Paul continues to speak.

## Then he said ##

"Then Ananias said"

## his will ##

"what God is planning and will cause to happen"

## why are you waiting? ##

Alternate translation: "Do not wait!" or "Do not delay!" (UDB). This is a rhetorical question used to exhort Paul to be baptized.  (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

## wash away your sins ##

As washing one's body removes dirt, calling on the name of Jesus for forgiveness cleanses one's inner being from sin. "ask forgiveness for your sins." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
