Acts 22:18

14He said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.

15For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.

16Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’

17“When I had returned to Jerusalem and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance

18and saw him saying to me, ‘Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not receive testimony concerning me from you.’

19I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue those who believed in you.

20When the blood of Stephen, your witness, was shed, I also was standing by, consenting to his death, and guarding the cloaks of those who killed him.’

21“He said to me, ‘Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.’ ”

22They listened to him until he said that; then they lifted up their voice and said, “Rid the earth of this fellow, for he isn’t fit to live!”
