‏ Acts 9:16

 I will shew ( υποδειξω ). Beforehand as a warning as in Lu 3:7 and from time to time.

 He must suffer ( δε αυτον παθειν ). Constative aorist active infinitive ( παθειν, from  πασχω ) covering the whole career of Saul. Suffering is one element in the call that Saul receives. He will learn "how many things" ( οσα ) are included in this list by degrees and by experience. A glance at 2Co 10-12 will show one the fulfilment of this prophecy. But it was the "gift" of Christ to Paul to go on suffering ( πασχειν, present infinitive, Php 1:39).
