Acts 26:17-20 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

17. " 'I will save you from your own people and from those who aren't Jews. I am sending you to them

18. to open their eyes. I want you to turn them from darkness to light. I want you to turn them from Satan's power to God. I want their sins to be forgiven. They will be forgiven when they believe in me. They will have their place among God's people.'

19. "So then, King Agrippa, I obeyed the vision that appeared from heaven.

20. First I preached to people in Damascus. Then I preached in Jerusalem and in all Judea. I preached also to people who are not Jews. I told them to turn away from their sins to God. The way they live must prove that they have turned away from their sins.
