13. ACTS 1:1-3
In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all
that Jesus began to do & to teach until the day He
was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions
through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had
chosen. After His suffering, He presented Himself
to them & gave many convincing proofs that He
was alive. He appeared to them over a period of
40 days & spoke about the kingdom of God.

14. ACTS 1:4-5
On one occasion, while He was eating with them,
He gave them this command: “Do not leave
Jerusalem, but wait for the gift My Father
promised, which you have heard Me speak
about. For John baptized with water,
but in a few days you will be baptized
with the Holy Spirit.”

15. ACTS 1:6-8
Then they gathered around Him & asked Him,
“Lord, are you at this time going to restore the
kingdom to Israel?” He said to them: “It is not for
you to know the times or dates the Father has
set by His own authority. But you will receive
power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;
& you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem,
& in all Judea & Samaria, & to the
ends of the earth.”

16. ACTS 2:1-4
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all
together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the
blowing of a violent wind came from heaven &
filled the whole house where they were sitting.
They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire
that separated & came to rest on each of them.
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit
& began to speak in other tongues
as the Spirit enabled them.

17. ACTS 2:17-18, 21
In the last days, God says,
I will pour out My Spirit on all people.
Your sons & daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
Even on My servants, both men & women,
I will pour out My Spirit in those days,
& they will prophesy…And everyone
who calls on the name of the Lord
will be saved. (Joel 2:28, 29 & 32)

25. 2 CORINTHIANS 7:7-9
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show
that this all-surpassing power is from God &
not from us. We are hard pressed on every side,
but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down,
but not destroyed…

26. 2 CORINTHIANS 11:22-30
Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites?
So am I. Are they Abraham’s descendants?
So am I. Are they servants of Christ?...
I am more. I have worked much harder,
been in prison more frequently,
been flogged more severely, & been
exposed to death again & again…
Five times I received from the Jews
the forty lashes minus one…

27. 2 CORINTHIANS 11:22-30
Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was
pelted with stones, three times I was
shipwrecked, I spent a night & a day
in the open sea, I have been constantly on
the move. I have been in danger from rivers,
in danger from bandits, in danger
from my fellow Jews, in danger
from Gentiles; in danger in the city,
in danger in the country & at sea;

28. 2 CORINTHIANS 11:22-30
& in danger from false believers. I have labored
& toiled & have often gone without sleep;
I have known hunger & thirst & have often
gone without food; I have been cold & naked.
Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure
of my concern for all the churches.
Who is weak, & I do not feel weak?...
If I must boast, I will boast of the things
that show my weakness.
