Excerpt from Christian Researches in Asia: With Notices of the Translation of the Scriptures Into the Oriental Languages These doctrines our Savior embodied in a short Commission or Charge, which he delivered, after his ascension into heaven, to one of his Apostles. It was given to that Apostle, whom our Lord called the chosen vessel, to bear his name to the Gentiles, Acts ix, 15. For when Paul was proceeding on his way to Damascus, a light above the brightness of the sun shone around him; and our Savior Spoke to him from heaven in the following words: I Send thee to the Gentiles to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God; that they may receive forgiveness of Sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith, which is in me, Acts xxvi, 18.
