Acts 22:14-21

14And he said, ‘1The God of our fathers has 2appointed you to know His will and to 3see the 4Righteous One and to hear an 5utterance from His mouth. 15For you will be 6a witness for Him to all men of 7what you have seen and heard. 16Now why do you delay? 8Get up and be baptized, and 9wash away your sins, 10calling on His name.’

17“It happened when I 11returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I 12fell into a trance, 18and I saw Him saying to me, ‘13Make haste, and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about Me.’ 19And I said, ‘Lord, they themselves understand that in one synagogue after another 14I used to imprison and 15beat those who believed in You. 20And 16when the blood of Your witness Stephen was being shed, I also was standing by approving, and watching out for the coats of those who were slaying him.’ 21And He said to me, ‘Go! For I will send you far away 17to the Gentiles.’”
