Acts 22:17-22

17“It happened when I 1returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I 2fell into a trance, 18and I saw Him saying to me, ‘3Make 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 4I used to imprison and 5beat those who believed in You. 20And 6when 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 7to the Gentiles.’”

22They listened to him up to this statement, and then they raised their voices and said, “8Away with such a fellow from the earth, for 9he should not be allowed to live!”
