New Testament

Acts 22:16-20 New King James Version (NKJV)

16. And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’

17. “Now it happened, when I returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance

18. and saw Him saying to me, ‘Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, for they will not receive your testimony concerning Me.’

19. So I said, ‘Lord, they know that in every synagogue I imprisoned and beat those who believe on You.

20. And when the blood of Your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by consenting to his death, and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him.’
