Acts 22:17-22

“Later, when I returned to Jerusalem, I was praying in the Temple, and I saw a vision. I saw the Lord saying to me, ‘Hurry! Leave Jerusalem now! The people here will not accept the truth about me.’ But I said, ‘Lord, they know that in every synagogue I put the believers in jail and beat them. 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!’ But the Lord said to me, ‘Leave now. I will send you far away to the other nations.’ ” The crowd listened to Paul until he said this. Then they began shouting, “Get rid of him! He doesn’t deserve to live!”
