18 E eu vi aquele que me dizia: Apressa-te, e sai logo de Jerusalém, porque não aceitarão teu testemunho sobre mim.

19 E eu disse: Senhor, eles sabem que eu prendia e açoitava nas sinagogas aqueles que criam em ti.

20 E quando o sangue de Estêvão, tua testemunha, se derramava, eu também estava presente, e consentia em sua morte, e guardava as roupas daqueles que o matavam.

21 E ele me disse: Vai, porque eu te enviarei para longe, aos gentios.
