14And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, þt thou shouldest know his will, & see that Iust one, and shouldest heare the voice of his mouth. 15For thou shalt be his witnes vnto al men, of what thou hast seene & heard. 16And now, why tariest thou? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sinnes, calling on the name of the Lord. 17And it came to passe, that when I was come againe to Hierusalem, euen while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance, 18And saw him saying vnto mee, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Hierusalem: for they will not receiue thy testimony concerning me.
