Acts 22:19-21

New Century Version

¹⁹ But I said, ‘Lord, they know that in every synagogue I put the believers in jail and beat them. ²⁰ They also know I was there when Stephen, your witness, was killed. I stood there agreeing and holding the coats of those who were killing him!’ ²¹ But the Lord said to me, ‘Leave now. I will send you far away to the other nations.’ ”
