   18 (Lk 10:19; Ac 3:16) they will take up serpents; if they drink   
   any deadly thing, it will not hurt them;   
   they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."   
      
   [15] And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel   
   to every creature.   
   [16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth   
   not shall be damned.   
   [17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they   
   cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;   
   [18] They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it   
   shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall   
   recover.   
      
   Luke 24:44-49   
      
   44 (Ps 72:1-20; 118:22) He said to them, "These are the words   
   which I spoke to you while I was still with you,   
   that all things must be fulfilled which were written   
   in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and in the Psalms concerning Me."   
   45 (Ac 16:14; Job 33:16) Then He opened their minds to understand   
   the Scriptures.   
   46 (Lk 24:44) He said to them, "Thus it is written, and accordingly   
   it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead   
   the third day,   
   47 (Ac 5:31; Mt 28:19; Ac 2:38) and that repentance and remission   
   of sins should be preached in His name to all nations,   
   beginning at Jerusalem.   
   48 (Ac 1:8; 2:32) You are witnesses of these things.   
   49 (Ac 1:4; Jn 14:26) And look, I am sending the promise of My Father   
   upon you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed   
   with power from on high."   
      
   [44] And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you,   
   while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were   
   written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms,   
   concerning me.   
   [45] Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the   
   scriptures,   
   [46] And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to   
   suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:   
   [47] And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his   
   name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.   
   [48] And ye are witnesses of these things.   
   [49] And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in   
   the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.   
      
   Mark 16:19-20   
      
   The Ascension   
   Lk 24:50-53; Ac 1:9-11   
   19 (1Pe 3:22; Heb 1:3; 12:2) After the Lord had spoken to them,   
   He was received up into heaven and sat at the right hand of God.   
   20 (Ac 5:12; Heb 2:4) Then they went forth and preached everywhere,   
   the Lord working with them and confirming the word through   
   the accompanying signs. Amen.   
      
   [19] So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into   
   heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.   
   [20] And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with   
   them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.   
      
   Luke 24:50-53   
      
   The Ascension   
   Mk 16:19-20; Ac 1:9-11   
      
   50 (Ac 1:12; Mt 21:17) Then He led them out as far as Bethany,   
   and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.   
   51 (2Ki 2:11; Mk 16:19) While He blessed them, He parted from them   
   and was carried up into heaven.   
   52 (Mt 28:9; Jn 16:22) Then they worshipped Him,   
   and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,   
   53 and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.   
      
   [50] And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands,   
   and blessed them.   
   [51] And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them,   
   and carried up into heaven.   
   [52] And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:   
   [53] And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.   
      
   Acts 1   
   The Promise of the Holy Spirit   
      
   1 (Lk 1:3; 24:19) The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus,   
   concerning all that Jesus began both to do and teach,   
   2 (Jn 13:18; 20:21) until the day when He was taken up,   
   after He had given commandments through the Holy Spirit   
   to the apostles whom He had chosen,   
   3 (1Co 15:5-7; Jn 20:26) to whom He presented Himself alive   
   after His passion by many infallible proofs,   
   appearing to them for forty days,   
   and speaking concerning the kingdom of God.   
   4 (Lk 24:49; Jn 14:16) Being assembled with them, He commanded them,   
   "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father,   
   of which you have heard from Me. (Lk 24:49. 5Mt 3:11; Lk 3:16)   
   For John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized   
   with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."   
      
   [1] The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus   
   began both to do and teach,   
   [2] Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the   
   Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:   
   [3] To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many   
   infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the   
   things pertaining to the kingdom of God:   
   [4] And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they   
   should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the   
   Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.   
   The Ascension   
      
   6 (Mt 17:11) So when they had come together, they asked Him,   
   "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"   
   7 (Mt 24:36; Da 2:21; Mk 13:32) He said to them, "It is not for you   
   to know the times or the dates, which the Father has fixed   
   by His own authority.   
   8 (Mt 28:19; Mk 16:15) But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit   
   comes upon you. And you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem,   
   and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."   
   9 (Ac 1:2; Lk 24:50-51) When He had spoken these things,   
   while they looked, He was taken up.   
   And a cloud received Him from their sight.   
   10 (Lk 24:4; Jn 20:12) While they looked intently toward heaven as   
   He ascended, suddenly two men stood by them in white garments.   
   11 (Ac 2:7; 13:31) They said, "Men of Galilee, why stand looking   
   toward heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you to heaven,   
   will come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."   
      
   [6] When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying,   
   Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?   
   [7] And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the   
   seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.   
   [8] But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon   
   you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all   
   Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.   
   [9] And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken   
   up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.   
   [10] And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up,   
   behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;   
   [11] Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into   
   heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall   
   so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
