Acts 22:22 CPDV

²⁰  And when the blood of your witness Stephen was poured out, I stood nearby and was consenting, and I watched over the garments of those who put him to death.'

²¹  And he said to me, 'Go forth. For I am sending you to far away nations.'

²²  Now they were listening to him, until this word, and then they lifted up their voice, saying: 'Take this kind away from the earth! For it is not fitting for him to live!'

²³  And while they were shouting, and tossing aside their garments, and casting dust into the air,

²⁴  the tribune ordered him to be brought into the fortress, and to be scourged and tortured, in order to discover the reason that they were crying out in this way against him.
