Acts 26:16-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ But arise and stand upon your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, that I might appoint you to serve as [My] minister and to bear witness both to what you have seen of Me and to that in which I will appear to you,

^17 [a]Choosing you out [selecting you for Myself] and ^[b]delivering you from among this [Jewish] people and the Gentiles to whom I am sending you—^(A)

¹⁸ To open their eyes that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may thus receive forgiveness and release from their sins and a place and portion among those who are consecrated and purified by faith in Me.^(B)
