A Witness to All

19Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,

20but first to those in Damascus, then also in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, I proclaimed that they should reorient and turn to God, doing works worthy of reorientation.

21Because of these things the Jews seized me in the temple and were trying to kill me.

22Therefore, having received the help that is from God, I stand to this day, testifying to both small and great, saying nothing except what both the prophets and Moses said was going to happen,

23that the Messiah would suffer, and that, as the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles.
