Exegesis
Finally, the prepositional phrase eis auton {εἰς αὐτόν | eis autón} ‘toward him’ expresses the direction of Paul’s restored gaze, so the translations “looked at him” and “looked straight at him” both reflect the orientation implied by eis.
In context — Acts 22:13
Having come to me and standing by me, he said to me, “Saul, brother , receive your sight .” And I, at that very hour, received my sight and looked at him.
