Acts 22:12-20

¹²and a certain one, Ananias, a pious man according to the law, being testified to by all the Jews dwelling there,

¹³having come unto me and stood by me, said to me, Saul, brother, look up; and I the same hour did look up to him;

¹⁴and he said, The God of our fathers did choose thee beforehand to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice out of his mouth,

¹⁵because thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard;

¹⁶and now, why tarriest thou? having risen, baptize thyself, and wash away thy sins, calling upon the name of the Lord.

¹⁷'And it came to pass when I returned to Jerusalem, and while I was praying in the temple, I came into a trance,

¹⁸and I saw him saying to me, Haste and go forth in haste out of Jerusalem, because they will not receive thy testimony concerning me;

¹⁹and I said, Lord, they — they know that I was imprisoning and was scourging in every synagogue those believing on thee;

²⁰and when the blood of thy witness Stephen was being poured forth, I also was standing by and assenting to his death, and keeping the garments of those putting him to death;
