Acts 22:12-20

¹²And one Ananias, a God-fearing man, who kept the law, and of whom all the Jews in that place had a high opinion,

¹³Came to my side and said, Brother Saul, let your eyes be open. And in that very hour I was able to see him.

¹⁴And he said, You have been marked out by the God of our fathers to have knowledge of his purpose, and to see the Upright One and to give ear to the words of his mouth.

¹⁵For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and of what has come to your ears.

¹⁶And now, why are you waiting? get up, and have baptism, for the washing away of your sins, giving worship to his name.

¹⁷And it came about that when I had come back to Jerusalem, while I was at prayer in the Temple, my senses became more than naturally clear,

¹⁸And I saw him saying to me, Go out of Jerusalem straight away because they will not give hearing to your witness about me.

¹⁹And I said, Lord, they themselves have knowledge that I went through the Synagogues putting in prison and whipping all those who had faith in you:

²⁰And when Stephen your witness was put to death, I was there, giving approval, and looking after the clothing of those who put him to death.
