In this powerful way the word of the Lord was spreading and gaining strength.
My word, which comes from my mouth, is like the rain and snow. It will not come back to me without results. It will accomplish whatever I want and achieve whatever I send it to do.”
But God’s word continued to spread and win many followers.
When the governor saw what had happened, he believed. The Lord’s teachings amazed him.
This continued for two years so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord.
God’s word continued to spread, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem grew very large. A large number of priests accepted the faith.
Finally, brothers and sisters, pray that we spread the Lord’s word rapidly and that it will be honored the way it was among you.
