CHRIST -Acts
1
wait for the promise of the Father, which,
ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water: but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 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
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
10
Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
11
What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common
John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
18
Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
20
It is more blessed to give than to receive.
22
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
23
Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
26
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
