Then we can give our attention to prayer and to teaching God’s word.”

At all times, pray by the power of the Spirit. Pray all kinds of prayers. Be watchful, so that you can pray. Always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

The believers studied what the apostles taught. They shared their lives together. They ate and prayed together.

Even though you are evil, you know how to give good gifts to your children. How much more will your Father who is in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

When you hope, be joyful. When you suffer, be patient. When you pray, be faithful.

Jesus told his disciples a story. He wanted to show them that they should always pray and not give up.

Give a lot of time and effort to prayer. Always be watchful and thankful.

“ Again, here is what I tell you. Suppose two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for. My Father in heaven will do it for you.Where two or three people gather in my name, I am there with them.”

When the day of Pentecost came, all the believers gathered in one place.

Every day they met together in the temple courtyard. They ate meals together in their homes. Their hearts were glad and sincere.

If you believe, you will receive what you ask for when you pray.”

While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside. They wanted to speak to him.

The believers heard this. Then they raised their voices together in prayer to God.“ Lord and King,” they said,“ you made the heavens, the earth and the sea. You made everything in them.Long ago you spoke by the Holy Spirit. You spoke through the mouth of our father David, who served you. You said,“‘ Why are the nations angry? Why do the people make useless plans?The kings of the earth rise up. The rulers of the earth gather together against the Lord and against his anointed king.’( Psalm 2:1, 2)In fact, Herod and Pontius Pilate met with the Gentiles in this city. They also met with the people of Israel. All of them made plans against your holy servant Jesus. He is the one you anointed.They did what your power and purpose had already decided should happen.Now, Lord, consider the bad things they say they are going to do. Help us to be very bold when we speak your word.Stretch out your hand to heal. Do signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit. They were bold when they spoke God’s word.

Every day they went to the temple, praising God.

Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them were the ones who told the apostles.

Jesus’ mother and brothers came and stood outside. They sent someone in to get him.A crowd was sitting around Jesus. They told him,“ Your mother and your brothers are outside. They are looking for you.”“ Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” he asked.Then Jesus looked at the people sitting in a circle around him. He said,“ Here is my mother! Here are my brothers!Anyone who does what God wants is my brother or sister or mother.”

But all those who knew Jesus stood not very far away, watching these things. They included the women who had followed him from Galilee.

So were some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses. One was Mary Magdalene. Seven demons had come out of her.Another was Joanna, the wife of Chuza. He was the manager of Herod’s household. Susanna and many others were there also. These women were helping to support Jesus and the 12 disciples with their own money.

The Sabbath day ended. Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices. They were going to use them for Jesus’ body.

The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph. They saw the tomb and how Jesus’ body was placed in it.

Not very far away, many women were watching. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to take care of his needs.

“ Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary? Aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas?Aren’t all his sisters with us? Then where did this man get all these things?”

Jesus’ mother stood near his cross. So did his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.Jesus saw his mother there. He also saw the disciple he loved standing nearby. Jesus said to his mother,“ Dear woman, here is your son.”

Not very far away, some women were watching. Mary Magdalene was among them. Mary, the mother of the younger James and of Joseph, was also there. So was Salome.
