Deeds (Act) of Apostles 22:15-26

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

¹⁶And now, what dwellest thou? (or And now, why waitest thou?) Rise up, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, by the name of him called to help, or Rise up, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, (and) in-call the name of him.

¹⁷And it was done to me, as I turned again into Jerusalem (or after I returned to Jerusalem), and prayed in the temple, that I was made in (a) ravishing of (the) 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. (and I saw him saying to me, Haste thou, and quickly go out of Jerusalem, for they shall not accept thy testimony about me.)

¹⁹And I said, Lord, they know, that I was (en)closing together in prison, and beating by synagogues them that believed into thee or and beating by synagogues them that believed in thee. (And I said, Lord, they know, that I was enclosing in prison, and beating in the synagogues, those who believed in thee.)

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

²¹And he said to me, Go thou, for I shall send thee far (away) to (the) nations.

²²And they heard him till to this word; and they raised their voice, and said, Take away from the earth such a manner man; for it is not leaveful that he live. (And they listened to him until this word; and then they raised up their voices, and said, Take away such a manner man from the earth; for it is not lawful that he live.)

²³And when they cried, and cast away their clothes, and threw dust in the air,

²⁴the tribune commanded him to be led into the castles, and to be beaten with scourges, and to be tormented, that he knew or that he should know, for what cause they cried so to him. (the commander ordered him to be brought into the fortress, and then to be beaten with scourges, and to be tormented, so that he could know, for what reason they shouted so about him.)

²⁵And when they had bound him with cords or And when they had restrained him with ropes, Paul said to a centurion standing nigh to him, Whether it is leaveful to you (or Is it lawful for you), to scourge a Roman, and (someone) uncondemned?

²⁶And when this thing was heard, the centurion went to the tribune (or the commander), and told to him, and said, What art thou to doing? for this man is a citizen of Rome.
