15because thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard;
16and now, why tarriest thou? having risen, baptize thyself, and wash away thy sins, calling upon the name of the Lord.
17`And it came to pass when I returned to Jerusalem, and while I was praying in the temple, I came into a trance,
18and I saw him saying to me, Haste and go forth in haste out of Jerusalem, because they will not receive thy testimony concerning me;
19and I said, Lord, they -- they know that I was imprisoning and was scourging in every synagogue those believing on thee;
20and when the blood of thy witness Stephen was being poured forth, I also was standing by and assenting to his death, and keeping the garments of those putting him to death;
21and he said unto me, Go, because to nations far off I will send thee.`
