Acts 22:14-21

14And he said, The 1God of our fathers has chosen thee beforehand to know his will, and to see the just one, and to hear a voice out of his mouth;

15for thou shalt be a witness for him to all men of what thou hast seen and heard.

16And now why lingerest thou? Arise and get baptised, and have thy sins washed away, calling on his name.

17And it came to pass when I had returned to Jerusalem, and as I was praying in the temple, that I became in ecstasy,

18and saw him saying to me, Make haste and go quickly out of Jerusalem, for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.

19And I said, Lord, they themselves know that I was imprisoning and beating in every synagogue those that believe on thee;

20and when the blood of thy witness Stephen was shed, I also myself was standing by and consenting, and kept the clothes of them who killed him.

21And he said to me, Go, for I will send thee to the nations afar off.
