¹⁵ "Who are you?" I asked. Then the Lord answered, "I am Jesus! I am the one you are so cruel to. ¹⁶ Now stand up. I have appeared to you, because I have chosen you to be my servant. You are to tell others what you have learned about me and what I will show you later." ¹⁷ The Lord also said, "I will protect you from the Jews and from the Gentiles that I am sending you to. ¹⁸ I want you to open their eyes, so that they will turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. Then their sins will be forgiven, and by faith in me they will become part of God's holy people." ¹⁹ King Agrippa, I obeyed this vision from heaven. ²⁰ First I preached to the people in Damascus, and then I went to Jerusalem and all over Judea. Finally, I went to the Gentiles and said, "Stop sinning and turn to God! Then prove what you have done by the way you live." ²¹ That is why some men grabbed me in the temple and tried to kill me.
