Acts 22:14-21
-
14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
-
15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
-
16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
-
17 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
-
18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
-
19 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
-
20 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.
-
21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
