## Acts 22:15-16 in Context (Verses 12–19 KJV)
 
 [12 ](/kjv/acts/22/12) And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt *there*,
 
 [13 ](/kjv/acts/22/13) Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/acts/22/14) 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.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/acts/22/15) For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/acts/22/16) And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/acts/22/17) 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;
 
 [18 ](/kjv/acts/22/18) And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/acts/22/19) And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
