Deeds (Act) of Apostles 22:12-20

¹²And a man, Ananias, that by the law had witnessing of all Jews dwelling in Damascus,

¹³came to me, and stood nigh, and said to me, Saul, brother, behold. And I in the same hour beheld into him.

¹⁴And he said, God of our fathers hath before-ordained thee, that thou shouldest know the will of him, and shouldest see the rightful man, that is, just Christ, and hear the voice of his mouth.

¹⁵For thou shalt be his witness to all men, of those things that thou hast seen and heard.

¹⁶And now, what dwellest thou? Rise up, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, by the name of him called to help.

¹⁷And it was done to me, as I turned again into Jerusalem, and prayed in the temple, that I was made in ravishing of soul,

¹⁸and I saw him saying to me, Hie thou, and go out fast of Jerusalem, for they shall not receive thy witnessing of me.

¹⁹And I said, Lord, they know, that I was enclosing together in prison, and beating by synagogues them that believed into thee or in thee.

²⁰And when the blood of Stephen, thy witness, was shed out, I stood nigh, and consented, and kept the clothes of men that slew him.
