Acts 22:19-21

Contemporary English Version

¹⁹ I replied, “Lord, they know that in many of our synagogues I arrested and beat people who had faith in you. ^20 (A) Stephen was killed because he spoke for you, and I stood there and cheered them on. I even guarded the clothes of the men who murdered him.”

²¹ But the Lord told me to go, and he promised to send me far away to the Gentiles.
