vision} (horama). Old word, eleven times in Acts, once
in  Mt 17:9 . Twice Paul had been hindered by the Holy Spirit
from going where he wanted to go. Most men would have gone back
home with such rebuffs, but not so Paul. Now the call is positive
and not negative, to go "far hence to the Gentiles" ( 22:21 ). He
had little dreamed of such a call when he left Antioch. Paul's
frequent visions always came at real crises in his life. {A man
of Macedonia} (an(8872) Maked(936e)). Ramsay follows Renan in the view
that this was Luke with whom Paul had conversed about conditions
in Macedonia. Verse  10  makes it plain that Luke was now in the
party, but when he joined them we do not know. Some hold that
Luke lived at Antioch in Syria and came on with Paul and Silas,
others that he joined them later in Galatia, others that he
appeared now either as Paul's physician or new convert. Ramsay
thinks that Philippi was his home at this time. But, whatever is
true about Luke, the narrative must not be robbed of its
supernatural aspect ( 10:10  22:17 ). {Was standing} ((886e)
hest(9373)). Second perfect active participle of hist(886d)i,
intransitive, periphrastic imperfect. Vivid picture. {Help us}
(o(8874)h(8873)on h(886d)in). Ingressive first aorist active imperative of
o(8874)he(935c) (o(882c) the(935c)), to run at a cry, to help. The man uses
the plural for all including himself. It was the cry of Europe
for Christ.
