Yes, God's word to Ananias about Saul's suffering was fulfilled to the last jot and tittle. God told Ananias He would show Saul how great things he must suffer for His name's sake. Later, Paul rehearsed the horrible things that happened to him while getting the Gospel out to the Gentiles.

Les teaches that the word to Ananias in verse 16 was fulfilled to the last jot and tittle. God said He would show Saul how great things he must suffer for His name's sake. Les points to 2 Corinthians 10, where Paul rehearses the horrible things that happened to him in getting the Gospel out to the Gentiles. Les also explains that after Saul got food and his sight was restored, he immediately preached Christ in the synagogues, still confining his preaching to the Jew, because nobody had told him anything different yet.

Acts 9:16

For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
