Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁸ I heard the Lord say to me, "Leave Jerusalem quickly, right away. The people will not listen to the things you say about me."

¹⁹ And I said, "Lord, they know that I put in prison those who believed in you. I beat them in all the meeting houses.

²⁰ And I stood by and let people kill Stephen. He was one who talked for you. I looked after the clothes of the men who killed him."
