BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear the voice out of His mouth. ¹⁵ For you will be a witness for Him to all men of what you have seen and heard. ¹⁶ And now why do you delay? Having arisen, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.’ ¹⁷ And it happened to me, having returned to Jerusalem and of my praying in the temple, I fell into a trance ¹⁸ and saw Him saying to me, ‘Make haste and go away with speed out of Jerusalem, because they will not receive your testimony about Me.’ ¹⁹ And I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that in each of those synagogues I was imprisoning and beating those believing on You. ²⁰ And when the blood of Your witness of Stephen was poured out, I myself also was standing by and consenting and watching over the garments of those killing him.’ ²¹ And He said to me, ‘Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”
