So you must go and make disciples of all nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

You know how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Jesus went around doing good. He healed all who were under the devil’s power. God was with him.“ We are witnesses of everything he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by nailing him to a cross.But on the third day God raised him from the dead. God allowed Jesus to be seen.But he wasn’t seen by all the people. He was seen only by us. We are witnesses whom God had already chosen. We ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

He said to them,“ Go into all the world. Preach the good news to everyone.

With great power the apostles continued their teaching. They were telling people that the Lord Jesus had risen from the dead. And God’s grace was working powerfully in all of them.

He has given me power to do signs and wonders. I can do these things by the power of the Spirit of God. From Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum I have finished preaching. In those places, I preached the good news about Christ.

When the day of Pentecost came, all the believers gathered in one place.Suddenly a sound came from heaven. It was like a strong wind blowing. It filled the whole house where they were sitting.They saw something that looked like fire in the shape of tongues. The flames separated and came to rest on each of them.All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit. They began to speak in languages they had not known before. The Spirit gave them the ability to do this.

He told them,“ This is what is written. The Messiah will suffer. He will rise from the dead on the third day.His followers will preach in his name. They will tell others to turn away from their sins and be forgiven. People from every nation will hear it, beginning at Jerusalem.You have seen these things with your own eyes.I am going to send you what my Father has promised. But for now, stay in the city. Stay there until you have received power from heaven.”

We are telling people about these things. And so is the Holy Spirit. God has given the Spirit to those who obey him.”

Stephen was full of God’s grace and power. He did great wonders and signs among the people.

But I ask,“ Didn’t the people of Israel hear?” Of course they did. It is written,“ Their voice has gone out into the whole earth. Their words have gone out from one end of the world to the other.”( Psalm 19:4)

I have given you authority to walk all over snakes and scorpions. You will be able to destroy all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you.

You must also be witnesses about me. That’s because you have been with me from the beginning.

Philip went down to a city in Samaria. There he preached about the Messiah.The crowds listened to Philip and saw the signs he did. All of them paid close attention to what he said.Evil spirits screamed and came out of many people. Many people who were disabled or who couldn’t walk were healed.So there was great joy in that city.A man named Simon lived in the city. For quite a while he had practiced evil magic there. He amazed all the people of Samaria. He claimed to be someone great.And all the people listened to him, from the least important of them to the most important. They exclaimed,“ It is right to call this man the Great Power of God!”He had amazed them for a long time with his evil magic. So they followed him.But Philip announced the good news of God’s kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ. So men and women believed and were baptized.Simon himself believed and was baptized. He followed Philip everywhere. He was amazed by the great signs and miracles he saw.The apostles in Jerusalem heard that people in Samaria had accepted God’s word. So they sent Peter and John to Samaria.When they arrived there, they prayed for the new believers. They prayed that they would receive the Holy Spirit.The Holy Spirit had not yet come on any of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.Then Peter and John placed their hands on them. And they received the Holy Spirit.Simon watched as the apostles placed their hands on them. He saw that the Spirit was given to them. So he offered money to Peter and John.He said,“ Give me this power too. Then everyone I place my hands on will receive the Holy Spirit.”Peter answered,“ May your money be destroyed with you! Do you think you can buy God’s gift with money?You have no part or share in this holy work. Your heart is not right with God.Turn away from this evil sin of yours. Pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive you for having such a thought in your heart.I see that you are very bitter. You are a prisoner of sin.”Then Simon answered,“ Pray to the Lord for me. Pray that nothing you have said will happen to me.”Peter and John continued to preach the word of the Lord and tell people about Jesus. Then they returned to Jerusalem. On the way they preached the good news in many villages in Samaria.

This good news of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world. It will be a witness to all nations. Then the end will come.

For many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. Now they are telling our people about Jesus.

Now you will tell everyone about what you have seen and heard.

The Spirit of the Lord has filled me with power. He helps me do what is fair. He makes me brave. Now I’m prepared to tell Jacob’s people what they’ve done wrong. I’m ready to tell Israel they’ve sinned.

But you must keep your faith steady and firm. You must not move away from the hope the good news holds out to you. This is the good news that you heard. It has been preached to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, now serve the good news.

You killed the one who gives life. But God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.

The Lord will use the power of his holy arm to save his people. All the nations will see him do it. Everyone from one end of the earth to the other will see it.

Lord, you give me strength. You are like a fort to me. When I’m in trouble, I go to you for safety. The nations will come to you from one end of the earth to the other. They will gather together and say,“ Our people of long ago didn’t own anything except statues of gods. The statues were worthless. They didn’t do them any good.

“ I will give them a sign. I will send to the nations some of those who are left alive. I will send some of them to the people of Tarshish, Libya and Lydia, who are famous for using bows. I will send others to Tubal and Greece. And I will send still others to islands far away. The people who live there have not heard about my fame. They have not seen my glory. But when I act, those I send will tell the nations about my glory.

The angel answered,“ The Holy Spirit will come to you. The power of the Most High God will cover you. So the holy one that is born will be called the Son of God.

People from one end of the earth to the other will remember and turn to the Lord. The people of all the nations will bow down in front of him.

That time began when John was baptizing. It ended when Jesus was taken up from us. The one we choose must join us in telling people that Jesus rose from the dead.”

Here is what the Lord says to me.“ It is not enough for you as my servant to bring the tribes of Jacob back to their land. It is not enough for you to bring back the people of Israel I have kept alive. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles. Then you will make it possible for the whole world to be saved.”

Sing a new song to the Lord. Sing praise to him from one end of the earth to the other. Sing, you who sail out on the ocean. Sing, all you creatures in it. Sing, you islands. Sing, all you who live there.

But they tried hard to keep him from leaving. They said,“ Stay with us. It is nearly evening. The day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.

I will appoint my two witnesses. And they will prophesy for 1,260 days. They will be dressed in the rough clothes people wear when they’re sad.”The witnesses are“ the two olive trees” and the two lampstands. And“ they stand in front of the Lord of the earth.”( Zechariah 4:3, 11, 14)If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and eats up their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.These witnesses have power to close up the sky. Then it will not rain while they are prophesying. They also have power to turn the waters into blood. And they can strike the earth with every kind of plague. They can do this as often as they want to.
