Acts 22:14-21

YLT(i) 14 and he said, The God of our fathers did choose thee beforehand to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice out of his mouth, 15 because thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard; 16 and now, why tarriest thou? having risen, baptize thyself, and wash away thy sins, calling upon the name of the Lord. 17 `And it came to pass when I returned to Jerusalem, and while I was praying in the temple, I came into a trance, 18 and I saw him saying to me, Haste and go forth in haste out of Jerusalem, because they will not receive thy testimony concerning me; 19 and I said, Lord, they—they know that I was imprisoning and was scourging in every synagogue those believing on thee; 20 and when the blood of thy witness Stephen was being poured forth, I also was standing by and assenting to his death, and keeping the garments of those putting him to death; 21 and he said unto me, Go, because to nations far off I will send thee.'
