Acts 22:19-21

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁹ And I said, Lord, they themselves well know that throughout all the synagogues I cast into prison and flogged those who believed on (adhered to and trusted in and relied on) You.

²⁰ And when the blood of Your witness (martyr) Stephen was shed, I also was personally standing by and consenting and approving and guarding the garments of those who slew him.

²¹ And the Lord said to me, Go, for I will send you far away unto the Gentiles (nations).
