17. Then when I had come back to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple [enclosure], I fell into a trance (an ecstasy);
18. And I saw Him as He said to me, Hurry, get quickly out of Jerusalem, because they will not receive your testimony about Me.
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).
