44:022:014 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that
           thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and
           shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.

44:022:015 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast
           seen and heard.

44:022:016 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash
           away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

44:022:017 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem,
           even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;

44:022:018 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly
           out of Jerusalem:  for they will not receive thy testimony
           concerning me.

44:022:019 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in
           every synagogue them that believed on thee: 

44:022:020 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was
           standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the
           raiment of them that slew him.

44:022:021 And he said unto me, Depart:  for I will send thee far hence
           unto the Gentiles.

44:022:022 And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up
           their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the
           earth:  for it is not fit that he should live.

44:022:023 And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw
           dust into the air,

44:022:024 The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle,
           and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he
           might know wherefore they cried so against him.

44:022:025 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the
           centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man
           that is a Roman, and uncondemned?

44:022:026 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief
           captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest:  for this man is a
           Roman.

44:022:027 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art
           thou a Roman?  He said, Yea.

44:022:028 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I
           this freedom.  And Paul said, But I was free born.

44:022:029 Then straightway they departed from him which should have
           examined him:  and the chief captain also was afraid, after he
           knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.

44:022:030 On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty
           wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his
           bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council
           to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
