With great power the apostles {\cf2\super [81]} told the people that the Lord Jesus was truly raised from death. And God blessed all the believers very much.
The followers went everywhere in the world and told the Good News {\cf2\super [243]} to people. And the Lord helped them. The Lord proved that the Good News they told people was true. He proved this by giving the followers power to do miracles. {\cf2\super [244]}
But the Holy Spirit {\cf2\super [5]} will come to you. Then you will receive power. You will be my witnesses—\{you will tell people about me\}. First, you will tell people in Jerusalem. Then you will tell people in all of Judea, in Samaria, and in every part of the world.”
The believers praised God, and all the people liked them. More and more people were being saved every day; the Lord was adding those people to the group \{of believers\}.
Help us to be brave by showing us your power: make sick people well, give proofs, and make miracles {\cf2\super [78]} happen by the power of Jesus, your holy servant.”
We brought the Good News {\cf2\super [1]} to you. But we did not use only words. We brought that Good News with power. We brought it with the Holy Spirit {\cf2\super [2]} and with sure knowledge that it was true. Also you know how we lived when we were with you. We lived that way to help you.
God also proved it by using wonders, great signs, and many kinds of miracles. {\cf2\super [7]} And he proved it by giving people gifts through the Holy Spirit. {\cf2\super [8]} He gave those gifts the way he wanted.
