“And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.”
Acts 22:21 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 22:21
Jesus's direct command - 'Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles' - defined Paul's apostolic mission. The 'far hence' indicated both geographical distance and cultural gulf between Judaism and Gentile nations. This divine sending superseded Paul's natural preference to witness to fellow Jews, showing how God's purposes often redirect our initial inclinations toward His broader plans.
