Acts 22:21 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 22:21

And he said unto me, depart
At once from Jerusalem, and out of the land of Judea:

for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles;
to the nations afar off, even as far as Illyricum, Pannonia, or Hungary, where the apostle went and preached, ( Romans 15:19 ) and so by a divine mission and commission he became the apostle of the Gentiles, and preached the Gospel among them with great success, to the conversion of many thousands of them, and to the planting of many churches in the midst of them.

Acts 22:21 In-Context

19 et ego dixi Domine ipsi sciunt quia ego eram concludens in carcerem et caedens per synagogas eos qui credebant in te
20 et cum funderetur sanguis Stephani testis tui ego adstabam et consentiebam et custodiebam vestimenta interficientium illum
21 et dixit ad me vade quoniam ego in nationes longe mittam te
22 audiebant autem eum usque ad hoc verbum et levaverunt vocem suam dicentes tolle de terra eiusmodi non enim fas est eum vivere
23 vociferantibus autem eis et proicientibus vestimenta sua et pulverem iactantibus in aerem
