Acts 26:16-20

Goodspeed(i) 16 But get up and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for the express purpose of appointing you to serve me and to testify to what you have seen and to the visions you will have of me. 17 I will save you from your people and from the heathen, to whom I will send you 18 to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light and from Satan's control to God, so that they may have their sins forgiven and have a place among those who are consecrated through faith in me.' 19 Therefore, King Agrippa, I did not disobey that heavenly vision, 20 but first to the people of Damascus and Jerusalem and then all over Judea, and even to the heathen I preached that they must repent and turn to God and live as men who have repented should.
