Acts 22:19

17 “Now ^ait happened, when I returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance

18 and ^asaw Him saying to me, ^b‘Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, for they will not receive your testimony concerning Me.’

19 So I said, ‘Lord, ^athey know that in every synagogue I imprisoned and ^bbeat those who believe on You.

20 ^aAnd when the blood of Your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by ^bconsenting to his death, and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him.’

21 Then He said to me, ‘Depart, ^afor I will send you far from here to the Gentiles.’ ”
