Jesus tells his disciples to remain in Jerusalem and wait for the Holy Spirit. They will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes and will be witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth. The document discusses the coming of the Holy Spirit and empowering of believers. It also describes examples of the apostles and early church community being filled with the Holy Spirit and boldly spreading the gospel through signs, wonders, and sharing possessions.

4. 4 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. 5 For John baptized with water,
but in a few days you will be baptized with the
Holy Spirit.” [NIV]

“ALL BELIEVERS OF
JESUS CHRIST”

17. 1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the
road through the interior and arrived at
Ephesus. There he found some disciples 2 and
asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit
when you believed?” They answered, “No, we
have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
3 So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you
receive?” “John’s baptism,” they replied.

18. 4 Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of
repentance. He told the people to believe in the
one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”
5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the
name of the Lord Jesus. 6 When Paul placed
his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on
them, and they spoke in tongues and
prophesied. [NIV]

21. 3 This salvation, which was first announced by
the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who
heard him. 4 God also testified to it by signs,
wonders and various miracles, and by gifts
of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his
will. [NIV]

22. 6 Then Peter said,
“Silver or gold I do
not have, but what I
do have I give you.
In the name of
Jesus Christ of
Nazareth, walk.”
[NIV]

24. 7 They had Peter and John brought before them
and began to question them: “By what power or
what name did you do this?”
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said
to them: 10 It is by the name of Jesus Christ of
Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God
raised from the dead, that this man stands
before you healed. [NIV]

25. 13 When they saw the courage of Peter and
John and realized that they were unschooled,
ordinary men, they were astonished and they
took note that these men had been with Jesus.
16 “What are we going to do with these men?”
they asked. “Everyone living in Jerusalem
knows they have performed a notable sign, and
we cannot deny it.

26. 18 Then they called them in again and
commanded them not to speak or teach at all in
the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John
replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen
to you, or to him? You be the judges! 20 As for
us, we cannot help speaking about what we
have seen and heard.”

27. 21 After further threats they let them go. They
could not decide how to punish them, because
all the people were praising God for what had
happened. 22 For the man who was
miraculously healed was over forty years old.

28. 23 On their release, Peter and John went back
to their own people and reported all that the
chief priests and the elders had said to them.
24 When they heard this, they raised their
voices together in prayer to God.
31 After they prayed, the place where they were
meeting was shaken. And they were all filled
with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God
boldly.

29. 32 All the believers were one in heart and mind.
No one claimed that any of their possessions
was their own, but they shared everything they
had.
33 With great power the apostles continued to
testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And
God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them
all 34 that there were no needy persons among
them.

30. 34 For from time to time those who owned land
or houses sold them, brought the money from
the sales 35 and put it at the apostles’ feet, and
it was distributed to anyone who had need.

35. 37 When the people heard this, they were cut to
the heart and said to Peter and the other
apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized,
every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ
for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. [NIV]

37. 17 “‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams. [NIV]

38. 20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably
more than all we ask or imagine, according to
his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be
glory in the church and in Christ Jesus
throughout all generations, for ever and ever!
Amen. [NIV]
