A READING FROM THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES
(FIRST READER ONLY)

AFTER HIS SUFFERING, JESUS PRESENTED HIMSELF ALIVE TO

THE APOSTLES IN MANY CONVINCING WAYS./

HE TOLD THEM."YOU WILL BE BAPTIZED WITH THE HOLY

SPIRIT NOT MANY DAYS FROM NOW."/

"YOU WILL RECEIVE POWER WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS

COME UPON YOU/

AND YOU WILL BE MY WITNESSES...TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH."/

AFTER HE HAD SAID THIS, AS THEY WERE WATCHING,/

HE WAS LIFTED UP AND A CLOUD TOOK HIM OUT OF THEIR SIGHT./
