⁸ But you will receive ^(A)power ^(B)when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and ^(C)you will be ^(D)my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and ^(E)Samaria, and ^(F)to the end of the earth.”

The Coming of the Holy Spirit

¹⁵ As I began to speak, ^(A)the Holy Spirit fell on them ^(B)just as on us at the beginning. ¹⁶ And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ^(C)‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ ¹⁷ If then ^(D)God gave ^(E)the same gift to them as he gave to us ^(F)when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, ^(G)who was I ^(H)that I could stand in God's way?”
