14 | And he said, `The God of our fathers appointed you to know his will, to see the Just One and to hear a voice from 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 wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.' |
17 | "When I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, I fell into a trance |
18 | and saw him saying to me, `Make haste and get quickly out of Jerusalem, because they will not accept your testimony about me.' |
19 | And I said, `Lord, they themselves know that in every synagogue I imprisoned and beat those who believed in thee. |
20 | And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I also was standing by and approving, and keeping the garments of those who killed him.' |
21 | And he said to me, `Depart; for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.'" |
