Acts 26:19-23

19“At that point I did not disobey the vision I saw from heaven, King Agrippa.

20Instead, I spread the message that I first told to the ⌞Jewish⌟ people in Damascus and Jerusalem and throughout the whole country of Judea. I spread the same message to non-Jewish people. Both groups were expected to change the way they thought and acted and to turn to God. I told them to do things that prove they had changed their lives.

21For this reason the Jews took me prisoner in the temple courtyard and tried to murder me.

22“God has been helping me to this day so that I can stand and testify to important and unimportant people. I tell them only what the prophets and Moses said would happen.

23They said that the Messiah would suffer and be the first to come back to life and would spread light to Jewish and non-Jewish people.”
