[14] "And he said, 'The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will and to see the Righteous One and to hear a voice from His mouth. 

[15] 'For you will be a witness for Him to all men of what you have seen and heard. 

[16] 'Now why do you delay? Rise up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.' [Act 22:14-16 LSB]

[21] "And He said to me, 'Go! For I will send you far away to the Gentiles.'"

[14] "But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, I do serve the God of our fathers, believing everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets; [15] having a hope in God, for which these men are waiting, that there shall certainly be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. 

[Act 24:14-15 LSB]

[21] other than for this one statement which I shouted out while standing among them, 'For the resurrection of the dead I am on trial before you today.'" [Act 24:21 LSB]
